Names Bella, err…the Gods gave me a new name, Okami Hime, or Hime for short, only Cici calls me Bella now, Cici was also given a new name; Hoshi Akari, Goddess of Starlight.
I just had become Goddess of Wolves. Shiranui, had just been officially called the King of the Gods, and he has yet to choose a Queen.
I was walking through the fields of the Celestial Plains, my paws softly crunching the grass; I paused and felt the wind ruffling my violet and blue fur around my face.
I opened my mouth and hummed the beginning to a song I remembered: Savin' Me by Nickleback
Prison gates won't open up for me On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls These iron bars can't hold my soul in All I need is you
Come please I'm callin' And oh I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
This song always reminded me of my "past" life, before Okami. Especially with my, and Cici's uncle, and how Shiranui… and Issun, were able to help us overcome our past.
Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me
My heart began to quiver at this part, because it reminded me of when I used to cut myself, and when Shiranui came to me in a dream and told me to stop.
Heaven's gates won't open up for me With these broken wings I'm fallin' And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story And oh I scream for you
I was always afraid the Gods wouldn't accept me, and the wings of my spirit had broken a long time ago. I was actually ready to commit suicide when my uncle gave me the scar across my eye.
Come please I'm callin' And all I need from you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me Hurry I'm fallin'
Luckily, my older sister was there to stop me from killing myself, and with her, and Shiranui's help, I dug myself out of the hole I had fallen into.
And all I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me Hurry I'm fallin'
And say it for me, say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me
After the song ended, I realized just how much Shiranui had helped me; I just smiled and looked up to the Heavens saying: "thank you Shiranui, for everything you've given me."
