Ah, the sudden realization and enlightenment that signals the next stage of growth for a character.
Not to mention the helpful and caring mentor that is not only warm and inviting but also encourages his apprentice to come up with his own answers to such a big question.
This is the kind of exchange I've been waiting to see when I first made this prompt.
Excellent work!

This is a really good story.
The young boy going through his struggle of losing his power is interesting and sympathetic, but the real star of this show is the old mentor.
His personality and dialogue are what really makes this story so good, and that is a testament to your talent for characterization.
Great Job!

I like the direction you went with this prompt.
When I first made it I imagined a reality warping event affecting the entire world except for one person, but in your story the world of heroes basically kidnapped a normal man and made him a hero.
It's amazing, and a little unsettling, how comfortable his girlfriend is with the whole replacement goldfish scenario, but as a superhero I guess she's used to clones, time travel, and all of those other wacky hi-jinks.
This was a great story! I hope to see more of your work in the future.
