Now, though, any proof of what was had been lost in the annals of time. Recorded on paper that was likely produced using those same trees. It wasn't necessarily something to get upset about, simply something that had to be understood. When one wanted to usher in the new, the old must be cleared away. The new could only be built on the foundation that was set before it. That was how the world worked, from cities to people.
Not everything changed. Some things were the same. The spot itself had not changed. It was the same relative patch of land that it had always been, no more or less than it ever was. Only what people could see had truly changed. It brought about the question- When one desired change, how much could remain the same to allocate room for the different?
The thoughts were deeper than Finn had truly dove before. His own processing of this information might not have been in these exact words, but they were no less astounding. The feeling of growth was still present. The aspiration to change was still there. The level of change was equivalent to any amount of eloquence or lack thereof. What, though, was it that he needed to change?
Planning ahead would probably do him good, however that was something about Finn that wasn't likely to change quite yet. He didn't know what he wanted to do to start his change, and making plans without knowledge wouldn't get him anywhere. That much, at the very least, he was certain of.
A smile touched his lips. He was back on a bench, randomly chosen from the plethora of seats that hat been placed throughout the streets. In front of him, quite some distance, was a fountain that was placed in the middle of a large empty area. There were a few street vendors selling odd goods and foods. Near by, stores were bustling with customers. The sun was high, and the people were in the full swing of enjoying their days.
Yet there sat Finn, on a single seat all alone. Jake had gone off to handle some of his own business, leaving Finn to explore his own thoughts. All he could wonder was where he'd be going from there-
And it was terrifying.
