A/N: Well, here's an unusual crossover... let's see how many people find this, who are also not following me.

This follows the second 'bad' ending from Nights of Azure, where the moon vanishes, leaving the 'world' stuck in endless sunlight. But, I've reduced the 'world' to just Rusewall Island.

When one thinks of the term 'deity' or 'god', what comes to mind? An omnipotent being that is far above mortal comprehension? A force of the cosmos unfit to walk among the common? A simple title to some imagined creature to more easily place the blame on whenever something tragic happens? Is this being helpful? Does it answer prayers? Use their powers for granted?

Would you believe in a goddess that takes a form of a snow-white furred wolf? Crimson markings lining her fur? Wields Divine Instruments: reflectors, rosaries, and glaives? Helps those in need, but also might cause the occasional mischief? This particular goddess has a name, to the people of Nippon, she is Okami Amaterasu. To a few, she is Ammy. The sun goddess, the one who stood alongside both Nagi and Susano to vanquish Orochi. The one who overcame the Lord of Darkness himself, Yami…

And maybe dug up some turnips she wasn't supposed to. There also might have been that incident where she used her powers to get into a vault inside Sei-an City.

This goddess awoke from a one-hundred year slumber to find Nippon in chaos, Orochi had been resurrected and she was left with but a fraction of the power she once commanded. Alongside Issun, the one-inch Celestial Envoy, she traveled across the lands to reclaim the brush techniques and exorcise the demons festering the lands. She restored life to the decayed, she brought hope back to the people, and both her and Issun restored the people's faith in the gods.

This wolf, once her journey in Nippon ended and she boarded the Ark bounds towards the Celestial Plain alongside Waka, had taken her spot in the heavens once more. But, even deities are never given a true reprieve, there is always the next problem that needs to be handled, be it a simple prayer, like a request for the local garden to flourish, or something dangerous, like a band of demons looking to assault a town.

This tale is unlike her previous one. While yes, she is going to end up assisting a city's worth of people with their problems, defeating cursed beings, as well as the leader behind it, she is also going to do something that would be considered odd. Okami Amaterasu is the sun goddess, and she is going to a distant land to restore not sunlight, but moonlight. Some great power has removed the moon from existence in this land, causing the sun to forever shine, slowly causing the temperature to rise. With the endless heat, plants will wilt, water will dry, and the people will being to die.

The phenomenon is occurring in an area called Rusewall Island. This is where Ammy's tale starts, in the Land of Without Night.

With Divine Instruments on her… person. Ammy departs from the heavenly Celestial Plains and towards the Island. At least, she would have went directly to the Island, were it not for a formidable barrier denser than the Blockheads she had to bypass, well, blocking a direct descent. Which means she had to take the second option, going across the sea to reach her destination…

Which lead to the second problem upon landing on the closest beachside. Her Water Talisman decided that this would be the perfect time to lose its powers, leaving her unable to simply walk across the water. In fact, she found all of her Talismans to be glorified carvings, rather than the potent magical devices she relied on during her travels.

None ever said Ammy was exactly the master of preparedness.

The next logical thing for her to do would be to summon a lily pad and simply create winds until she reached her destination. But that wouldn't exactly work well in a body of water like an ocean, taking the waves into consideration. Not wanting to get her fur wet, she insteads departs for the nearest port, hoping what Yen she has will get her to her destination.

What? She didn't need money in the Celestial Plains.

And so Ammy dashed across the seaside, creating her signature grass and flower trail as she ran. Except that the trail was far shorter than what it usually is, and that it didn't turn golden when she hit her top speed. It was in this moment that she knew, this wasn't going to be an easy task. At least she had the insight to check to see if she still had her brush techniques.

Wind, fire, frost, water, all of these and more heeded her call, though she felt her energy draining faster than they should. In fact, it was all fine until she hit two. Sunrise and Nightfall. Even after trying again when a half hour passed, neither of them worked. It was like her first Divine Intervention in Hana Valley, a curse swallowed up the technique before it could take effect. Making an undignified groaning bark, she continues her run towards the port. Where she was greeted in the obvious manner that any white-furred wolf would be, should they sprint into a human settlement that obviously doesn't worship the same gods as the people in Nippon.

In short, she had to turn around and run to keep from the swords and torches heading her way.

She needed another approach, which lead to the first line of thinking that crossed her. Readying her Celestial Brush, she charged in once more, but activating the Mist Wrap technique, allowing her to effortlessly weave her way around the people. To them, a simple white blur went past them. Though, it took three Mist Wraps before she managed to board the boat in dock, conveniently in the storage section. And once more, her lack of foresight bit her.

She had neither Issun or Waka to translate her canine way of speaking. She doesn't know how to steer a boat, either. Thinking things over, she left the storage room and sought out the captain, a rather pudgy man that was in his cabin. Unable to operate the door knob, she did the obvious…

And headbutted the door.

The force of her thick skull was more than enough to push it out of her way, though she was actually surprised it didn't outright break. "Wh-what?!" Thankfully, she could, in fact, understand these people. She barked, completely forgetting that he can't understand her. "W-Wolf!" She looked around the cabin, hoping to find a way to communicate her request.

It ended with her taking out her money pouch and throwing it his way. "Um…?" He looked confused. During his state, she casually walked over to the map in the room, then barked at it. "You want… passage?" She barked again. "Oookay? Money is money, I guess. Wait, you can understand me?" A third bark. "Alright… where to?" She pointed her nose towards the… wait, why isn't there an island on there? "How do you know about Rusewall Island?" She had no bark ready for a response. "Did the Curia send you?"

She turned towards him and tilted her head. It was then she saw something that would definitely aid her… a sheet of paper. She walked towards it, and at a speed that no mortal could follow, used her divine power, the Celestial Brush, as a glorified ink quill. "You can write?" He picks up the paper and, "What language is this?" Oh great, they don't have the same... "Wait, this is…" He looks it over. "You know what? I'm just going to take you over there, this is starting to hurt my head." She happily barks, even as he walks away with all of her Yen.

...Nippon's currency must not mean a lot here.

Ammy opts to sit on the deck as the captain and his small crew guide the ship towards Rusewall Island. She was, in the simplest terms, basking in the sunlight. However, the sun felt… off. She could still feel its rejuvenating properties, but it was almost wrong to get it. It was like the sun itself was cursed, if in a rather small manner. "So, this wolf can understand us?" Her ears perked up.

"The Curia had to have sent her if she can." Another spoke up.

"Well, something obviously went wrong with…"

"Shh!" The first one cut him off, "We aren't to speak of missions, remember?"

"We're all of the Curia." By this point, Ammy has gotten up, shaken her fur, and joined the three men in their conversation with a curious bark…

Not that anyone could tell the difference between her barks. "Oh, hello." The first one asks as she sits down. A courtesy bark came out of her muzzle. "Are you from the Curia?"

A confused bark was next. "Could you write something for us?" An approving bark as she looked around for a sheet of… oh, they won't mind if she uses the deck, right? She barks as she finishes, looking at the spot she just painted on.

"Looks like a dead language to me." One of them mumbles.

"Uh, this comes off, right?" The second asks. She lets out an unsure bark, so she does the next logical thing…

"What the…" And she covers her writing with a large splotch of Celestial Ink. "Geez, mind painting the rest while you're at it?"

"We're docking in ten!" The captain called out.

"Let's get ready, then." The three sailors dispersed, clearly relieved that they don't have to spend anymore time with the clearly insane wolf. Looking around and letting out a small bark, Ammy moves from the center of the boat, over to one edge, the side it'll be docking on, leaving behind one huge blob of Ink in the middle of the ship.

Those ten minutes pass as she makes the occasional water spout, managing to attract the attention of at least one person. "You're different, aren't you?" Ammy turns her head and sees a woman, and with the scent of food on her, assumes she's the cook. Ammy confirms with a bark. "What are you, exactly?" Considering that these people can't read her writing, and she can't speak without a proper translator, she's at a loss of communication.

It would help tremendously if she could see Ammy's true form.

With that thought in mind, she looks at a stray twig with a single leaf and barks at it. "What about it?" She barks again, and uses Bloom on it, instantly restoring its other two leaves, "You use magic?"

Close enough. Ammy lets out a resigned bark. "What else can you do?" A piece of the ship's railing was sliced off soon after, "...That doesn't involve damaging the ship." A gust of wind… that slightly redirects the ship's path, "That doesn't potentially cause this vessel to capsize?" Ammy simply creates another Waterspout… whose water drops hit the lady. "Nevermind." She sighs, before leaving.

She is somewhat thankful Issun wasn't here to see this.
