Lovers Quest and Bear and the Tiger

Lovers Quest
written by LadyErin

One cool summer's night, two lovers lay at rest amidst the bright Mythic blossoms. As the stars glimmered and shined upon them, the couple hugged close within each other's arms. Peaceful serenity was then shattered, a storm began to approach. Frowning at the misfortune, the young warrior and poet stood to find shelter from the rain. Seeking out someplace to wait, a loud crash of thunder struck before them. Unknown to those fleeing for shelter around them, the thunder paused in the air, writing as a fiery white snake. It grinned at the bewildered lovers maliciously, weaving and shimmering in the air. Stiffened with both fear and wonder, the two watched the godly beast writhe and sway. The young girl reached out, and the snake coaxingly smiled. Being told to touch, without her realizing, being forced to reach without her mind's consent, the poet stretched out her hand. The snake squinted its fiery eyes at her, the lashed out, gripping her hand tightly. The incredible pain of the fire wrapped around her arm tore her away from the hypnotic state. Crying out for her Love to save her, she knew it was hopeless... desperately trying to release the healing energy from her charred, dying hands, she was then engulfed by the deceitful snake. Blinking, the young warrior awoke from the trance, desperately crying for her to return. As he gazed at the spot where she lay, only fragments of a broken rose he'd given her remained.

Bring forth a Fine snake meat, to comfort the warrior's mind in knowing that one powerful snake may be gone, if not the one whom murdered his wife..

Bear and the Tiger
written by Lukarius

<Excerpt Bear History> "One day a tiger and a bear that lived in the same cave came to Hwanung to ask him to transform them into humans. Hwanung gave them each a piece of mugwort and 20 cloves of garlic. He instructed them to swallow these and shun the light of the sun for 100 days. The tiger faltered and went into the sun. The bear endured for 37 days of the 100 and was transformed into a human" <End Excerpt Bear History>.

As the excerpt above shows the Bear has always been mightier than the Tiger to prove this to yourself and to honor the memory of the orginal Bear complete the following;

Part 1(50 bear pts)
Prove to yourself and everyone else, that the Bear is still stronger than the Tiger. Go to the Iron Panda/Tiger cave in the wilderness and collect 20 tiger's hearts from the tigers inside.

Part 2(1 event pt, 50 bear pts)
After you have completed that, go to Gim-yi's room, and prove that the Bear is stronger by bringing me his Iron statue.

Part 3(1 event pt, 250 bear pts)
When you are finished with that, go to the Mythic tiger cave, and take 10 tiger pelts from the tigers inside and present them to me.

Part 4(1 event pt, 500 bear pts)
After you have slain the mythic tigers, seek their master and give me his purified water (Or Baekho key, whichever you encounter first), to prove we are still stronger than the tiger.

NOTE: Anyone caught buying the items in question will lose double the point value of that portion of the quest.
