(A hero stands on a fallen tree branch with a meadow behind them - they are ready to cross into the darkness and unknown)

The Hero Cycle distills the Hero's Journey down into an easy-to-use guideline for character-driven stories. I drew this up for a post I wrote over on Azdion! A hero prepares to leave the familiar world and cross into the unknown, a major step in the Hero's Journey. Made in Inkscape 1.0 beta!
