[As is her usual routine, Moro is roaming through the village. The strange part, however, is that it's the middle of the day at the moment, and those wolf tracks you might see every morning appear at night.

She's showing no sign of aggression, simply roaming about... but that can't be right. Feel free to approach her and interrogate a reason for stalking the villagers out of her. Just mind her temper.]

Really? Why not?

[biteoffherhead]

Only during the coldest days of the year does it snow there. But the pool of the Forest Spirit is always clear of snow or dead leaves.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

It's usually cool in Astaria, and really cold in the mountains in winter! So It usually snows a lot.

The pool of the Forest Spirit?

[biteoffherhead]

In the middle of the forest, hidden deep within the mountains, there lies a small, shallow lake. In the center is an island, which belongs to the forest spirit. All animals who set foot on the island do so to offer their lives to the Forest Spirit.

Woow... have you ever met it?

[biteoffherhead]

I have. I'm the one born to protect him from humans and demons.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Uwaaaaah! Moro's really important!

[biteoffherhead]

Every god has an important job. Every creature has a role.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Me, too?

[biteoffherhead]

As long as you have not forgotten it, as all the other humans have.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

I won't forget! I promise.

[biteoffherhead]

Good. Perhaps at some point you will guide the humans back to their rightful place.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

I'll try really hard, Moro!

[biteoffherhead]

Good. Perhaps the "Prince Mononoke" will be more suited to leading humans back to their role.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

[ He laughs. ]

Prince Mononoke?

[biteoffherhead]

My human daughter was known to the humans as "Princess Mononoke", or princess of the spirits. Not precicely her role, but it is how she was known.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Oh... I get it, I think. Because she was your daughter, they thought she was close to spirits.

[biteoffherhead]

They saw it more as I stole her from the humans, and therefore she was stolen by spirits.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Wow...

[biteoffherhead]

But I stole nothing. I caught her human parents destroying my forest, and they threw their baby at my feet as they ran away from me.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

T-They were?!

[biteoffherhead]

They left their daughter to die. Instead of eating her, I raised her as my own.

My poor, ugly, beautiful daughter is neither human, nor wolf.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

That's sad... but Moro was really nice to do that, though.

[biteoffherhead]

I did it at first to spite the humans.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

But it's still nice for you to do. That's what the nuns did for me.
