Yuki: Wow! The world looks so pretty!
*Yuki gasps* A butterfly!
*She struggles as she tries to squeeze and dig her way through the den, then falls onto the grass*
Yuki: *chasing the butterfly* I just wanna play!
I got you now!
*She tries to pounce on the butterfly but hits the rock instead*
*in amazement* I've never seen orange fruit before!
Wh-Whoa!
I'm not far from the den. There aren't any monsters in sight either...and...a bite wouldn't hurt.
*Yuki starts running*
No! N-n-no! No! No! NO!
?: Whoa!
?: Are you ok?
?: Relax. I'm not gonna hurt ya.
*Yuki faints*
Kiba: I'm sorry Thia, but you should be taking Yuki to the Spirit Tree at her age, or at least Vita. Perhaps Ori too.
Thia: But Saskia would tear the spirits apart and I don't want Yuki to be-
Kiba: She's almost an elder now. She wouldn't be able to do any real harm; not even to a shrew.
A wolf's life can be treacherous, and too much for a young spirit of Nibel.
Thia, you need to think what is best for Yuki.
Thia: But there is plenty of room in the nursery.
We should have her be protected by the pack until she grows into a strong spirit!
Kiba: ...Alright. I'll announce Yuki's arrival to the pack, while you get her...
You can put down those puppy eyes now.
Thia: Right. She should be at our den. I'm sure she wouldn't wander so far.
Kiba: She's still cooped up there? Thia, Thia…
You know what happened when Mom and Dad did that to us.
Thia: Kiba!
Kiba: Alright. Alright
Kiba: Just be careful.
Thia: I will
?: Hey, hey wake up
Yuki: G-Get away from me!
I-I won't let you eat m-me
?: Eat you?
I'm not going to eat you...I only eat bugs and fruits.
Yuki: Bugs?...Fruits?
?: Yeah! Want one?
Yuki: Um...sure.
*Yuki takes a fruit and sniffs it suspiciously*
?: It's not poisonous.
Yuki: Um...of course! It's
*She takes a bite out of the fruit.*
Yuki: It's delicious!
?: See? Told you.
Yuki: Um, sorry about that...
?: Huh?
Yuki: I'm sorry. I should have been nicer to you.
?: There's nothing to be sorry about
You got me there though, but who could blame ya? I would have gotten spooked if I saw my own ugly mug.
Yuki: *giggles*
Ok...My name's Yuki.
Gumo: Yuki, huh? Hmm. That's a nice name. Mine's Gumo.
Yuki: Thanks Gumo, for saving me back there.
Gumo: No problem, you know, you remind me of Leru.
Yuki: Who?
Thia: Yuki!
Yuki: Mama?
Thia: Yuki...Get away from-
Yuki: It's okay mom-
Naru: Hey, Gumo, I could use your-
Yuki: Mama! I wanna to go back...
Gumo: Well...
Goodbye then...
Kiba: Welcome back to the pack Yuki, you will be safe here and we will protect you.
Wolf1: Welcome Yuki!
Wolf Pup 1: Wow! A Spirit from the tree!
Wolf2: Thia took in a Spirit?
Wolf Pup 2: She looks funny.
Yuki: I do not!
Wolf Pup 2: Yes you do!
Kiba: Settle down, everybody.
Thia: Why don't you go put the other pups? I'll make sure they don't bite you.
Yuki: O-ok...Hi, I'm Yuki. Can we play?
Wolf Pup 1: Gotcha!
Wolf Pup 1: C'mon! Let's play!
Yuki: *giggles* Okay, okay! Tag, you're it!
Thia: Be careful, Yuki!
Yuki: I will!
Kiba: She did not look really happy when you brought her here.
Thia: She was just tired of being in the den.
Kiba: I swore I caught a whiff of a Dark creature.
Thia: She'll be safe here protected by the wolves and me
Kiba: Thia...
She's going to grow up one day and not be at her side forever.
Everybody has their time.
Thia: It isn't now.
I know our beliefs aren't the same, but I want her to be safe.
Yuki: Mom! Mom, look I got it!
Thia: What did you catch now? It better not be another beetle.
Kiba: Let me guess, it pinched your nose?
Thia: Kiba...
Yuki: Look! A butterfly!
Wolf Pup 2: Yuck! You caught an icky bug?
Yuki: No, it's a butterfly! They're really friendly! Look!
*Wolf Pup 2 yelps and runs away*
Yuki: Aww...
Thia: Well, I think it's beautiful, but you must set it free, Yuki. Remember, respect life
Yuki: Okay, mama...Up you go! Bye-bye!
Thia: Yuki?
Yuki: Why did you take me away from him, mama?
Thia: He's a creature of the Dark. You can't trust them.
Yuki: But he gave me fruit! It wasn't poisonous!
Thia: He could be deceiving you.
Yuki: But he was really friendly, and...I wanted to be friends with him.
Thia: Yuki, you can't be friends with him. He's dangerous. He could have killed you if he had the chance.
Kiba: You may talk to me about it if you want to.
Yuki: He saved me, and I like him. He's pretty funny!
Can we go meet him now?
Kiba: It's getting rather late, and I don't know where you met him.
Yuki: I met him where the orange fruit were!
Kiba: Swallows Nest?
Hmm. I'll see him for myself
I'll be sure to bring my most trusted wolves in case he's danger-
Yuki: And I'll still come, right?
Kiba: Yuki, I have faith in you, but you're still a child.
You still have a lot to learn about the world. Your mother may be right. He might be just deceiving you
But if he is truly good then you may visit him
Yuki: Thank you! Thank you!
Kiba: Yuki I said if. I won't make any promises this is for your own safety, Yuki...
It's what your mother would want
Yuki: Okay.
Thia: I can't be around forever. I have to protect her.
Sein: The Element of Warmth is within our grasp! With the elements restored we can undo the effects of her wrath!
Ori: N-No...
Sein! We've got to get out of here! Now!
Sein: Ori! Ori, look out! Over here, this way! She's coming, Ori!
Ori!
Naru: *wakes groggily* Ori? Are you okay?
You had another nightmare didn't you?
Ori: I'm fine, mom.
I just need some fresh air.
Naru: Please be careful, okay?
Ori: I will, mom.
Naru: I love you Ori.
Ori: I love you, too
The forest is still peaceful. I wish it will stay this way...
Yuki: I just wanted to be friends with him. I'm not...I'm not really happy here.
I'm sorry mama, but I really miss Gumo and I wanna see him...
I did it!
Mama is really good with tracking. Maybe I'm good at it too?
Wait, no.
That doesn't smell like Gumo. He said he ate bugs and fruit.
Bugs and fruit...
Fruit! I kinda smell it!
Gumo! Gumo, where are you?
Wh-who are you?
Leave me alone! Stop!
Help! Somebody!
Ori: Hold on! I'm coming!
Keep your head up! I got you!
Yuki: Th-th-thank...y-you...
Ori: It's okay, just take it easy...I couldn't let anybody drown.
Yuki: I-I'm...I'm...Yuki...
Ori: My name's Ori. You're going to be just fine, Yuki. Gumo told me about you
Yuki: G-Gumo? You know h-him?
Ori: Yeah, he's a friend.
Oh Nibel, you feel like ice...but all the ice had melted moons ago...
Yuki: Th-They're gone...r-right?
Ori: Huh? I don't know what you're talking about. Just save your strength, okay?
*wolves howling*
Ori: Why are they howling like that?
Thia: Yuki!
Yuki: M-ma...
Ori: That's your mother...
Kiba: Thank you for saving her. She's indeed my sister's child,
taken in when her leaf went astray from the Spirit Tree.
Ori: Oh! It's uh, it's not a problem!
Kiba: Thia...I think it would be best to let Yuki set her own path. Every time you keep her...
isolated, she goes out and gets into trouble. She could have...
Thia: Wh-what are you saying?
Kiba: Let her decide if she wants to be friends with...uh...
Ori: Gumo.
You're talking about him, aren't you?
I know him, and he misses Yuki.
I'm pretty sure he wants to be friends with her.
Thia: Then...are you Ori?
Are those legends...?
Ori: Yes, I'm Ori.
But they aren't legends
They're real.
Kiba: See? I told you you was real and everything that happened is real.
Thia: I...need some time to think...
Ori: I can watch over Yuki.
I'll be at the Swallows Nest if you-
...come to a decision...ok?
Thia: I will. Thank you, Ori...
Yuki: M...ma...
