: What are the stages of The Guardian's Journey? In constructing a story, I plan on following the following patterns: The Hero's Journey: The Hero's Journey The Villain's Quest: The Villain's Quest

In constructing a story, I plan on following the following patterns:

The Hero's Journey: The Hero's Journey

The Villain's Quest: The Villain's Quest

My question is, what would be the structure of "The Guardian's Journey"?

By guardian, I mean a character that watches over and guides the hero, and even the world.

A good example of this is Gandalf from "The Lord of the Rings", or Sider Ament from "Legends of Shannara: Bearers of the Black Staff".

I donâ€™t think there is an archetypal â€œGuardianâ€™s Journeyâ€ in the same sense that there is a Campbellian â€œHeroâ€™s Journeyâ€. Your Guardian character can be a static force in the story, or could learn from his/her experience guiding the Hero to be an even better Guardian (Gandalf), or become disillusioned about the whole Guardian role (Saruman), or... whatever works best with your main plot line.

PS: Before you invest too many brain cells in making your story comply with â€œThe Heroâ€™s Journeyâ€ archetype, you should read these cautionary words from Film Critic Hulk.
