Chapter 2
That night Ashitaka and San slept in the Emishi village. Many of the villagers seemed uneasy about having the "wolf girl" in their village. After all they heard about her, from story to story, no one could believe it.
San woke up and went outside into the village. She looked up at the moon, but then saw the pups coming over to her. One of them held her mask and the other held her fur cape. As she bent down she smiled and took them gracefully, and they barked.
"What are you going to do San?" one asked
"I'm not sure, but we must stop Lady Eboshi from harming the forest. She must be cutting down more trees that the Ape Clan planted. I could only imagine how much anger in building up in them." She paused.
Her arm began to swell up and she held it breathing quickly. She groaned and began to sweat as worms began to form around her arm, wiggling around. Suddenly it disappeared and she sighed. The pups growled but, San nodded that she was ok.
"Why would you be cursed?" the pup asked
"I'm not sure, there were still many problems not yet resolved and I'm still angry about the new Iron Town." San replied
"Are you going to tell him?" the other pup asked
"No, he must not know about this. putting her fur cape on over her arm.
She turned and went back into Ashitaka's hut and fell asleep beside him. Suddenly a loud lump was hear which shook the entire village. Ashitaka woke up to see San looking out the door.
"It's the Ape Clan. I must speak with them." San began
As the climbed down the latter Ashitaka followed her down the latter. Both ran up to the large group of apes which were being blocked to the entrance of the village by the pups.
San came up in a huff and her brothers got quiet.
"You wolf girl. Forest is being torn up by humans. Now we must destroy all humans." One Ape stepped forward.
"Yes, I know. Though I have asked Ashitaka to help me stop the other humans from tarring up the trees. You have my word that this will stop." San replied
"We destroy wolf girl if forest not back to way it was before. Then we destroy all humans." It cried as they left.
San put on her mask and jumped on one of the pups. Ashitaka got on the other as they rode out of the village.
"Where are we going?" Ashitaka shouted
"To find Iron Town." San yelled back.
