The children of darkness...what messes we make.
~The Road Back~ -The hero isn't out of the woods yet. The hero is pursued by vengeful forces. If the hero hasn't managed to reconcile with his father or gods ect. they may come raging after him..
~Resurrection~ -The hero emerges from the special world, transformed by his/her experience.
~Return with the Elixir~ -The hero comes back to the ordinary world, but this would be meaningless unless he/she brought back the elixir..
-The mentor is a character who aids or trains the hero. The essence of the mentor is the wise old man or woman. The mentor represents the wiser and more godlike qualities within us.
-The role of the herald is to announce the challenge which begins the hero on his/her journey.
-The shapeshifter changes roles or personalities, often in significant ways and is hard to understand.
-The shadow is a negative figure and is usually the antagonist. -Not all antagonist are villains, sometimes he's a good guy who's goals disagree with the hero's.
~The Return~ -Having survived death, the hero takes possession of the treasure he/she came to seek..
