Although I'd lost a daughter that day, I had also gained one. In the years to follow, San grew into an amazing girl. She was as much a wolf as any of us once you looked beyond her physical limitations. Despite her frail body, she proved to be an intelligent and skilled fighters.

Over fifteen years have past since the day I found San. I am dying now. My spirit is leaving my body and will soon join that of the dead Night Walker. I finally took my revenge on that damned Lady Eboshi. Although I may never know if my mark was fatal, I am certain she will never fire one of her fucking rifles again.

It won't be long until my soul frees itself from this battered body. I recall the life I led, perhaps I was wrong to use violence to deal with the human plague. But it is too late for regrets now.

I can rest in peace knowing San is in the hands of Ashitaka. The cursed man who came riding in on his strange elk loved my daughter more than her parents ever had. His unwillingness to side with neither the forest gods nor Lady Eboshi's Iron Town caused me to question him, but in the end his neutrality will save us all from each other. Through admiring Ashitaka and the pride in my free willed I find the strength to withstand becoming a demon. I am grateful to Ashitaka, and daughter. Mononoke-hime, the forest princess.
