"Long ago, there was a Village that went by the name Kamiki, which flourished in a grove of cherry-blossoms. The villagers thought of each individual tree as a deity. But, however peaceful the village was, it was not without its dark secrets. Not far from the village, a beast dwelled in a mountain located on Lake Harami. Orochi, the horrible beast, dwelled in the Moon Cave, preying on the innocent maidens of Kamiki. The beast demanded sacrifice, and he could not be defied. Amongst the chaos, there was a white wolf, fur the color of purest snow, that patrolled the village constantly. The wolf was soon dubbed 'Shiranui', and it was thought to be Orochi's familiar. The warrior in the village, Nagi, often was hostile to the wolf. He tried to engage it into battle, but was always thwarted by the beasts swift movements. Soon, another maiden was chose for Orochi's vile sacrifice. It was Nami, the village's most beautiful maiden, and Nagi's love. Infuriated Nagi disguised himself as his love, and went to the Moon Cave in her place. There, Orochi was anxious for his next meal. But the monster was both, surprise and angry to see Nagi. They engaged into battle. Nagi fought with all of his might, but his attacks had no effect on the demon's steel-like hide. Nagi collapsed to his knees, resigned to his fate, but, suddenly, a white form appeared in front of him. It was Shiranui, the wolf Nagi himself despised. Orochi seemed even more furious, and focused his attention of the wolf. They both fought violently Orochi using his elements, and the wolf...seemed to control the very motion of existence.

A strong gale pushed his flames away. When Orochi moved to attack, a large tree sprouted forth, stunting his path. However hard the wolf fought, Orochi soon gained the upper hand. Calling the moon with a howl, the wolf fell to its side. The moonlight fell upon Nagi's sword, which glowed gold. With new strength, Nagi laid the serpent awaste, each of the 8 heads fell from their owner, and to the ground. Orochi's corpse laid in its own pool of blackest blood. Nagi relished his victory, but Shiranui seemed to be horribly injured. The warrior picked the wolf up in his arms, and ran back to Kamiki as fast as he could. There, the wolf's diviness laid for all to see. Curled into a ball, the wolf seemed to be dying of Orochi's poison. The villagers were saddened of this realization. But, unbeknownst to everyone, grief and sadness filled Shiranui's eyes. With the thought of a white fox, a strong surge of regret enveloped her heart.

Through blurry eyes, Shiranui viewed the villagers, and let out a hoarse, small bark. Soon after, the wolf's eyes closed, with the apparition of the fox the last thing the wolf sees. With the wolf's passing, an atmosphere of peace and sadness spread throughout the village. A statue was erected in the Shiranui's honor, and peace claimed Kamiki once more. But soon, Orochi returned, and darkness covered Nippon once more.

Sakuya, the Wood Sprite, Guardian of Kamiki Village, resurrected the great Sun Goddess, Amaterasu, from the very statue that honored Shiranui. Amaterasu, along with a poncle, Issun, went across Nippon, defeating demons, and restoring Sakuya's offshoots, the Guardian Saplings, to rid each area from Orochi's twisted curse.

Eventually, Amaterasu faced Orochi once more, this time, victorious.

Soon after, Amaterasu encountered another strong demon, Ninetails, who claimed to be the Lord of Ryoshima Coast. The 'Lord' caused a lot of havoc on the Coast, and Sei-an City. Traveling to the demons domain, Oni Island, to put an end to her chaotic reign, Amaterasu had a strange sensation when she gazed at the 9-tailed vixen.

The fox looked at Amaterasu strangely as well, with anger, but also...

With sadness.

Sadness and betrayal.

But the Sun Goddess didn't notice.

But, no matter how hard the fox fought, she succumbed to Amaterasu's onslaught. A black, wispy energy came from the vixen's lifeless form, and flew off into the distance. Amaterasu observed, but didn't notice a white cloud forming from the body as well. The cloud went up, and faded into the sky, just as Amaterasu gazed back at the fox. Peace returned to Ryoshima Coast, and to Sei-an City as well.

Amaterasu soon encountered Yami, the Emperor of Darkness itself, the source of the darkness in Nippon. Restored to her peak thanks to Issun's efforts, she defeated Yami, and banished him from existence.

The Sun chased the dark away, and for 4 months, Nippon had tranquility. But...something strange was happening.

Theft, fighting, and betrayal became more and more apparent in the mortal world. Bonds were breaking, and the few innocent mortals counted on the Gods for protection and support.

But, none came. It seemed like they were praying to NO ONE.

Belief and Faith in the Gods slowly faded away, when the problems became worse.

What is happening?

In the Celestial Plain, Amaterasu started feeling ever-so weaker, but she didn't notice the decrease of prayers. Suddenly, a white cloud appeared, and went as fast as it came, leaving a fox unconscious in a flower meadow. This stranger's arrival sparked hostility in some of the Gods, but curiosity in others.

Amaterasu herself, was...happy at the event, although she didn't know why.

But, unknown to her, and the Gods...

This vixen is the very hope for humanity."
