i will endure the night for the promise of light
Was it humble for Noah to say that it was his humility that kept him from trying to claim a spot? Well, probably not. But it was true. The people had elected Deimos and Evie to lead them when the preparations for war -- and the likelihood of his death -- had gotten too heavy for him. He wasn't trying to come back in and grab power, but he'd be damned if he did not ensure Halo's safety.
Nodding, Noah agreed."We must make sure that in the wake of the Voice's defeat, the world sees abandoned better than they had before." After all, the Voice had taken her magic and tried to build herself higher and stronger than the gods. In Noah's mind, the demigods current would be able to keep anyone else from trying to take the same kind of power. "The war shook us all, and Remi took a great deal of damage..." Noah said, trailing off as if to infer that Ronin may leave Stormbreak to the hands of someone else. "But I would be more than willing to go, more than willing to take up the mantle."
