Each hero who goes on a journey experiences a call to adventure. This is the time when the herald approaches the hero and offers him or her an opportunity to leave the comfort and safety of his or her ordinary world and embark on an adventure into a new, unknown and challenging world: the special world. After the call to adventure comes, the hero has to make a decision, to refuse the call and return to his or her ordinary world, or seek out a mentor and cross the threshold into the special world.
