San and her brothers hurried through the forest, and onto the green, bushy mountains. On the ground below them, the massive battle still raged. The humans were holding themselves well, but some demons had reached the gate and were ramming it down.
"Wait!" She called, then looked down. "There he is! The demon king!" Once she pointed to him, surrounded by many of his personal guards, the Moro tribe sped down, nimbly pouncing on rocks and boulders towards him.
She screamed a war cry, and drew her sword as the wolves leapt at him, soaring over the heads of his guards.
The demon king must have had incredible reflexes, because he was just able to dodge them. He dropped off his demon-elk, and drew his hammer. "Don't worry about the wolf girl," The demon king said. "She is mine."
"Go meet up with Ashitaka and Kariudo to help them in any way they can!" She told her brothers. San shifted into her quick fighting style, legs apart, crouched, sword at the ready.
The demon king raised that mighty hammer of his and started spinning it around. As it rapidly started to gain speed, the hammer became nothing but a blur.
San leapt at him, sword thrusting at his chest. He brought the hammer down, slamming it into the ground and the wolf girl was forced to jump back or get crushed.
She tried again and again to strike, but time and time again he attacked with that accursed hammer of his.
Soon, the demon king began to speak to her. "Afraid of me, princess of beasts? Now that your mother has gone, you feel fear in your heart."
"Shut up!" San snapped.
"You miss her, don't you? You miss the peace of the forest. Well, I can bring your mother back to life AND destroy the humans."
"Yeah! Only as a demon though!"
"No…I can entirely bring her back to life." He dropped his hammer and stretched out his hand as an offer. "Join me…And you shall have her back."
As San was about to make her decision, a wolf howled.
