A New beginning

Ashitaka, an Emishi prince, has a terrible fate.

As a new born babe, his parents took him, their giant red elks and the elks' child, Yakul, to the western lands, away from their home.

When the arrived in the west, they stopped in a huge, ancient forest that looked like giant animal gods lived there... and they did.

Nago, a giant boar god, attacked Ashitaka's parents and their elks, killing them.

Nago then turned to the babe and the baby elk.

On the human, he put a curse.

It would cause him great pain, give him a great demonic strength, and a great future.

The curse would hurt, but not kill the boy, as the god had wanted.

Nago did not know much about the curse, but he knew that the curse would show all of its powers in the future.

But he did know that the forest spirit would help, and teach some of the curse's properties to the boy, Ashitaka.

Nago had heard the name with the boy's mother's final breath.

He also heard that the boy was of the east, and the prince of the Emishi people, but he would tell the Great Forest Spirit to hide the fact from the boy.

Nago gathered the boy's belongings and their elks belongings, so the child could have them in the future.

Nago knew that Ashitaka should look like one of his people because he was their last prince, and now he was dead to them.

He then took the belongings, the boy and the elk to the Great Forest Spirit.

When he got to where the Great Forest Spirit was, he said, " I killed the boy's and the elk's parents, who were in the forest without permission. I laid a curse that will hurt, but not kill, on the boy. I 'encourage' you to take care of them. They will help you in the future I just know it."

After hearing the boar god say that, the Great Forest Spirit accepted the boy and more so, the elk, as his own.

As he watched the boy, he thought, "I should keep them away from that wolf god's daughter, Moro's daughter, her human daughter, San. I need for them to stay away from each other, at least for now, but they, San and Ashitaka, are destined to be together, forever."
