  Sounds like something out of Josheph Campbell's books. THE greatest authority on the meaning and power of Myths. Unfortunately, I have many times tried to read one of his books but I never get far into them (perhaps I'm never in the right mood)

  Thank you! The Quest theme is one of the most common and fascinating in Fantasy fiction - goes all the way bact to mythology (e.g the Argosy) and legend (Arthurian Grail Quest) always a pleasure to depict it

  some people do stories as a blog post if you want to do a chapter where you post some images together with a little narrative. 50 claps gets you 1000 credits on a blog post

  True. And I recall a theory that there are only a few fundamental story forms, and all others are based upon those. But don't ask me for more of that detail
