There is special power in that sword, ' Ewer went on, 'the gem in the guard of the Ares holds the blood of the Creature that has been slain by it.

About This Quote

A sword that has been used to kill is the ultimate weapon and the blood on its blade is a potent symbol of this. The blood on the sword of Ares is a symbolic reminder of the blood on the Creature’s face as it is killed by the sword, and particularly of the blood on its own body as it takes its last breath.
