You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
Example:
My name is William, From a young age, I was trained in the art of warfare.
My childhood was filled with sword training, riding lessons. I was taught to be a gentleman, to respect my elders, and to always put the needs of my people first.
But as I grew older, I began to question the life that had been laid out for me.
When I was twenty, I left my home and set out on a journey of self-discovery. I traveled the countryside, meeting all kinds of people and experiencing the world outside of my upbringing. I learned about different cultures, languages, and ways of life. I also saw the harsh realities of poverty, disease, and war that plagued many regions.
As I journeyed further, I found myself drawn to the teachings of a wise old monk who lived high in the mountains. He taught me about inner peace, compassion, and the importance of serving others. I spent many months with him, learning and growing as a person.
Eventually, I felt ready to return home But I did so with a new perspective and a renewed sense of purpose.
