You spit on your hands, and rub them together hoping to get a good grip on the handle of the sword, so you can pull the entire thing out of the pillar. With enough strength, you should be able to handle as much power the sword had in store for you, as you began to pull it out of the pillar with your bare hands.
As you begin to pull, you began to feel different, as you feel your face begin to change with your eyebrows becoming extremely thin, and your nose became small. You had the face of a female, while your own voice got higher than normal, and you felt your hair getting longer, and go from brown to blonde while you were struggling. You could even hear your own voice change with every grunt you begin to make, as the vocal chords inside your body became higher, and higher.
