I don't own Princess Mononoke or any of the character. I only own this story and the characters not in the movie.
A year had passed since the death of the Emishi king and queen. Ashitaka had become much stronger and wiser than any other eleven year old in his entire tribe. Kaya had also taken on more responsibility than a normal eight year old.
Ashitaka was patrolling on top of the hill. He rode bareback on Yakul. Kaya ran to her.
"Ashitaka! Ashitaka!" shouted Kaya.
Kaya stopped at Ashitaka's side. The future king looked at his sister.
"What is it Kaya? Why are you looking for me?" wondered Ashitaka.
Kaya panted and remembered what she had wanted to say to her brother.
"Hii-sama wants to speak with you. She asked me to come and find you. She says it's an emergency." told Kaya.
"I'll go see Hii-sama right away. Come with me Kaya. You can ride on Yakul with me." offered Ashitaka.
Kaya climbed back onto Yakul with help from Ashitaka. The prince looked back at his sister.
"Hold on tight this is going to be a bumpy ride." said Ashitaka.
Kaya tightly grabbed her older brother's waist and held on for dear life. Ashitaka sent Yakul into a fast run. The red elk ran through the village until he was stopped by Hii-sama's elevated hut.
Ashitaka and Kaya demounted Yakul and climbed the later into Hii-sama's hut. Hii-sama smiled as she saw the young prince and princess coming into her hut.
Ashitaka sat on the ground crossed legged. Kaya sat at her brother's side. Hii-sama smiled at the two siblings.
"You wanted to see me Hii-sama." recalled Ashitaka.
"Yes I wanted to see you young prince. I cast the stones and looked into your future. I saw a great destiny. You will become a great leader and have a queen at your side." explained Hii-sama.
Hii-sama explained her vision to Ashitaka. The young prince smiled and liked his future. Once the future had been told, Ashitaka and Kaya left Hii-sama alone. Hii-sama frowned and turned back to the stones.
"The prince only saw what the good in the future was foretold. He did not see the bad. Only time will foretell what is in future for the young prince." sighed Hii-sama.
