Mini-Monomyth by The Villain

October 31st, 2007 10:00 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Write a story based around the Monomyth. Make it as short as possible while still incorporating as many elements of the Monomyth as you can.

The adventure of the Villain:

The Villain’s story began on a Dark Night in San Franciscø with the execution of an evil deed, demonstrating his supervillain powers.

1.jpg

The Hero, culled from the flock, departed on a quest to discover a weapon of sufficient strength to defeat the Villain.

2.jpg

Left unimpeded, the Villain established his lair, then began to pick fights with other players and wreak havoc in the hero’s absence by sequestering the Sutro Tower.

This enraged the YellowBear, who bravely stepped forward to combat the Villain, but was mercilessly defeated, and only narrowly escaped the lure of evil.

Meanwhile, Rabbit departed on a quest to recover the Sutro Tower while Scarlett and the Hero attempted to rally the resistance (and mistakenly infected SFØ with the seed of villainy).

Undetected, Metatron moved to weaken the Villain’s power, but in doing so awakened the dormant seed which SFØ had ingested as “cake,” letting loose the ignoble Villain Horde!

6.jpg

While the Villain’s shadow loomed ominously over SFØ, tributes flooded in for the growing Evil.

At the height of the Villain's power, the Hero returned with her newfound weapon and, after a harrowing week of epic duelling, defeated the Villain, while YellowBear cleverly redirected the Villainous horde to execute acts of Good instead of Evil.

7b.jpg

The Villain, defeated by Goodness, confessed his faults and, seeing that he had done wrong, declared retirement from Villainous acts -- but not without planting the seed for the next generation.

The Meta-Narrative

I've been enjoying this story ever since I realized it was going on. It's been one of my favorite parts of SF0.

Every story ends.

But each previous story allows for a richer background in the future. This chapter may be finished, but this also means that the next chapter is beginning. We have all tasted the power of Villainy, as well as having seen the strength of the Heroism which fights it. I have little doubt that these will both affect us in the days to come.

I suspect the seeds planted by the Villain will not lie barren...

True, but it still means that his part in the narrative is over.
I joined because of him.
It's just distressing/saddening, that is all.

Good story.

*Sniff* The Villain is gone, but maybe we still have Dax...
