I have reached a scene of my graphic novel series in which the main characters are given a choice. Either they accept their destiny as the new heroes of the known universe or they stand aside and let the interstellar government suffer the wrath of evil. Because of their various backgrounds, the main characters never expected to be anyone special so accepting this new role will be a serious struggle for them. Imagine if you were an average person and then one day someone thrusts the role of hero upon you. What would you do in that situation? It is going to provide a considerable amount of emotional conflict that will set the stage for the team’s journey.

You’re right, the role of hero would be a heavy burden to bear, especially to someone who’s never known or been prepared for this in life. But then again, who is?
Ahhh, yes; that old conundrum: “Some men are born to be great and some have greatness thrust upon them…” or however the saying goes. Same difference, though, oxymoron that it is!
Looking forward to their decisions😀
