Once
there was a common person that wouldn't share named Rei and was friends
with a bear named Snatcher. One day they traveled away from their home
town called Zepet. They want to travel away because they want to go to
Urkan Tapa.
Soon Rei spotted two feathers and two wolves in the area. Then, Rei
told Snatcher to kill the two wolves for food and Rei would get the
feathers. So, Snatcher killed the wolves and Rei got the feathers. Rei
kept the feathers hidden in a pocket inside his shirt.
Snatcher carried the food on his back, then Snatcher saw five wolves
and five feathers. So, Snatcher killed the wolves and Rei got the
feathers. Rei kept the feathers in his pocket. Soon they came to the
place they wanted to go. They wanted to go to Urkan Tapa and they went
to the weapon shop. Rei gave five feathers to the owner and a spear.
Then Rei went to the chief. Then the chief told Rei and Snatcher could
live in Urkan Tapa if they could get the magic mask from Nue. Rei asked
the chief , "What does the Nue look like?" The chief said, "The Nue
looks like a beast with three snakes for a tail."
Rei and Snatcher went out of the chief's house. Soon the chief came
out and said, "The Nue is helpless if you have a spear." After the
chief went in his house, Rei and Snatcher went to the weapon shop
again. Rei asked for a bear claw with a place to put in your hand.
The owner said, "Seven feathers."
Rei gave the man seven feathers. Rei got the claw and gave it to Snatcher.
Snatcher put on the claw and they left.
After a while they saw three wolves. One wolf looked odd to Rei. It
looked like a four legged beast with three snakes as a tail. It was the
Nue!
Rei told Snatcher to kill a wolf and Rei will help. Soon they got
one wolf so there was only one wolf and the Nue left. They did the same
with the other wolf. When it was dead the Nue whipped Snatcher with
each snake. When Snatcher got whipped, Rei hit the Nue with his spear.
The Nue fell to the ground. A flash of golden light came from the
Nue's body. After the light went away, the Nue turned into a mask. Rei
and Snatcher took the mask to the chief.
The chief told them to wear the mask and wait for five seconds. In
five seconds, just like the Nue, there was a golden light! They turned
into one person. The mask became the face of the Weretiger, the human
bear. He could protect and hunt at the same time.
The chief told them they were the protectors of the village.
