Rory Story Cubes: Heroes

Can you come up with a story with all 9 images?
Rory's Story Cubes® is a visual story generator that stimulates the imaginations of young and old alike. A non-competitive game for one or more players.

9 dice, 54 images,
10,000,000+ possibilities,
infinite stories!

There is one rule: any answer is good!

Roll all 9 narrative dice. Begin with "Once upon a time..." and tell a story connecting all 9 images. Start with the picture that most captures your imagination. You can't get this wrong! The goal is to let your imagination run wild with the Rory's Story Cubes®.
You can do it! The human brain thinks in images and always finds a way to connect the pictures on the dice. The more you play, the easier it becomes to tell longer and more elaborate stories. You can play alone or in a group, where everyone tells a story one after the other using the 9 pictures on the storytelling dice.

A fun twist: swap dice from other sets.
