[Beeryu]

Welcome to the Moon Room.

I am Beeryu, your guide in

this sanctum. I shall ask you a

series of questions, so please

think carefully before giving

me your honest answer.

Which Moon do we need

and want most? Think of

the different shades of the

moon, and how it changes

on certain nights.

The Red Moon...?

It's a fearsome sight,

usually likened to drenching the sky with the color of blood.

The Red Moon stirs dark feelings that we shouldn't fully embrace...

The Blue Moon...?

Ah, yes. It's a calm and

gentle moon whose soft

light helps you think clearly.

It's a moon of peaceful rest...

The Gold Moon...?

Ah, that is a moon of

affluence and wealth. Now,

to aspire to attain prosperity

is natural, and to fulfill your

aspirations is life's pinnacle.

Hmm...?

Do you not have an

opinion of the Moon?

You should be confident

and tell me which shade

of the moon that you like...

Now, if the shadows

of the Moon were to

lend you their power,

to what end would you

use the power of the

Lunar cosmos?

Yes. Justice is always an

end that is worth fighting

for. Just remember that

both power and compassion

are required to enact the

truest form of justice.

Self training?

That is an acceptable

answer. However, you must

never forget your reasons

for attaining mastery of the

self, else you lose your way.

The preservation of

nature is the responsiblity

of every living human. However,

I was expecting a different

answer in terms of Taekwon

Mastery as a martial art...

Sometimes, revenge may

seem to be best course of

action, especially if it is

carried out in the interest

of justice. However, revenge

by itself is usually ignoble.

Ask yourself this:

what will you do after

you achieve your revenge?

When you let your rage burn

away at you, you inflict the

most harm to yourself...

Now, listen carefully

to the lyrics of this

song. I'm sure Daru has

sang this to you already...

''The Sun shines on even days.

The Moon gleams on odd days.

The Stars sparkle on every

fifth day without fail.''

''A desert is a Solar place,

its sands kissed by the Sun.

A marsh is a Lunar place,

its wolves driven by the Moon.

A deep cave is a Stellar place, its knights enchanted by Stars.''

According to these

lyrics, which is of

the following most

strongly evokes the

light of the moon?

Well, I've asked the

questions I wanted to set

before you. You must learn

the bond between the moonlight

with the shadows of the moon.

Then, you will become a master.

The soft moonlight

illuminates the darkest night.

The shadows of the moon balance

the Sun's glorious brightness.

Wisdom to power, coolness to

rage. Contemplate on this...

I have faith that you will soon

become a great Taekwon Master.

Now, the time has come for you

to enter the Star Room. Come,

follow me this way...

to be as patient and gentle

as the moon's soft glow.

Please think about

this seriously. A true

Taekwon Master can

display calmness of mind

in all situations, no matter

what the stakes may be.

Now, I want you to

take this chance to

practice achieving the

Lunar mindset. Be calm,

quiet your thoughts and

settle your active mind...

For now, I will send

you out into Payon. Go out

and learn the true meaning

of patience. Then, when you're

ready, please talk to Moogang

so that he can send you to me.

Hm. You must first pass

testing the Room of the Sun

before you can be tested here

in the Moon Room. Let me send

you to where you must go...

How are you still here?

The light of the full moon

brings comfort, but you must

move on if you wish to become

a Taekwon Master. Come, I shall

guide you to the Star Room.

I want you to bring me

proof that you understand

the nature of patience that

is associated with the moon.

You cannot become a Taekwon

Master without this attitude...

The proof I want you to

show me is concrete and

indisputable. Please think

about what it might be. Now,

I shall send you back to town...

Ah, you've finally

returned. I can see in

the way that you carry

yourself that your resolve

has been strengthened. Good.

I hope you now know patience...

Patience and resolve are

necessary to live life without

any regrets. You must believe

in yourself while being both

considerate and understanding

of others in cosmic harmony.

Learn to control your

power through spiritual

training. Learn how to have

pride without hubris. You're

ready for the Star Room, so

I'll send you to Cheehee now.

You should be

receiving Cheehee's

tutelage in the Star Room

now. Come, let me guide you

there. I hope to see you as

a Taekwon Master soon...

Why are you still here?

You have something much

more important to do, so

let me send you back to town...

Try not to bother the

Taekwon Boys and Girls

from completing their job

change test while you're here.

Ah, and let me know when

you want to return to Payon.

Be safe!
