Chapter 7
The next morning Ashitaka and San arrived in the West part of the land, home to the Boar Clan. San seemed confident that the boars will help her, as they came closer to their part of the forest. Ashitaka looked around and saw a large group of boars bathing in a small lake. They were all so close, but Ashitaka rode up to San.

"San, look over there." pointing toward the lake

"You found them, let's go." she replied lowering her mask

All the boars suddenly looked up to see the wolf girl and a human companion with her coming towards them. The largest one stepped forward and the others stood behind it, but San and Ashitaka stopped. San walked toward the leader and then raised her mask to reveal her face.

"What brings you here San of the wolf pack?" the leader asked

"I've come with Prince Ashitaka to see your aid. The forest in the East is being destroyed by Lady Eboshi and Iron Town. Trees are disappearing almost every day and it must stop. Will you help me in stopping these humans?" she paused

The Boars looked at each other and squealed, then there was silence. San turned away and began to walk away, but the leader squealed. She stopped and looked back at the group.

"We will help you Wolf Girl. Though we must meet soon to plan a strategy, when will we see you again?" it asked

"Come on the next full moon, we will meet near a large mountain near Iron Town. Until then." she climbed onto her brother

She seemed so pleased that she was filling her mother's wishes. Though the curse still remained on her arm. As they left the Boars she stopped and began to sniff the air.
The pups began to growl, their hair standing on an end and Ashitaka took out his bow and loaded an arrow on the string.

"San ... listen to your heart. Please stop Iron Town from destroying the forest. San..." a voice called

"Mother! How can I? I can't do this by myself! I need you." she cried

"No, San, you can do this. You were always doubting yourself, it must stop. Trust in your heart it'll guide you to victory." it continued
