Well I think it spoke.
After Beregond's death, the blade turned black -- that we know for sure -- in mourning. It must have had a mind of it's own.
Perhaps possesed by a 'houseless elf' (the rebellious soul, most often of a Noldo who refuses to return to the West and instead finds a way to remain) or a Maia, the blade spoke. Probably a houseless elf, seeing as how the blade was forged by the elves.
