About This Quote

The wizard Howl was telling the schoolgirls about the great battle between "The King of the Mists" and "The King of the Waves", in which both wizards had used their powers to try to engulf the whole world. Howl said that he was bored by all this because neither side had caused the other any harm. He was dying of boredom, because there was nothing to do.
