A quest

In a quest story a powerful character, usually asks a younger person to find something valuable, such as an animal, a ring, a crown or a magical object. 

This quest can involve a long and difficult journey. 

Having found the object, the seeker must then perform a task with it before he or she can take it home. 

Key concept: Communication

• A quest is a kind of story. Here, a storyteller communicates the story to an audience.
• The storyteller will want us ( the audience) to understand the characters involved in the quest. 
• Finally, as the quest is an adventure story, the storyteller will want us to communicate a sence of excitement to the audience.
