Hey, again. This is my story. The characters are not. The characters and world are from the movie Princess Mononoke. There, I'm sue-free now. Thanks.
It was a cold night. Ashitaka wrapped his blankets closer around him. He wasn't used to nights like these. In his own tribe, there were never cold nights. Thinking of his tribe made him open his eyes. Why did he have to remind himself of his tribe. It isn't even his tribe anymore. Once he cut his hair…he was dead. He wondered how they were doing without a prince. It had been two seasons since he left the grounds of his home. A new prince must have taken his place. Probably one of the boys in training.
Ashitaka sat up in his bed. He brought his hands to his face and rubbed his eyes. Why was he keeping himself up like this? He was going to have a terrible time trying to help Iron Town restore the barrier tomorrow.
A wolf cry, from the west. The brothers most likely.
Another, from the north. This was a new one. What kind of wolf made that howl? Then he knew, San. For a few minutes he listened as he heard the wolf calls came closer to the north, and then stopped. Ashitaka waited for a minute and then laid back down on the bed.
Shouting. Ashitaka sat back up on the bed. He could here shouting coming from the wolves' cave. Ashitaka got up from the bed and grabbed his day clothes. He put them on quickly and was nearing towards the door of his hut when he heard it. That word that he never wanted to hear for the rest of his life. War. He knew San said it. What does that mean?
Ashitaka hurled the door open and started to run towards the mountain. He knew this shouting was none of his business but the way San screamed that last word. He wanted to know what happened.
He past many trees and bushes. He was coming nearer and nearer to the cave, he could almost see it now.
A pain, rushed through the back of Ashitaka's head. He fell over and skidded a few feet before he stopped on the soft dirt. He looked up, he could only see blurs.
*Silly hu-man.* said a blur of black and gray.
Ashitaka's eyes fluttered and then all faded to black.
