DESCRIPTION:-> ![LOREFEST]([asset:wolfe_lorefest]) <-\n\n---\n\n## The Brea
 kdown:\n#### How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive?: \nWelcome back 
 to **LOREFEST**: A Voice-sponsored series of fiction competitions\, awardi
 ng First Level Crescents and bonus Clusters of Ice. Each month we'll give 
 you a new prompt\, usually relating to your characters\, their lives\, int
 erests\, what-if scenarios\, or the day-to-day within The Brotherhood.\n\n
 ---\n\nThe topic for the month of **May** is *A New Hope*. The *"first"* *
 *Star Wars** film was a tale centered around Coming of Age\, Hope\, that e
 ven in the darkest of times we can prevail against adversity\, and the cla
 ssic struggle of Good and Evil. How were these characteristics present in 
 the youth of *your* characters? Was their coming of age rough\, were they 
 well liked\, loved\, or abandoned? Did they have hope for a better future?
  Did they live plagued with despair?\n\nWrite an excerpt of their coming o
 f age\, detailing the struggles they faced\, touching on aspects of hope a
 nd despair as well as conflicts of morality. \n\n-> ![Divider]([asset:wolf
 e_divider]) <-\n\n## The Purpose:\n#### How do you write like you need it 
 to survive?:   \n**LOREFEST** is a series of prompts\, ideas\, and exposit
 ions to help flesh out characters\, express creative ideas\, and earn swee
 t\, sweet credits along the way. You'll see a mix of prompts\, old and new
 \, some even taking new life from #character-questions\, as we seek to div
 e deep\, understand your characters\, define their place in The Brotherhoo
 d\, and most importantly\, enjoy the process of writing.  \n\n-> ![Divider
