Not Ready To Change

After confronting Arlo and Remi in a courtyard and instigating a fight unwinnable for them, John feels the immense pressure of a power thought to be permanently gone.

Facing a fight with his former friend, Seraphina, John is forced into a situation where he truly embraces the old.

Unready and unwilling to change yet, John stands his ground with his years of experience propping him up to face the goddess who wants to talk.

John knows what Seraphina wants, he's just not willing to give it.

(This story is a take on the alternate future that could have been in Unordinary had John been more stable during his fight with Seraphina. This piece will delve into the idea of the final fight not being a simple solution where Seraphina breaks through to John, but starts an entirely different series of events with a slower path to reconciliation.)
