"It's never over." Warren mumbled the words to himself, dimly aware that Sei had already departed after her comment. He was aware Howl was still with him and that the great dragon was dead at their feet, but nothing else seemed quite real.
Warren scoffed, shaking his head. Ryuuga didn't realize that he was the easy part. The source of the poisons that had been creeping into innocent people of the world. Prauvaulient had paid for his transgressions and now the beast himself had been laid low, but never did Warren expect that to suddenly fix everything.
"Your part is over, monster. For all of your preaching about true power, you were still killed by people choosing to fight for each other over themselves. True strength comes from those we fight for, not from within."
And that's why you're dead.
He couldn't stop himself from thinking the boast, but the words felt hollow somehow. This wasn't something to gloat about. The real work began now, cleaning up the sludge and oil that Ryuuga had dumped into the world.
It wasn't over, not yet. Warren knew that one day it would be, though. He had made up his mind before to save them, and he would see that through.
"Let's get back to society and get you cleaned up." He draped a hand around Howl's shoulder and turned to lead them away. The blood made him uneasy but there would be time to make everything right.
