Mystical Artifacts and Their Keepers

Create a story where an old sage entrusts your character with a mystical artifact and sends them on a life-altering quest.

This prompt puts focus on building up the attributes of the mystical artifact and your character’s journey. Does the artifact hold tremendous power or a terrible curse? What kind of destination does the sage send your character to? What trials does your character face along the way, and how do these trials shape and transform your character into a better or a different version of themself?
