Choose Learning Topic

Write a game quest:
You are Alexander the Great, I know, it is pretty cool. You are currently 12 years old. Why? This is when your adventures and life started. Just so you remember, Philonicus, the Thessalian, brought a horse, Bucephalus, to your king and father, Philip. He was offering to sell him for 13 talents, which was used by the Romans and the Greeks, meaning a former weight and unit of currency. Now you are seeing that no one is able to ride the horse because it's so vicious and aggressive. When your father is about to take him away, you stand up and say,"What an excellent horse do they lose for want of address and boldness to manage him!" All of the crowd is looking at you and no one thinks that you are able to ride it, so why even try? Now this is what you have to do: the crowd, and even your father, don't believe that you will be able to ride the horse, right? Are you going to listen to them? No, you will have to avoid all of them people to be able to win Bucephalus. When you are able to avoid all of them, you will win Bucephalus. Obviously, Bucephalus will be in your hands because it is destiny that him and you are together.

Now, that is one thing that you will have to accomplish, is there something else, Alexander? Well, your father, Philip, wants you to get a good education. Because you need the studies, Philip has announced Aristotle as one of your tutors. I mean, you might not be interested in philosophy, but that is one thing that Aristotle teaches. Not only that, but medicine, morals, religion, logic, and art. So, what do you need to do, Alexander? What do you need to do in order to have a good education? It's obvious that you will have to pay attention, but will you not get distracted? It's obvious that you like to know about combats, especially when you are 12-13 years old. To not disappoint your father and yourself, which is important, you will have to avoid distractions. Come on, you are Alexander the Great. Avoid at all costs thinking of something that is not studying. For example, your father has told you to not make the same mistakes as he did once. You will have to avoid women, swords, and other weapons. If you avoid these kind of distractions, not only will you make your father's/mother and Aristotle's heart, you will find inner peace in yourself because you have learned so much.

Well, anyways, you have had so many adventures in your life, that these missions are the beginning of your life...I wish you the best of luck, but remember, try really hard on following your destiny and doing the right thing. 

Remember: YOU ARE ALEXANDER THE GREAT!
