The True Heero
(I do not own Gundam Wing, or Princess Mononoke)
Prolog
San rested her head on Ashitaka's shoulder, and sighed. "The Forest Spirit will never return to a flesh form, so why come here?", she asked.
"He will, don't you feel the energy shifting, changing? It's as though the whole forest is rejoicing his arrival.", he replied, "And the deer are saying that the one bearing him would come, you'll see San, you'll see...",
It was as though he'd predicted it, for a doe stepped onto the island right then, she was laden with child, and lay, to give birth to a new life. However, the forest knew what would happen, she would die on this day, giving birth to the new hope that was the Forest Spirits full return. So all happened as it should. As soon as he was freed, though, then he fell to his shaky new legs, and shook his small head. The Forest Spirit was reborn, though a slight difference did occur, he was fully deer, save his many antlers, which were only short stumps on his head at the moment, but, his feet where the same, oddly looking things. "San, look at him.", Ashitaka spoke, hushed by the giggles of tree spirits, and songs of birds, "He's just an infant.",
So it was true, the Forest Spirit looked about himself as though seeing this place for the first time. However, it was not safe for him as he was, not so close to the new Iron Town, so, the Gods that still lived gave him a human body of his own to wear as protection. That is why San, and Ashitaka raised him, for it was foretold. He grew yes, and soon wanted to explore the human realm for himself, and so the Spirit left the protection of his forest, to see the world in all it's wonders.
