John sat there without moving, the flames creeping closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied the fire for a moment, then asked curiously, \"An impressive spell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protego Diabolica,\" Grindelwald said, meeting John's gaze through the flames with a smile. \"I am willing to teach it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm truly honored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John smiled faintly, his eyes shifting to the wand in Grindelwald's hand as he said in a low voice, \"The Elder Wand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. I was one step ahead of you,\" Grindelwald said, stroking the wand. \"You cannot go back. Why not join me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the excited Credence and added, \"He would wish for that as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not object to that,\" John said, also looking at Credence before turning back to Grindelwald. \"You may continue what you're doing, but on one condition. Do not harm innocent people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are still as proud as ever,\" Grindelwald said with a smile. \"Are you so confident he will not submit to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not deceive him, Grindelwald,\" John said, fixing him with a steady gaze. \"You know what he is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald did not respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newt noticed the white-haired wizard and moved to stop Credence from joining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini did the same, but Credence took her hand and said, \"Wait for me. I will come back to find you once I discover who I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Credence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Credence stepped through the flames, and Grindelwald revealed a victorious smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire surged, forcing the Aurors back step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Queenie also moved to cross the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob knew how terrible war was, and he tried to stop Queenie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queenie, \"..he's the answer.

Queenie, don't go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked onto the stage and Disapparated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue flames spread and raged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credence was gently embraced by Grindelwald, who whispered in his ear, \"All of this is for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only want to know who I am,\" Credence said, glancing toward John, who stood outside the flames with an unreadable expression, as he reached out to grasp the pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald only smiled faintly. No one could remain indifferent under his influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder Wand became his conductor's baton, the flames his orchestra, and death the notes of his composition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue fire struck down the Aurors who tried to Disapparate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six or seven Aurors, panicking, rushed through the flames toward Grindelwald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a slaughter, and also a display of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames wove through the space, yet never touched John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed like the only spectator within the fire, watching this elegy of death unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Scamander, do you think Dumbledore will mourn for you?\" Grindelwald focused his attention on the two Scamanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help them!\" Tina shouted toward John, who stood watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shrugged. \"Sorry, Tina. They can handle it themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know me?\" Tina was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John had let it slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded familiar to Tina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happening now was something John had already glimpsed in a flash of foresight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To protect the two Scamanders, Leta pretended to join Grindelwald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald personally welcomed her, yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leta looked resolutely toward the two Scamanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who did she love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew, and there would be no answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the boy who had saved her in her school days, the other the fiancé who had always cared for her afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she loved them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Slytherin, being a little greedy was not a fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leta raised her wand and aimed at the skull in Vinda Rozier's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spell struck, shattering the skull and knocking Vinda down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue flames lost control, surging toward Leta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John watched the scene coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theseus, like a man possessed, tried to rush through the fire and nearly got consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John slowly closed his eyes as cries of anguish rang endlessly in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should be leaving,\" Grindelwald said to John. \"This place is no longer under my control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took Credence with him. Casting one last glance around, he said with distaste, \"I hate Paris.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They Disapparated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving chaos behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John rose slowly, his figure vanishing before reappearing beside Nagini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the blue flames were about to reach her, they were driven back by a golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John put an arm around Nagini's shoulder and whispered, \"He will see you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini was overcome with sorrow. Tears filled her eyes, and with a trace of hatred she stared at him. \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John,\" he said in a low voice. \"John Wick. Do not forget me, Nagini.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be leaving, and this is a secret between us. Keep it buried in your soul. Do not forget.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, tender to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this departure, Nagini would endure years of suffering, until that day in Albania when a reckless boy would stumble in and bring her salvation once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagini sensed the sadness within John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was full of contradictions. He could remain indifferent to the deaths around him, yet show sorrow when saying farewell to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grindelwald's flames had already spiraled out of control. John shielded Nagini and, in passing, saved the Muggle nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Père Lachaise Cemetery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after John led the two of them out, Newt, Theseus, and the others Disapparated out one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue flames pursued them. It was a massive disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every grave seemed to spew fire outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cemetery stood on the brink of destruction as Grindelwald's flames took the form of a dragon-like monster, bent on annihilating everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the end of Paris draw near, John said softly, \"Now it is your turn to appear, Professor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature burst out of the cemetery, wreaking havoc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aurors' attacks had no effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man arrived, moving with unsteady steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When John saw him, a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only suppress it, forcing himself not to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicolas Flamel arrived and directed everyone to gather, forming a circle and planting their wands into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the counter-charm could oppose such a terrifying spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the old man's instruction, everyone spread out around the cemetery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wands were driven into the ground, and a golden barrier rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire of purification clashed against the dark flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood united, and then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purifying fire was bitten apart by the dark flames, its head torn away. Everyone coughed blood and staggered back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\" John was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not how things were supposed to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Child, our strength is not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicolas Flamel's voice rang out as he called to John.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh..?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John's body trembled. He turned his head in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a questioning look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicolas Flamel's voice carried a gentle warmth, confirming John's suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Child, do what you are best at.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sometimes, one must be a little willful to live up to the power in one's hands.\" Nicolas Flamel blinked at him. \"Care for your own child. Borrow that power. You will need it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old man, by some unknown means, had come to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he had seen the future, or perhaps it was the will of the one guarding behind the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John smiled helplessly. \"Heh~ You're far more willful now than you will be in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm younger. My state of mind is different,\" Nicolas Flamel said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John looked at the dragon that was about to destroy the city and said, \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina could not fully understand their conversation, but she could tell that this white-haired wizard might be able to save the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, whoever you are,\" Tina pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John looked into her eyes and suddenly asked, \"Has anyone ever told you your eyes look like those of a salamander?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tina's eyes were the same as his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, John drew out a white wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's useless. Even Finite can't end it!\" Newt was forced back by the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Playing with fire?\" John shook his head with a faint smile. \"Newt, have you forgotten who rules the flames?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are?\" Newt did not recall having such familiarity with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John simply bared his teeth in a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden flames ignited from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John murmured to himself, \"It's close. It's coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at Nagini, his voice gentle. \"May you have no regrets this time, Nagini.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden fire completely engulfed him as he raised his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to respond.
