This is just a test, if you like it enough, I will write the rest of it.
Someone was crying. It was a soft sound, but it carried a deep soul wrenching pain. Yakkul blinked as he awoke. The fire had gone out sometime in the night and a light frost covered the ground. He looked for Ashitaka.
The boy was curled up against him for warmth, his rain cloak covering them. He was tucked into a ball weeping into his arms.
Don't cry. Yakkul nuzzled Ashitaka's head, snuffling a little. I'm here.
"Yakkul…?" Ashitaka lifted his tear-streaked face and smiled. Yakkul looked back. "It's morning." Ashitaka sat up and shivered a little. "There's only a few more days until there will be snow." Ashitaka stood, stretching out cramped muscles.
Yakkul stood and waited patiently as Ashitaka packed up the camp and tied the bags on. Ashitaka reached into the food bag and held out a handful of the grains. Yakkul finished the grains and Ashitaka reached in for more. When Yakkul had had his fill, Ashitaka finished off the rest. "You'll have to live off grass until we come to another town." Ashitaka mounted and they were off.
As the morning progressed, it didn't get any warmer. The sun was hidden by a blanket of dark clouds and a chill wind blew across the valley, coming down from the white-capped mountains. Ashitaka took out his rain cloak and put it on. "Yakkul, we're going to have a storm today. Better find a good road soon." Ashitaka and Yakkul had lost the road the previous day and were now lost. But it didn't matter. Neither of them could go home. Ashitaka was dead to his tribe, and Yakkul didn't want to leave Ashitaka.
Ashitaka stared out at the bleak valley, letting his thoughts drift. San…Eboshi. I wonder what you're doing now. I hope you've learned your lesson. San and the rest of them will perish along with the forest if you haven't. Don't you see that you're destroying the balance by doing what you're doing? Ashitaka wiped away the tears that spilled down his cheeks. Another blast of air hit them. Ashitaka raised his face veil.
"We're going to be hit by that storm soon." Ashitaka looked up. He expected the snow would fall in an hour at the most.
I know. I'm going into the forest again. Yakkul turned off the path he'd found and plunged into the forest. He traveled quickly, with Ashitaka hanging on until the snow began to fall.
