A few days had passed already as you sat until a waterfall in an attempt to quell the growing mark on your arm. You had come across a few characters in journey, one providing invaluable information leading you to the village of iron. While mediating, you were alerted by the yells of your fellow man, quickly dressing, you mounted your steed to follow the sound.

When you arrived, there were no signs of life, until you spotted two men floating in the river. Once you knew they were alive you patched them up before bringing them along on your journey to the village of iron. Leaving the river, you started on your track through the forest, watching the spirits frolic as you climbed until the man on your back woke up. He was frantic and warned you about the god of bears, Bepo, and Prince Mononoke who had attacked their caravan. Listening to him, you figured this prince would be your best lead to the forest spirit you were in search of.

It didn’t take long for your paths to cross, as you emerged from the forest you spotted a masked man covered in heart tattoos tending to the large white boar. For some unexplained reason you were infatuated when the man lifted his mask.
