Then humanity shall never be safe, for Stormbringer existed long before the Bright Empire was a gleam in my people's eye, and it will persist long after I and my world are obliterated from the minds of men. Were I to cast it away, it would return—I have done so many times, and it has. Were I to try and destroy it, I would fail. It is bound to me and no matter how I may wish it away, I have no choice. Wherever I go, it must accompany me, and I can do no more than to try and bind it with the magics that I have.
