Meet the Mentor
The hero encounters a wise figure who prepares him for the journey. The mentor's job isn't to teachthem the "what", it's to support them in figuringout the "how".
Approach
Now, having prepared, our hero, and often his allies, have come to the edge of the dangerous place where the "object of the quest" is hidden
Challenge / Ordeal
The hero faces their biggest fears. Every challenge he has endured thus far has led them to this moment.Will he succeed in the ultimate trial?
Reward
Our hero prevails and takes possession of the object = the best treasure of all - self-awareness and growth.
Return
