"I am Water warlock, I am the wisest of the wise, and yet, here I am trapped in this dagger. What was I thinking when I volunteered myself to pass my consciousness into such an artifact? I planned everything, from the trials to the method of activation, but perhaps I should have used a different artifact, something mechanical that allowed me to move while I waited," It was just another day in the already countless millennia he spent trapped inside that dagger, only now it was different. "perhaps if I was able to move around, I wouldn't be bound to this useless kid."
Of all the possibilities he anticipated, never did it cross the ancient being's mind that the person who would find the dagger wouldn't be the strongest warrior, not just that, the one who found it was barely an adult. Granted, he was capable enough to bypass his trials, or maybe he was just lucky, but that didn't make it any less humiliating for Water warlock.
