"No! Don't go! You'll only hurt yourself!Please, Ashitaka!" Princess Mononoke cried. "I have to go, it's my duty. I'll be back!" Ashitaka replied. And with that, he rode off. It had been a year since the Forest Spirit 'died'. Things were going well, until Ashitaka received a telegram that told him to go back to his own village. Something big and great was stirring. He had to protect his village. But, there was a catch. He might die in the process. Follow the journey of Ashitaka and Princess Mononoke, a tale of Love, Anger, Revenge and Hate.

The story of Princess Mononoke told from San's point of view. Prologue: "In ancient times, the land lay covered in forests, where from ages long past, dwelt the spirits of the gods. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed. Those that remained were guarded by gigantic beasts who owed their allegiance to the Great Forest Spirit, for those were the days of gods and of demons." Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction. I do not own Princess Mononoke as a story or its characters. That honor belongs to Hayao Miyazaki.
