My Fan Fiction

Moro and Princess Mononoke
Moro was a wolf god who had freely roamed the forests for centuries without a care in the world. Lately however her world was changing and not for the good. Humans had started destroying her world. Every day they would chop down trees and every day she would retaliate by attacking them and sometimes eating them but only if she was very hungry as humans did not really taste so good.
One day she was paid a visit from the deer god who told her that something had to be done to restore peace to the forest before it all disappeared. Moro told the deer god that there were only so many humans she could eat. The deer god said that killing humans would never save the forest and then said that all forest creatures must find common ground with the humans if the forest was to survive. Moro could hardly believe what she was hearing. As far as Moro was concerned, the blame lay solely with the humans. The deer god could see how angry Moro had become and decided now was the time to leave but he said he would be back with a gift for Moro and she had better be ready. Moro had no idea what he meant and did not care much for what he had to say, even though he was the most powerful god.
As the months went by Moro went about her daily business of attacking the greedy humans. Then one day Moro felt a change in her body. It was a change Moro was familiar with; she was about to become a mother again. Moro was excited that once again she would have a new family member that depended on her. One morning when Moro awoke she was not feeling well at all in fact she could hardly move. Moro spent that whole day lying down and then later that evening as sun faded away behind the mountains Moro began to give birth. Moro knew that it was too early for her to be bringing new life into this world. It was only a few moments later and Moro had given birth but the little wolf was lifeless and Moro was unable to save her newborn. Never before had such a thing happened to Moro and never before had she felt as sad as she did now.
A short time later the deer god appeared and he had something with him this time and the little something made a crying sound just like a human. Moro moved closer to the deer god and then she recognized the scent of human. The deer god had dared to bring a human into this neck of the woods. Moro could hardly believe it. The deer god told Moro that this human would one day help save the forest and that it was Moro’s duty to make this happen. Moro was now becoming very angry with the deer god; after all how could he even think that she would consider anything that involved a human, especially after what she had just been through. The deer god looked at Moro and then told her that if she really wanted a future for the forest, then the only path for her was to accept this human as her own and teach it the ways of the wolf, for only then would man and beast be able to come together and form an alliance to save the forest. The deer god then left the baby at Moro’s paws and disappeared.
Moro felt insulted and just wanted to leave the baby however the baby began to cry which somehow had an effect on Moro. A part of Moro could not leave this baby to die even though another part of Moro knew that the path ahead would be difficult at best. Deep down Moro knew the deer god was wise and never wrong. Hesitantly Moro picked up the baby and canned it back to her den. Moro then lay the baby human on the ground. This baby was somewhat different to the babies Moro had seen the humans carrying round. It actually had a fine coat of fur that felt like silk and its eyes were bordering on a yellowish colour, similar to that of a wolf. Moro began to wonder if this gift from the deer god was actually a god itself. The days went by and the bond between Moro and her new arrival grew stronger and stronger. Moro decided to give her the name Princess Mononoke after a great wolf god who in a time passed was worshipped by both wolf and man.
Over the years Princess Mononoke grew up to know the ways of the wolf and identified herself as only a wolf. Together Moro and Princess Mononoke were a force to be reckoned with. They would kill any human who dared to destroy any part of the forest.
One day while hunting in the forest, Moro and Princess Mononoke were paid a visit from the deer god, who told them that the time had come for Princess Mononoke to make herself known to those who lived in the realm of the humans. Moro became very upset at the prospect of losing Princess Mononoke. Their bond was so strong that it was often talked about among the other animals of the forest. Moro asked the deer god why Princess Mononoke must leave when together they can fight the humans. The deer god said that Princess Mononoke was a gift to all those who live in the forest and then said he would return in a few days and send Princess Mononoke on her journey to save all who lived within the forest.
Once again Moro’s life had been turned upside down and once again she would find herself alone again. Moro struggled with the fact that she was going to lose Princess Mononoke. One night Moro explained to Princess Mononoke that here would always be a place for her at home in the den but for now she had to follow the wishes of the deer god. Later that evening the deer god turned up with a human who he introduced as Ashitaka. Ashitaka could see the sadness in Moro’s eyes, so he went over to reassure that he would protect Princess Mononoke and make sure she returned safely from their quest to save the forest. For Moro this was a sad day but also a proud day as she had raised a daughter who would be responsible for saving the forests of this beautiful world.
