Reflections on the Writer’s Journey Book One Part 8

Approach To The Inmost Cave

Heroes begin their journey to the heart of the special world, having conquered and survived tests and challenges of the special world, and made friends and allies along the way. This is the intermediate realm, between the edge and the center of the hero’s journey. Final preparations for the central ordeal of the adventure are made. It is the final moments of laughter before the terror.

This place maybe be a city of special purpose and rules. One last set of wonder and challenges before the central ordeal. The hero might challenge the status quo, and be put in their place for having dared to enter the special world and take on the central ordeal. The hero gets into the opponent’s mind, stalking and learning.

As the inmost cave is approached, all exits are closed. There is no turning back now. The central ordeal has begun.
