Born a Monster

"What do I want?" I asked myself, "And why?"

I looked up to the waxing moon.  At the very least, since I was up, I might as well refill my mana.

A nature spirit in the form of a leaf laughed at me.  <That's the moon, silly.  She can't hear you from way up there.>

She set herself down on a root.  <Do something else silly.>

<Okay, I'm going to sit down and try to figure out at least the next three steps I'm going to take in my life.>

<Boring.  Bye.>  She flitted off against the gentle breeze.

So, what DID I want to do?  It wasn't just these quests before me.  Those tasks… okay, I had asked for tasks like these.  Why?

What would these tasks reward that I wanted?  Did I want the rewards, or something else?

It hadn't just been a desire to look at a newly revealed feature of my System, was it?
