00:00:05 [child laughing]
00:00:28 I saw him here somewhere.
00:00:30 [gasps]
00:00:38 Hmm, where did he go?

00:01:38 [child laughing]
00:01:44 Hi.
00:01:45 Aw, it's alright.
00:01:51 What happened here, little guy?
00:01:55 Hmm.
00:01:57 [laughs]
00:01:59 [laughs]
00:02:11 [child laughing]
00:02:13 [screams]
00:02:16 [screams]
00:02:24 Death and corruption.
00:02:31 All that remain here.
00:02:38 This land can be healed, but you cannot stay here, spirit.
00:02:42 You must move on.
00:02:44 You are the one who does not belong.
00:02:49 I will never abandon my people.

00:03:56 [eerie music]
00:03:58 You can come out. It's safe now.
00:04:17 Look, Sire, she cleared away the poison.
00:04:22 The little guys can eat it.
00:04:24 [child laughing]
00:04:25 They love it.
00:04:30 [laughs]
00:04:32 My name's Kena.
00:04:34 What are you two doing out here, alone in the forest?
00:04:37 Don't worry about us. We've been here a long time and take care of ourselves.
00:04:43 I can see that. You both look very strong.
00:04:47 Do you know who that spirit was with the horned mask?
00:04:53 We don't know, but when he shows up, the girl's poison grows stronger.
00:04:57 Hey, what are you doing here in the forest?
00:05:01 I'm searching for the sacred mountain shrine. Can you take me there?
00:05:07 If you want to get to the mountain shrine, you have to help us with something first.
00:05:14 Our brother Taro is trapped too deep in the forest. We need you to help him.
00:05:22 Great idea, Sire. That'll be easy for her.
00:05:25 Did you see what she did to that stick guy?
00:05:28 Help us free Taro and we'll take you to the mountain shrine.
00:05:32 Woohoo!
00:05:35 Come on. Our village is this way.
00:05:49 [howling]
00:05:52 [howling]
00:05:55 [howling]
00:06:22 The rats seem quite fond of you. They're usually timid.
00:06:27 Something tells me you did not come to our village looking for forest creatures.
00:06:36 Hello, spirit. I seek passage to the sacred mountain shrine.
00:06:42 Our village is bound to the shrine's energy, but that power faded long ago.
00:06:51 Trapped spirits linger here, tangled in the tragedies of our past.
00:06:57 You must help these spirits if you wish to reach the mountain shrine.
00:07:03 On my way, I met two children. They asked me to help free a boy named Taro.
00:07:10 I'm not surprised that Beni and Saya found you.
00:07:16 They are clever children and would do anything for their brother.
00:07:21 We have always crafted wooden masks to honor those who have passed on.
00:07:32 Placed here, the masks slowly turn to dust, aiding the spirit's journey into the next life.
00:07:42 My father was a spirit guide. Our traditions are different, but he helped many spirits pass from this life to the next.
00:07:51 So you know what happens to spirits unable to move on.
00:07:56 Take Taro's mask. It is bound to his spirit and will help you fulfill your promise to the children.

00:08:37 [music]
00:08:42 [music]
00:08:45 Taro!
00:08:48 [music]
00:08:52 [music]
00:08:54 What happened? What did you see when you put on Taro's mask?
00:08:58 Taro is here, but he's forgotten who he is. We need to find three relics to help him remember.
00:09:04 The forest is huge. How do we know where to look?
00:09:10 Maybe Mr. Rusu can help us. His house is up that way.
00:09:13 [music]
00:09:17 Hey, Mr. Rusu! We've been looking for you!
00:09:20 [music]
00:09:24 We brought our friend Kena. She's here to help Taro.
00:09:28 [music]
00:09:37 The power of the Mountain Shrine is connected to everything in this forest.
00:09:41 The trees here grew strong drawing on its energy, and the land was once in perfect balance.
00:09:49 But, like all things, the Mountain Shrine follows a natural cycle.
00:09:56 One that our village struggled to understand.
00:10:01 As the Shrine's power began to fade, a devastating famine struck our village.
00:10:07 Taro lost his parents, and he was left to take care of Beni and Saya.
00:10:14 [children playing]
00:10:17 I should have done more to help Taro. And now I can only watch as his spirit struggles.
00:10:25 We can still help Taro, Rusu.
00:10:29 There's a relic covered by the corruption at your house, but I need a way to break through.
00:10:35 That weapon you carry, I sense it holds a deeper power.
00:10:41 [music]
00:10:44 The staff belonged to my father. It's been in our family for generations.
00:10:50 He must have been a great spirit guide.
00:10:54 [music]
00:10:58 I may be powerless against the corruption, but I can teach you a new way to fight it back.
00:11:04 [music]
00:11:07 To a trained archer, the bow is simply an extension of the body.
00:11:13 [music]
00:11:16 A spirit guide's staff is no different.
00:11:21 [music]
00:11:24 [music]
00:11:26 Ground yourself. Feel the energy of the mountain.

00:21:33 The explosion from the mountain shrine covered the land in darkness.
00:21:37 [MUSIC]
00:21:47 [MUSIC]
00:21:53 Oh no.
00:21:55 [MUSIC]
00:22:01 Benny!
00:22:02 Sire!
00:22:03 [MUSIC]
00:22:05 Where are you?
00:22:06 [MUSIC]
00:22:12 [MUSIC]
00:22:22 [MUSIC]
00:22:26 It lasted for days.
00:22:29 I searched everywhere for them.
00:22:31 [MUSIC]
00:22:39 I was their older brother.
00:22:41 I was supposed to protect them.
00:22:43 [MUSIC]
00:22:55 Even now, it's hard to forgive myself.
00:23:01 Tara, the children know how much you care for them.
00:23:08 What happened in the village wasn't your fault.
00:23:13 You will always be their older brother, and they still need you.
00:23:18 [MUSIC]
00:23:28 [MUSIC]
00:23:38 [MUSIC]
00:23:48 I'm sorry, Kena.
00:23:52 We can't take you to the mountain shrine.
00:24:00 It's okay.
00:24:03 You have to go now.

00:24:50 [MUSIC]
00:25:02 Karo rests with his siblings now.
00:25:05 I imagine the corruption in the forest has cleared as well.
00:25:09 I know it was time for Bini and Saya to move on with their brother,
00:25:13 but the forest won't be the same without them.
00:25:17 It's natural to build a connection with the spirits we help.
00:25:22 We give up a part of ourselves when they move on.
00:25:27 The bond still remains.
00:25:30 The path of a spirit guide is a lonely one.
00:25:35 There is still work to be done if you wish to reach the mountain shrine.
00:25:41 A skilled woodsmith once lived in our village
00:25:44 and built structures beyond anyone's imagination.
00:25:48 Search the fields beyond the storehouse for her troubled spirit.
00:25:53 [MUSIC]
00:26:13 My name is Kena.
00:26:15 I helped Bini and Saya free Taro's spirit.
00:26:19 I'm on my way to help the woodsmith.
00:26:21 Do you know her?
00:26:23 Yes, I know Adira.
00:26:27 She was a great woodsmith.
00:26:33 Together we found a way to capture the energy of the mountain shrine.
00:26:43 She believed we could harness the resources of this land to sustain the village forever.
00:26:49 But that dream faded long ago.
00:26:54 We've only just met, but I can tell you have a strong connection to the spirit realm.
00:27:00 You carry the same energy that flows through these roots.
00:27:05 It must be what drew you to this place.
00:27:13 With focus, you can gather that energy.

00:55:58 Fear drove my actions, and I destroyed something beautiful.

00:56:10 If I had just listened to Zajuro, how many could have been saved?
00:56:17 [MUSIC]
00:56:22 >> I'm sorry, Itoshi.
00:56:25 We're not meant to suffer such pain.
00:56:30 Grief is natural, but it can imprison us, change who we are.
00:56:38 Your torment has lasted long enough.
00:56:42 Nothing will change what happened here.
00:56:46 You must forgive yourself so the land can heal.
00:56:50 [MUSIC]
