Path of Growth

At this point of my journey I am at the crossroads. There are many paths and I can only take one. There is a path that I find the most intriguing. The path is filled with much overgrown life. I cannot see what lies several meters ahead of me, but I can see at the distance and obstacles to reach the destination of this path. The reward seems minimal for the tasks to reach it. The path is filled with weeds that require hard work to weave and cut through. Then there is a large forrest of thorny vines that contain a poison called, "Hopelessness." I need much persistence to have any chance of passing through.

After the forest, there is a large bog, which I must wade through, requiring much focus or I will be drowned. After the bog I see what looks like a giant labyrinth made with confusing twists and turns, but with patience I know I can pass. Alas after labyrinth I see a band of thieves and muggers. I know with respect, understanding, and vigilance. They will allow me or even guide me to the path I must follow.

Finally what seems like the last task, I see a knight wearing a suit of armor made from mirrors, and a sword with a mirror polish. I must defeat him so I can have him as an ally in impossible times. For I know he is the only person I can depend on if no one else will come to my aid.

Now I must decide if I dare undergo this trial.
