Arjuna travels to the Himalaya Mountains to fast and pray. There he slowly weans himself off of food. One day when he is praying he is charged by a wild boar and hits it with an arrow. An arrow from a huntsman also hits the boar at the same time. They argue over whom the boar belongs to and begin to fire arrows at each other for it. After Arjuna runs out of arrows he suggests wrestling and attacks the huntsman who puts his hand on Arjuna’s heart. He turns out to be Shiva who was just testing Arjuna. He was pleased with Arrjuna and gave him the divine bow. It seems like I remember hearing about native americans going on similar adventures called vision quests where they too fast. I think they get so hungry that they get delusional and start to see things. It would be fun to turn this story into more of a vision quest for Arjuna and get creative with it. There are endless possibilities for that.
Duryodhana and Arjuna both seek to find Krishna in order to secure his alliance. Duryodhana arrives at him first, but Krishna is sleeping. Then Arjuna reaches him and Krishna wakes to see Arjuna first. He agrees to help both, but lets the younger of the two (Arjuna) pick whether to have his army or his own company. Arjuna rquests the company of Krishna and Duryodhana rejoices. It could be fun to explore different reasons as to why Arjuna made his decision and how this effects the outcome of the war later on.
