1: A new Princess is Born

It had been 7 years since the great Shishigami was able to rest in peace, and the great forest was reborn. San, the new leader of the (what was left of) the Immortal Wolf Clan (since the wolf brothers had not been stripped of their immortality), now at age 25 gave birth to her first newborn child. A healthy little girl wrapped in her mother's fur, sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms.

"She was born under the full moon, this kind of child deserves a name worthy and special of our clan." San's older wolf brother said to her.

"True...I think..and I thought that the best name for this little one," she started and smiled when the little child opened her eyes to see her mother and gurgled. San smiled back as she let her child play with her fingers curiously.

"That we named her after our mother. Moro." San finished with a sigh of relief.

"That sounds fitting for this little one." San's other wolf brother said with a yip as the little girl laughed as she was feeling his cold, moist, nose with her small, fragile hands.

"Yes...A good choice indeed." the older brother replied.

"Then, from this day on, my child's name will be Moro. And she will grow to become the next leader of this clan, and become protector of this forest." San said and the wolf brothers howled at the birth of their future leader. And so, Moro grew to become a warrior just like her mother. She had nice short chocolate colored hair, and her eyes were a light brown color. How she reminded San of her father, Ashitaka. It had been a while since Ashitaka had come to visit her, and some days she was worried. Although, she could not blame him for such short visits since he had promised that witch Eboshi to help rebuild Iron Town. At least letters helped her, but she had to read them over and over to understand some words in his letters. Yakul helped with that, and traveled from time to time.

"Mama! Mama!" a little voice cackled in delight. It had already been 5 years after Moro's birth, and she was now a bright, bumbling 5 year-old.

"What is it, my daughter?" San asked as she looked up to see her daughter ride atop of her uncle, with the other close beside them.

"I caught a fish all by myself! It was HUGE!" she cried happily and showed her mother the size using her hands outspread.

"That's good news Moro. But tell me, where is the fish?" San asked slyly.

"Uh..." Moro started.

"She ate it on the way here, Sister." her brother said.

"Uncle! I told you not to tell!" Moro whispered.

"Hahahaha! Becoming the next leader of this pack means secrets must not be kept to one's self young pup." her other uncle chuckled. San only smiled. It had now been at least a few hours after the little incident with the fish, and Moro went off on her own to go play in the forest with the Kodama spirits. Her mother warned her to be careful, and that if she were to spot a human to run away as quickly as she could. Moro only nodded, but didn't really listen that much.

"Kodama! Come out! Let's play hide and seek!" Moro cried. As she heard many clicks and shakes, she looked and searched for her friends. There were so many, but they stayed in one place so that the new Princess wouldn't stray far. In time she had found all of them, and then she had hid, and left them to find her. She searched for a good place to hide, but the only good one she knew of was deeper from where she was allowed to go. 'Mama won't know...and it won't hurt.' she thought and hid in her favorite spot, where the once great Shishigami had been, and where her grandmother met her death. The spirits looked and looked, but had no luck in finding her. They finally went to Moro's two uncles, and they were able to pick up her scent.

"It's so peaceful here...I wonder why Mama doesn't want me to go here." Moro wondered as she peacefully swam in the lake. She suddenly heard a rustle, and then a low whisper of voices in the far distance. This made Moro alert, and she looked at her surroundings clearly with her eyes. "Wh..who's there?" the little girl asked. There was no reply, only a gust of wind. Moro looked around, but saw nothing. She was scared now, and decided that it would be better to leave as soon as possible. As she got out of the water, she took one step on the grass and heard a noise she had never heard before. It was a booming noise, and it scared her. It was loud, and she wondered where it came from. Soon enough she heard more powerful bangs, and loud pigs squeal. 'Those are...those squeals are from the boar tribe!' Moro thought, and ran to that direction, using her quick speed her mother had taught her. As she ran to the spot quickly, she looked over through the trees curiously, staying as silent as possible. Her eyes went wide in fear of what she saw next, and it made her sick to her stomach.

"All right. Fire!" a woman cried around the age of 32. She was missing her right arm. More shots rang out, and Moro could see in the distance the boars running toward them. 'No..she's killing them!' Moro thought and her eyes flickered to pure yellow. Boars squealed in pain as one by one they went down. Moro felt so cold, and she couldn't bear to watch anymore. Though, she looked down to see a little boy standing next to the woman. He seemed to be her age, with nice, short black hair. Moro heard the woman say to the boy, "Did you see that Enishi? Those wild, savage beasts were taken down by mommy's rifles. One day you will wield one of them and take down all of these savage beasts on your own." The boy nodded silently, but a smile did appear on his face. Finally when the gunshots had stopped, and the people had left, Moro went down to the scene and walked up to all the boars who had been killed. She then fell on her knees in front of one of them, and sobbed.

"She was here. She was not allowed to come to this place." the other brother said.

"Yes. She was here. But now she is somewhere else. Somewhere with the scent of boar's blood and human blood." the younger one replied and they ran to where their niece was.

Moro cried and cried, and couldn't believe someone could do this. "Why Mama?...Why are humans so cruel? What have we ever done to them?..." Moro asked herself and whimpered. Suddenly she heard a boar squeal silently, and she ran over to it. It was a younger one, and it looked at her with tired eyes.

"What are you doing here girl?" it asked her. She did not answer the boar and cried.

"I'm sorry that they did this to you and your clan! Why do humans have to be this way?" Moro sobbed.

"Humans..they are wretched creatures...They only live..to kill us! Stay away from humans girl, if you know what's good for you...You are the daughter of the wolf leader so I have no fear in your presence..." it replied and snorted, breathing slowly. Moro only cried more and more, and then gasped when the boar finally passed away. She ran up to it and sobbed in it's blood red fur.

"There she is." the older brother said as the two ran up to her. Moro was covered in the boar's blood, her arms covered her face as she held her legs closely to her chest.

"Moro. Why did you come here?" her uncle asked her. There was no answer.

"Answer us. Why are you here? What happened? Why did you disobey your mother?" her other uncle asked.

"Why do humans kill us?...Do they take pleasure in it?" Moro asked, not even moving up to look at them. She was too ashamed to even have human blood in her.

". . .Humans are terrible creatures...only two can be trusted. That would be your mother and father. Come. Let's clean you up so your mother does not know." her older uncle said and she climbed on top of them, and they rode to clean her up. Hopefully, this battle would not scar Moro for life...

In Iron Town, it was finally a bustling town once again. Full of life, the women were still as cheerful as they were. Toki had given birth to twins, a girl and boy. The girl had light brown hair that went down to her neck, while the boy had nice dark brown hair with some spikes sticking up. Her husband happy as ever, although, he got in trouble a lot with her. Eboshi of course had a son, and he was growing up to learn to kill the animals of the forest, only if they tried to hurt them.

"Ma'am? I was hoping if you would be able to um, babysit my kids for a little while. I need to go out in the fields to pick some lovely flowers I found." Toki said.

"Of course Toki. I'm sure Enishi will enjoy the company, isnt' that right?" Eboshi asked.

"Mm-hm. I will gladly like to play with Ares and Aoshi." Enishi replied with a smile.

"Thank you so much Lady Eboshi! I'll be sure to pick some for you too as a gift of thanks." Toki said, bowed, and left. As the three children then went off to play in the town, a young man around 25 came out into view.

"Eboshi, I thought we established that there would be no more bloodshed." he said to her.

"Come now Ashitaka. You didn't really think I'd agree to that? I mean, there will only be bloodshed if those creatures ever try to hurt us. Besides, they are only boars. Meat for our people." Eboshi replied and sipped her tea. As she was finished, she was able to get out her sword.

"Now then, it's time for training. I still haven't quite mastered my sword skills with my left arm, so I'm hoping you will be my partner." Eboshi said and the two faught a hard core battle.

"Say Enishi-sama, do you think you're gonna become a great fighter like your mom?" Ares asked.

"Yeah! I won't be as good as her though. She'd be better though if those mean wolves didn't bite her arm off. I hate those beasts for doing that to mother." Enishi replied.

"We're sorry that that happened to Lady Eboshi, Enishi." Aoshi said to him and patted him on the back.

"Thanks Aoshi." Enishi replied with a smile.

"You went where!" San cried.

"I'm sorry, Mama..." Moro said silently. San only sighed, disappointment in her voice.

"And why weren't you with her?" she asked her brothers, and they only backed away slightly. Moro looked at the ground, and then sadly back to her angered mother. What would she say to her now? Nothing really, night was soon coming. She looked at her mother who only sighed.

"It's getting late. It's time to get some sleep my daughter." San said to her and Moro only sighed in relief. As they entered the cave, the two wolves cuddled up, and San kissed her daughter on the forehead.

"Goodnight." San said to her as Moro cuddled up and pressed against her uncle's fur.

"G'night Mama.." Moro replied and fell quietly asleep right after. San only smiled, and took out her fur and placed it gently over her daughter.

"Get some sleep as well Sister. You need to be at your full strength." her older brother said to her.

"Yes. If we are to ever settle the score with that bi--woman, we need you to be at your fullest." the younger one replied silently as he tried not to wake up Moro.

"Yes. Don't worry I will." San replied and left the den quietly, and jumped up to the top of the den as she looked out and listened, using all of her senses. Soon, San too went to sleep, and slept beside her daughter.

After Eboshi and Ashitaka had trained for a while, Yakul called to Ashitaka, and he knew it was time to pay a visit to his wife. He bowed to Eboshi, and excused himself from her presence.

"Wait, Ashitaka. I must know, are you...married to that woman?" Eboshi asked.

"I guess I am my Lady." he replied.

"I see. I just want you to know though, that you've been like a father to Enishi, and I thank you for that. When you're done with your visit, you're always welcome back. The door will be open." Eboshi said to him and then waved her hand in good-bye.

"Yakul, let's hurry and visit San. It's been a while. I wonder how she is doing." Ashitaka said to his elk. Yakul whinnied slightly, and the two headed out to San's place. It would at least take them the next day to reach her.

The next day was training day. But Moro wasn't focused enough. She kept punching and kicking wildly, every one missing.

"What's wrong Moro?" San asked. Moro only sighed and wondered. Would she ask about her father? She had never met him. She only knew he was a human, and she remembered what the boar had said to her yesterday.

"Mama?..." Moro asked, uncertain.

"What is it?" San asked.

"I've never met daddy before...what's he like?" Moro asked. San was taken aback by this, and wondered what to say to her child. She never dreamed this day would come until a long time in the future.

"Your father, is a brave man. He's handsome, strong, and has a kind heart. He's the only acception to all the other humans. He is one who seeks peace and not war." San explained.

"Am I ever going to meet daddy?" Moro asked.

"Soon my child, very soon." San replied and embraced her daughter in a tight hug. It soon ended, and Moro wanted to ask so many more questions, but she thought she would just stay silent. After all, she was very young and asking questions like that wasn't really what 5 year-olds would ask. She thought she would ask her mother when she was old enough. But she wanted to know, it killed her inside that she didn't know the reason for everything she wondered about. How she questioned so many things now after seeing it with her own eyes.

"Now, let's get back to training." San said and the two began their fight once again. Soon enough, Moro was back in the game, and gave everything she had.

"That's it Moro. Come at me with everything you've got. Don't worry if you hurt me I can always be healed at the lake that you went to." San said to her.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Moro cried and flew her little fists at San who blocked every one of them.

"Hello?" a voice called. San stopped and was punched in the cheek by Moro who only gasped.

"Mama! Mama are you okay? I'm sorry!" Moro cried.

"It's okay I was only caught off guard. You have a nice arm there." San chuckled. "Ready to meet your father?" she added as she knelt down to Moro. She only nodded slightly, and San replied, "Ashitaka!" At this her two brothers ran up to San, as they waited to see Ashitaka. Soon enough, the four could see an elk, and then dark brown hair belonging to Ashitaka. Ashitaka smiled when he saw San, but then wondered if the little girl beside her was his very own daughter.

"San." Ashitaka said.

"Ashitaka." San said expectantly.

"It's...been a while. I'm sorry I haven't visited you in a while." Ashitaka said. The two stared at eachother for a while, and then Ashitaka took a step closer and pressed his lips against hers for a nice greeting. Moro looked at this curiously, and wondered what this had to do with a greeting. Normally she would only bow to the Kodamas and the other animals in the forest that she had met. As the two finally ceased their neverending kiss, Ashitaka looked at Moro who instinctively hid behind her uncles, pressing against their fur to try and fade into them and not be seen. The wolf brothers only chuckled at this.

"Is that...my--our daughter?" Ashitaka asked. San blushed and nodded as she signaled Moro to come closer. Moro was nuzzled by her uncles as they pushed her forward. She looked at her father uncertain, but then big bubbles of tears burst, and she cried, "Daddy!" and was caught in Ashitaka's arms. As Ashitaka spun his daughter lovingly in the air, she laughed with glee and then smiled.

"She's...beautiful. What's your name daughter of ours?" Ashitaka asked.

"Moro!" she said with a laugh.

"Moro. What a lovely name your mother chose for you. I'm sorry that I've only met you once." Ashitaka apologized.

"It's okay! As long as...as long as I've met you once I'll never forget you daddy." Moro replied and smiled with joy.

"Didn't I tell you your father was kind Moro?" San asked. Moro nodded in agreement. As she finally went to play with the Kodama spirits, her uncles followed close behind, leaving Ashitaka and San to talk about private matters.
