He travels west to find a cure from the deer-like god Shishigami. Along the way, he comes across a battle raging between the animal inhabitants of a forest and an iron mining town that is exploiting it. The village has provoked the rage of the Wolf God, Moro, who attacks the village with an army of animals led by Princess Mononoke.
