I don't own Princess Mononoke, or any of its characters. I only own this story, and the characters not in the movie.
San got ready for the day. This was a very special day for San; it was the day of her first hunting lesson. Moro had said that San (now four) was old enough to hunt.
San looked through the pill of clothes her parents had collected for her. San reluctantly put on a torn brown dress. She had gotten use to wearing clothes; she just didn't like it very much. San tied back her hair before leaving the den.
Moro stood on the den ledge, waiting for San.
"Good you're here. I have something for you." said Moro.
Moro gave San a dagger and spear. San looked at the dagger and spear closely.
The dagger had a white blade, with two red triangles near the tip. The spear head also was white with two red triangles near the end.
"Thank you, mother." thanked San.
"Think nothing of it. You need something to defend yourself with. Now let's get on with your lesson." insisted Moro.
Mother and daughter walked to the bottom of the hill. Feng and Xin were waiting for them. San climbed onto Feng's back. Xin fallowed after his brother.
Moro led the hunt. The wolf god chased a young female deer, to her waiting children.
Suddenly Feng and Xin jumped on either side of the deer. The wolf brothers snapped at the deer's legs, trying to trip it. San stabbed the deer in the back, with her spear and dagger.
Finally Moro ended the hunt, with one final blow to the deer's throat. The wolf god dropped the limp body of her prey.
"That was good. Feng and Xin, you both did well. You also did well, San, for your first hunt. But you still have a lot to learn. Come it is nearly nightfall. We must return to the den. Your father will wonder what has become of us." snapped Moro.
Moro walked in the direction of home. Feng (still with San on his back) fallowed his mother. Xin dragged the deer home.
Ookami was proud that his daughter was now able to hunt. The wolf gods dug into their meal. They ate until they were so full, they all fell asleep.
This chapter isn't that exiting, but it will change soon. In the next chapter, Feng, Xin, and San, meet the Forest Spirit. Comment if you like the story.
