You might've heard of it in English class-- the "Hero's Journey" cycle, where one person must summon their inner hero to save all of humanity... it goes something like this:

-The Ordinary World. This is where we meet the hero and identify with him or her.
-The Call to Adventure. A challenge or quest is proposed.
-Refusal of the Call. The hero initially rejects this call because of fear, hesitation, insecurity, or another reason.
-Meeting the Mentor. The mentor helps the hero gain confidence, gives insight, or advice to overcome the fears.
-Crossing the Threshold. This signifies that the hero has committed to the journey.
-Tests, Allies, Enemies. The hero needs to learn who can be trusted.
-Approach to the Innermost Cave. Preparations are needed and might include maps, and reconnaissance to enter the cave.
-The Ordeal. This is the greatest fear and most difficult challenge.
-The Road Back. This stage is comprised of the hero recommitting to complete the journey and accept the road back to the ordinary world.
-The Resurrection. This can be the most dangerous life-and-death ordeal for the hero and is the climax of the story.
-Return with the Elixir. The final reward after the hero was resurrected, purified, and has returned to the ordinary world.
