Neophyte: The Spirit Master

Neika Mantru has just turned 15 and as is custom in her clan she must go into the outside world on a spirit quest.

But Neika is also the daughter of the clan’s healer, Daru.  Thus she has been charged with an even greater task than just bonding with her spirit self.  Daru has seen in a vision that a great evil has returned to the world.  She believes that her daughter is key in stopping this Evil.  Thus Neika must follow her spirit guide out of the forest and seek out those who can help her accomplish this great task.
 
Can you Neika, manage to bond with your spirit self while facing the great peril of leaving the safety of your village?  Will you be able to discover what this ‘Great Evil’ is that your mother has dreamt about and are you the key to helping prevent its return?  Will you find any as brave as yourself to help you accomplish this task so that you may return to your forest home?
