Adventures calling, do you accept the charges?

Step 2 - The call to adventure.

Vogler describes this as "the hero being presented with a problem, challenge or adventure to undertake."

He goes on to list examples from all genres of movies, from science fiction to romantic comedies. I think this stage would be best summed up as 'something happens.' This 'something' happening causes other things to happen.

My something is Emily seeing a fairy. She follows it and witnesses/experiences a bit of fairy life. Not sure what that would constitute yet, apart from a disdain for gnomes. I don't really know much about fairies, be they from fiction or history (specifically the Chalcolithic age).

Anyone got any idea what faeries are like?
