Start of an adventure

12 years later

Ashitaka collapsed, tired from the days work. He had loved that Father had given Yakul the ability to speak, and that he had taught Ashitaka how to speak to every thing in the forest. He was so tired from looking for food all day, but more specifically, meat. After he went to collect the meat, Ashitaka lay on his back, listening to the forest. And then he heard it, the sound of a wolf stalking prey. Then he saw the wolf. It was one of Moro's twin pups, Konmo, the elder twin brother of his younger brother, Hato. After Ashitaka wondered why Konmo was in the area of the forest spirit, he left him alone to find whatever he was searching for. When he tried to lay on his back again, that's when it happened. The pain in his arm that came every once in a while. The Great Forest Spirit would not cure him of this excruciating pain, and the only thing that he told Ashitaka was that it would not kill him and that it was a demon's curse except that it came from a god. This pain, this pain that hurts him so, got him pity from the forest and its creatures, stopped him from working and sometimes hurt himself.

"Why do I have this damned curse, and why does it have to hurt me so?" Ashitaka asked himself. "Why?" "I hate this curse so much." Ashitaka wept.

Then, the pain stopped, just as fast as it had come. Ashitaka laid down on his back again and stared at his arm. He saw that the curse had spread up his arm, again.

He thought, "The only thing this seems to be good so is its demon strength."

"Well, I should be getting back to Father by now." he said, trying to forget what happened.

"I have to look strong, for I'm the son of the Great Forest Spirit, the prince of the forest, and carrier of the demon's curse. I, am Ashitaka!"

After Ashitaka said that, Yakul came out from where he was watching, where he saw everything that happened.

"There you are Yakul, I was just going to call to, let's head home." said Ashitaka.

After they were on their way Ashitaka feel asleep after saying, "Yakul, even though you can talk, you don't speak much, you know?"

After Ashitaka feel asleep, Yakul answered by saying, " I don't speak much because I have nothing to say, friend.

(Later that night)

"Father, my curse activated again today, when I was collecting food." said Ashitaka after eating some of the food on the ground.

" Well that is never good, I wonder what could have triggered it." said the Forest Spirit absentmindedly.

"Well, I did see Konmo hunting near where I was today," said Ashitaka quietly.

"WHAT?" said the Forest Spirit in an angrier tone. "Moro should know what I said, the wolf clan is not allowed inside our territory for the time being without permission!"

"But why Father?" said Ashitaka in such a calm tone that the Great Forest Spirit calmed down, somewhat.

"Ashitaka is such a natural peacemaker," thought the Forest Spirit, as he thought of what to do next. "Ashitaka!" said the Great Forest Spirit in a commanding tone.

"Yes Father?" said Ashitaka, surprised at his fathers tone of voice.

"How would you like to be a god?" said the Great Forest Spirit quietly, almost as silent as the whisper of the forest in the darkest of nights. As he said that, Ashitaka knew that he was dead serious.

"I would like it very much, but I don't think that I'm ready yet." said Ashitaka carefully.

"Good, that means you're ready." Said the Forest Spirit happily, then thought, " I have already made San, the wolf girl, a god, a wolf god to be exact. I think Ashitaka is ready to take the responsibility of a god."

The next day

"Are you ready? asked the Forest Spirit.

"Yes, Father." said Ashitaka

"Now son, it may hurt a little, but if you can do this, you will become a god and guardian of the forest, understand?" said the Forest Spirit.

"I understand, please begin." said Ashitaka mindlessly.

" He is thinking of something other than becoming a god," thought the Forest Spirit. "What kind of god do you wish to be son?" asked the Forest Spirit.

"An elk and deer god, Father."

"Alright, let us begin, you will fall asleep, when that happens the gods of old will appear and give you a power. The gods of old gave me the power of life and death. After they give you your power, you will feel great pain. We are starting now, Ashitaka."

"Alright." said Ashitaka, nervously.

And with that Ashitaka fell to the ground, incapacitated.

"Where am I?" thought Ashitaka.

"Ah a new god has come to us looking for power, am I right, young one? Said an old, female fox god.

"Y-Yes, I am looking for a power to call mine." said Ashitaka quietly.

"Look up boy, and tell me your name and father." said a grumpy male crow god.

"M-My name is Ashitaka, and my father is the Great Forest Spirit." Said Ashitaka, nervous.

"Well boy you look strong, and have a strong father as well. It also seems you have a power already, even if it's the power of a demon." said the crow, seemingly to be cracking up.

" Well you want a power boy, I know the perfect one for you." said the fox, smiling.

"What might it be? asked Ashitaka, curious.

"Well then, you would like to know right, I think I know the perfect power for you as well." said the crow growing serious again.

"Well what is it, can you please tell me?" asked Ashitaka, almost pleading.

The two gods of old stared at each other for a minute, and then said in unison,"The power of healing and immortality."

"So, does that mean I have to power to heal other and myself, and will live forever?"

"Somewhat, yes. You will have the power to heal faster, and heal other and yourself." said the fox seemingly happy.

"And yes, it does mean you will live forever but it also means that you can make and living god immortal. The only way an immortal will die is from becoming a demon and dieing as a demon." said the crow, becoming grumpy again.

"Thank you, so very much for this power gods of old." said Ashitaka, happy with this new found power.

Then he woke up, only to almost fall back into unconsciousness from the blinding pain that had come after awaking. Somewhere outside of the pain, Ashitaka heard, "Ashitaka, if you don't try to fight the pain you will die from all the power that is going into you from becoming a god, you want to live right?"

After Ashitaka heard his fathers voiced he found a new found strength and fought the pain with all his might, but he screamed from the pain and the whole forest started to shake from his scream, although the only one who seemed to hear him was the new wolf god, who had watched him ever since he was little, even though Moro who forbade her from finding him, and watching him. Now, she watched the forest shake from Ashitaka's screams of pain, and the wolf girl, the newest wolf god, is known as, San.

A/N) Ha Ha! How the end? So if you like it, review it! Or just tell me.

Just saying, at school I'm known for doing a project for a very, very long time.

More reviews= shorter posting time and longer length of story
