I don't own anything except my mind. This is what came out of it with the all ready made up characters from the coolest anime movie ever, Princess Mononoke. I don't own any of the characters, nothing. Don't be mean to me and sue me, thank you.
San looked up from her bed of furs. As the warmth died down from her body, a cool wind came through the small cave. San shivered. She grasped the sides of her arms and rubbed them. She wished Morro was there. She looked down at the ground as she thought of the warmth of the great white wolf caressing her small figure. She missed her mother. She missed her brothers. They had been gone for more than a fortnight, and San began to get worried. It was not like them to leave without saying why and for how long they would be gone.
She felt a tear slid down her cheek, it was so cold. San wiped the tear away quickly. She didn't cry. Wolves didn't cry. Thinking that only made more tears come. She wasn't a wolf. She figured that out a long time ago. Once she saw Ashitaka hiding behind the fallen tree at the river, she knew that she would never be the same. Why did he have to ruin everything? But then, again, he helped save the forest with her. With her? Yes, they seemed to do a lot of things together. But she still despised him for ruining her wolven ways. She punched the ground with her callused hand. Why did everything have to be so confusing?
San pricked up her ears. A wolf cry, from the west. She recognized the cry, it was her brothers! She felt her excitement rise as she ran to greet them at the edge of the cliff. San cupped her hands over her mouth and exhaled a great howl.
*Sister, we finally made it home* said one of the blue tinted brothers.
"Where have you been? I had to find bears myself for a long time, didn't have to share," said San trying to act nonchalantly, "Although it is good to see you brothers."
*We are sorry if we worried you* said the other brother, noticing the nervousness in San's voice.
"What are you talking about? I'm glad you two cubs were gone!" said San laughingly. She walked back to the cave, "Why don't you two come in here so we can talk about where you've been?"
The two wolves eyed each other and one stepped forward, *San. We had traveled far from here only for one purpose. The Wolves Gathering.*
San turned around from walking towards the cave, "What? Why didn't you take me with you? Am I not your sister?!"
*Please, San. Understand that you are…human. The others would not understand and would have eaten you in a moments notice.* said the other brother.
"I can take care of myself!" cried San.
*San, listen to what we have heard from the Gathering before you become too mad.* said the wolves.
One came close up to San, speaking almost in a whisper, *San, the Monkey Tribe have declared independence on this mountain, and are claiming it for their own. They have declared war upon us, San.*
San stepped back a few steps before she spoke, "Wh-Why?"
*With the Forest Spirit gone, they are showing their true colors.*
"No, it is not true. Not another war!" cried San. She turned and ran down the mountain side, towards the Sacred pool.
*San!* cried one of the brothers and he started to run after her.
*No, let her go. She needs to think about what is to come.* said the other wolf running in front of the brother to stop him.
The wolf nodded and they both walked into the cave.
