Here, I'll highlight it:

Quote

Nameless ascended the stairs into the Temple of Blades. He walked into the door, shivering from the cold. A glowing cloud made up of a million tiny spheres of light floated up to him. "What are you here for?" It floated closer, reaching a tendril out and touching Nameless head. "Ah... I see, revenge. You were wronged by your fellow narrators, I believe? Sometimes it is hard to tell, especially with all the protections around your mind." Nameless looked up at the cloud. "I wasn't just wronged. They sent me to an insane asylum. I was seeking help! I knew that I had a problem, and I was dealing with it, but they ignored my protests. They betrayed me. Now I'm done playing their games. I'm going to make them regret what they've done, even if it kills me." The cloud swirled for a moment, growing brighter, then returned to normal. "Very well. If you wish a weapon, you will receive one. Follow me please" Nameless followed the cloud through the temple, passing many legendary weapons on the way. Eventually they came to a locked door, sealed with chains made of Aluminum, and guarded by three Shardbearers and a Mistborn. The cloud flew up to them, and the guards stepped aside, barely glancing at the strange new visitor. The doors unsealed, revealing a long corridor, covered from floor to ceiling in complex murals. At the end there was an altar, and on that altar lay a sword. The cloud spoke: "This is the most powerful weapon in our collection. The sword above all swords, The Sword. It is the archetype of which all others are pale comparisons. A more powerful blade than this cannot be made. It grows in power each time a new sword is created. It is a blade great enough to burn kingdoms, to destroy planets, to cut universes." The cloud stopped, looking at Nameless. Nameless stared at the sword for a long time, then finally spoke: "It may just be enough."

You push me away, said Samuel quietly. You push all of us away. Do you want to end up alone?

Yes. Coronavirus is a serious problem. As for the metaphorical pushing, no, I don't want to end up alone. That doesn't mean I'll let anyone do anything they want to the things I make. Would you let other people declare that the mimes are actually evil monsters and that they control all of them with a magic item they found?

You never called it The Sword again, only once, therefore, it is not The Sword

No, said Samuel, but they don't declare it, do they?

[The_Archivist he/him]

A random person walks up and declares exactly that.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Their name was Finaglius Minakian C, and they were not a Narrator.

I also called it The Sword in TLPW, when talking to Nathrangking.

So why do you attack me for doing this? Is no one else allowed to make their own personal creations?

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Of course you're allowed, said Samuel. No one ever said you weren't- and you wouldn't have to listen to them if you did. Of course, he continued, raising a finger, just because you created them doesn't mean that other people have to respect your wishes for them. He gave Nameless a serious look. That's something that Fate had to deal with too, you know.

So maybe you could sympathize a little more? Maybe stop trying o co-opt it for yourself?

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Samuel lauged, a little sadly. Child, Fate's nature is to co-opt. Did you think he came up with we the mimes on his own?

[NameIess]

No, I didn't, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you steal my Sword.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Why not? said Samuel. Don't you want plot?

@The Last Post you have been betrayed. 

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Hasty words, said Samuel mildly. I never said Fate wanted plot. Not here, at least.

[Truthless of Shinovar he/him]

Fate wants a bunker party.

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

And a bunker party he shall have. 
Several confetti cannons went off.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Bacon was served.

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

Zuko the cuckoo came out of hiding, and clucked for some bacon.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

He recieved bakin' instead. (The cook had failed Parrot in college.)

[Rosharan A.C. he/him]

This bakin’ was full of all sorts of nutrients, including pieces of thermonuke. Suffice it to say that the party was kicked up to an eleven.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

An eleven being a kind of spaceship.

Was it bolded? Also TLPW is not canon

No it wasn't bolded, it was on TLPW. My point is that I have always intended that it be The Sword. I simply called it "his Sword" because that's what it was. I couldn't call it "his The Sword" without it sounding weird.
