Scene 1

FUWARI:

Chihiro-Kun this forest seems safe so maybe we should try and enter. It seems like no one will find us here.

CHIHIRO:

You are right! I don't think anyone will come here any time soon. Let's build ourselves a shelter using the forest's wood, then let's go hunt for some food.

FUWARI[Cries]:

Chihiro-kun we can't go hunting, I don't want to see any more blood, killing is horrible, and we may get hurt if the animals we are going to hunt are stronger than us.

CHIHIRO[Sighs]:

It's alright Fuwari-san I know how to hunt, so I can go alone. If you are scared you could stay in the shelter we are going to build, it is necessary for me to hunt for us to be able to eat and stay strong to survive.

[Both finish building the shelter and now Chihiro is about to go find food in the forest.]

CHIHIRO:

Stay here Fuwari-san I won't be gone for long. Don't get out of the shelter, so that you can be safe from other predators, okay?

FUWARI:

Alright, be safe Chihiro. I'll be waiting.

CHIHIRO[Leaves Fuwari and goes hunting]:

There is not much in this forest. It seems that this forest is the one across the northwest base of Mt. Fuji that the grown ups said no one could approach. The forest that grew on lava that flowed during the eruption of Mt. Fuji. It does seem scary but there is no one here so I guess it's safer then where all the people are. If we stay here and no one comes we should be safe until the war is over.

CHIHIRO [Sees a river]:

No one ever said that there were any rivers here, but well maybe the gods really did see how we were trying our best to survive. Or it could also be the demons trying to get our attention to deceive us. Well I don't care who put that river here, I need to get some fish or meat and water for me and Fuwari to survive. I'll just hunt whatever I can for now. We can't be picky about our food since I haven't seen any animals yet, plus I am hungry.

CHIHIRO [Finished grabbing some water and some fish now it is time for him to go back to Fuwary]

CHIHIRO:

Fuwari-san I am back, I got us some fish and some water. We now need to find some more woods to make fire to cook our fish.

FUWARI[Looks at Chihiro with an excited face for finally after a year they will finally be able to eat some fish]:

Really you found us fish!

CHIHIRO[Smiles]:

Yep, tonight we will finally eat fish. I am going to get some wood. Do you want to come with me?

FUWARI:

I'd love to.

[As both of the children wander deeper into the forest, they come across an old lady who seemed harmless, and a man who seemed to want to kill the lady. They both quickly hide to not get caught]

OLD LADY:

I shall restore peace in the world, for I am the God of Peace & Nature.

MAN:

Not if I can kill you.

OLD LADY:

I may be old and in need of a successor, but that isn't going to make me give up so easily, I will fight till death to restore peace. You demons already know that in the end the gods will win.

MAN:

OHH! REALLY?! [The man then transforms into a horrible looking demon.]

Show me then.

OLD LADY[Transform into a beautiful goddess.]:

I may be weak but I won't give up

[The kids were surprised, while still hiding they both prayed for the goddess to win so that the war could end]

MAN[Evil Laughs]:

Well guess what I saw the shadows of a boy in this forest so it's time for the people to lose their hope. I will make that boy my puppet, and train him into becoming my successor to ensure that even, when I am gone the world will still be in chaos.

[The old lady tries to locate the kids in order to cast a safe spell]

MAN[Sees she was trying to locate the kids, the old lady was off focus. So the demon tries to kill her.]

CHIHIRO [Sees that]

Fuwari-san hide yourself, I will be back I promise.

FUWARI:

Chihiro don't please I only have you to be by my side

[Chihiro smiles at her and still decides to run to save the lady]

MAN:

Never look away from your ene-my?

[The man confused looks down and sees that the spell burnt Chihiro's fishes instead of the Old Lady.]

OLD LADY[Cries]:

No child, why did you come save me? Now the demon has seen your face and he can now make you one his puppets.

Man:

Too late to regret it kid. [Kicks the air then disappear]

OLD LADY & FUWARI[Cries & Shouts]:

NOOOO!!!

FUWARI[Cries & Shouts]:

Give me back Chihiro you demon. Where have you taken him? I need him back.

[She cries then looks at the old lady.]

Hope is now lost.

OLD LADY[Looks at the girl and tries to feel Fuwari"s soul]:

No Child, hope should not be lost. We shouldn't give up yet, for I see a bird in you, your soul is pure, beautiful, and it has the shape of a bird. This means you shall fly high, you could exchange half of yourself and your soul to make a wish. You shouldn't believe that hope is lost, but you should know that you are the last hope, your body and soul are. I shall train you to fight demons and use magic. Become my apprentice and I will make you my successor by exchanging the half soul of a god I have left. I will make you the new goddess. So that I can turn you into a god that will save your friend, and what's left of humanity.

FUWARI [Confused]:

Flying high? Soul in the shape of a bird? You exchanging the half soul of a god you have left to make me a goddess? What do you mean?

OLD LADY:

What I mean is that you are destined to become the new god of Peace and Nature. I came here to calm the spirits that were in pain and needed someone to hear them out in order for them to rest in peace and become one with Nature. One day you shall be the one doing this, for your soul has been chosen by Nature.

FUWARI:

But then what will happen to your soul?

OLD LADY:

Something that is given life to needs to pass on that life to someone and make space for newcomers. So I shall also rest in peace and become part of nature. My body will completely turn into a bird, then I shall vanish as the wind blows.

FUWARI[Cries]:

That's horrible, I don't want you to vanish too.

OLD LADY[Tries to reassure Fuwari]:

Trust it is for the best, and it will make me very happy to finally be able to give what was once given to me to someone else. So be my apprentice and let's save the world, as well as your friend. For I can't save them alone I no longer have enough strength to.

FUWARI[Sighs]:

Fine, I really hope Chihiro will be alright. I heard earlier that the demon wanted to make Chihiro his puppet. I might be young and know little but this is enough to make me worry.

OLD LADY:

As the demon disappeared with the Chihiro, the demon had already cast a spell on Chihiro, which only you could get rid of my child. You were the only one by his side through the war and even as his last time being fully human you were by his side; so only you can save him.

FUWARI:

What do you mean last time being fully human? [Panics]

OLD LADY:

I am sorry but he became a demon the moment the Algar the demon saw his face. For now Chihiro's memories and emotions are hiding the deepest and safest place of his hurt. He can see all that will happen but we will not be able to control his body, and his body will also change. For him to fully take over his body back you need to fight Algar, and Chihiro's demonic self.

FUWARI[Shocked, confused, sad, scared. Tries to get herself to calm back down]:

Okay, I will do all that has to be done to save him, and destroy Algar. I'll be in your care, and please help teach me the necessary to win.

OLD LADY:

I know it will be hard, but I also know that you are capable. So don't worry I will train you well.

FUWARI:

You said that I needed to change my soul and body right?

OLD LADY:

Yes, are you ready?

FUWARI:

I am, so how do I do that?

OLD LADY:

Climb the tallest tree in this forest, whistle to call the birds then sing them the most beautiful song you know. Talk to the birds and tell them to change you half form and soul. Then sing for them again. They will then surround you singing the same song you are singing to welcome you as one of them.

[Fuwari does what the Old Lady told her to do, and turned into a bird. Fuwari was then able to switch forms, she was able to appear in the form of a bird or a human at any time.]
