While it's probably sudden and anticlimactic, this will be the end of the story for now.
Originally, Theodore was supposed to head underground and do battle with the mages, but in the end, I find that the stakes are a bit too high and the motivations for going through all that lacking.
I even had a hefty draft for that part of the story, but I just did not like how it all went and much preferred this other ending. I feel that, despite how much of an anticlimax it is, at least it gives Theodore's story arc more closure than the other route would have been.
Lastly, I feel a bit burned out from this story, so I'd like to take a break from it and work on something different for the time being. In this I hope for your understanding and continual support in my future endeavors.
