Mm. Due to circumstances, we were left to raise a child in the midst of what should have been a routine mission. We stayed long enough to watch both he and his own children grow.
It all comes down to the protection of our human masters. No matter what form we take it is our one mission despite what else may be occurring at the time.
[ unless you're unlucky like certain other swords ]
We do what we can to help them aim true. To keep them safe. To remain as sharp as the day we were forged and fight with them as one.
[ Mmmmmm....... he tilts his head, trying to figure out how to explain this properly ]
It's less a physical action than remaining a steady presence by their side. Our awareness isn't quite the same as it is now with physical bodies. We may understand what is happening around us but there isn't much we can do to help unless physically wielded.
Our master, they're trained in the arts of manifesting the souls of objects into a body of their own. A Saniwa if you will.
We, as the loyal weapons of key people in history, were deemed the best source of action against an enemy they could not fight head on. Given our time in the eras beforehand, we knew what to look out for the best and had the means to fight them.

Oh? Am I creating a beloved childhood classic?

It's a treat that became very popular when my wards were young. So perhaps it makes me more nostalgic for them than anything else.

Your wars, hmmm?

... I have some experience with that sort of thing.
[ raising kids due to weird circumstances... ]
Must have been tough.
no subject
Mm, it was certainly a challenge. But luckily between the six of us there and the matrons of the village, somehow we succeed.
no subject
I'm sure the matrons really help. It takes a village, right?
no subject
It certainly does. I believe only Monoyoshi-kun knew how to take care of a child when we first arrived.
[ can you imagine how bullied these swords got by tiny grandmas ]

How do you apply this knowledge in sword form?

Must be frustrating that you can't shout out battle tips or move on your own during fights.
no subject
Mm, we are completely reliant on those who wield us. Recalling those battles and the 'what if-'s can certainly weigh heavily.
