Chapter 1:
Mystery in the wind
You probably won't believe me, but I've been to the world of okami.
It all started one day in Las Vegas. I worked at a casino in town and I was walking home when I felt a strange feeling that I should go in the alleyway right next to me. I unsheathed my sword and went in. I found nothing but a strange orange glowing orb. It had a Japanese symbol in it, kanji maybe. I picked up the orb and it had this warm feeling, holy even. It started to snow. Stashing the orb in my light jacket I ran home to my apartment.
When I got in the building I expected to be covered in snow but shocked to find myself completely dry. My room for some reason did not any electricity which meant my room was lit up by candles and my food was cooked by a wood powered stove. Lighting the candle by the door I went into the main room and inspected the orb. In the dark the orb's light slowly intensified until the whole room was filled with orange light.
Either my eyes were playing tricks on me or the shadows were moving! It depicted a dog of some kind and some kids fighting what looked like a flying child. When they defeated said child they went and fought this ghost like creature. Then I smelled smoke. I looked back to see the source of the smoke just to see the doorway on fire. The fire spread to fast for me to react trapping me in my room. The orb slowly put a protective barrier around me and I soon blacked out.
(linebreak: I can't do anything cool for this can I?)
Amaterasu watched as her son Chibiterasu ran around gleefully on the celestial plain. Suddenly chibi got this weird mental image of a man in strange apparel with his head against a stump. Scared by this image he ran to his mom as fast as he can.
Surprised by his run at her she asked "what's wrong?"
Chibi replied with "well I saw this strange man in some strange clothing with his head against a stump. Oh and I felt a strange kind of rip."
"So I'm not the only one who felt it then." She mused. "stay here I need to go do something."
"But mom I want to explore" chibi complained.
"Don't worry I'll be back soon." Amaterasu chuckled. A couple of hours later she came back and said "come along now."
Chibi didn't ask why and followed her to the ark of yamato.
