"What do we do now?" Dorran asked with a concerned look as he watched Nox kneeling before Kaelen's lifeless body.
Several minutes of silence passed. Nox didn't speak—neither did anyone else. They simply stood there, waiting for his orders.
After a long silence, he finally rose and looked at the others. "Dispose of his body. He's no longer of any use."
Croalia and Lyra exchanged glances and went to carry out the order. They took Kaelen's body and swam away.
King Thalasar watched the two disappear, then shifted his gaze back to Nox. "Although it's unfortunate that we didn't learn more about the Scourge Queen, you still killed two birds with one stone. With Kaelen gone, the Sea Devotees no longer have a powerful warrior to rally behind."
Nox nodded, not arguing with the fact. Kaelen was strong, but in the end, he was only on par with the Scourge Commanders.
