Perhaps it will slowly occur to Harnel that he is battling two beings, not one. On one hand, there is a furious, powerful beast, the leviathan from which the weapon was taken. Though weakened and separated from its tooth, it refuses to be mastered, its will set strongly against Harnel, though ultimately it could not resist.
Yet, there is a second being Harnel battles in his attempt to master the spear, and its role and presence is far more difficult to discern. It is distinctly different from the beast, for it does not struggle or rage, but it is there, and its power is stronger than the beast's. Harnel's first indication of its presence is that he may suddenly feel it reject him, recognizing that he is not of it, and in doing so, it wards him away with the strength of its identity, which is a tangling maze that runs endlessly in all directions and yet, always brings him back full circle.
