I just thought of a new writing idea. Whenever you see A: you will be able to read what Amaterasu is thinking. All Okami characters don't belong to me, they belong to Clover Studios. The dragons, however, are mine. I describe the way I drew them.

Chapter 2: A New Light

"Ammy! C'mon furball, I know you're tougher than that! Get up!"

"Amaterasu, please wake up!"

A: Those voices...They sound so familiar.

Amaterasu's eyes slowly opened and saw a green light moving up and down. Wait...Is this who she thinks it is? She looked above the green light and saw a woman who had a pink skirt and bikini top. She had long, black bangs and brown boots.

"Its about time you woke up! I haven't seen you for a while now, furball."

A: I missed you so much! I'm so happy to see you haven't changed a bit.

"It brings happiness to my heart to see you again, Amaterasu." said Sakuya.

"Hey, furball. Why are you even down here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be on the Celestial Plain?"

A: Well I was until that dragon showed up and cursed it.

"Ah, forget it. I bet the villagers will be happy to see you again!"

"yawn I suddenly feel so tired. It's great to see you, Amaterasu, but if you're down here, then something is wrong. May the fresh scent of flowers protect you always." said Sakuya and she dissapeared into the Konohana tree.

The two of them walked down a path until they reached the village. Everyone from Kamiki began to pay their respects to Amaterasu and gave her some food and offerings to get on her good side. But why wasn't she able to fight that dragon!?!? What was holding her back!?!? Fear? No, it wasn't fear for sure. Weakness? Maybe that was it! The first thing that dragon did was curse the Celestial Plain, which probably took away some of her strength. Wait...What about those lights? What were they?

"Ammy, quit spacing out! Look over there!"

Amaterasu looked in the direction that led out of the village. There was a dark cloud over Shinshu Field. Obviously, this is bad news.

A: Aw, man. I hope Shinshu isn't cursed!

She immediately dashed right out of the village. When she got to Shinshu Field, she was disappointed. It was definitely cursed. The Guardian Sapling was withered up and it was very hard to see. But she knew exactly what to do. She used her tail "Celestial Brush" to paint a circle around the trees branches and...Voila! The Guardian Sapling worked its magic and restored the nature in Shinshu Field.

"I see you still remember all your techniques, furball. Hey! Look over there, Ammy, there's something under the Guardian Sapling!"

A white dragon layed under the beautiful branches of the Guardian Sapling. Its wings had pure white feathers and so where the spikes that started at its head and ended at its tail. Amaterasu walked cautiously to the dragon.

"Is that a dragon? Pretty strange-looking one if it is. I've never seen one like this before."

The dragons eyelids suddenly flew open. It began to growl ferociously at Amaterasu. Its sapphire blue eyes locked on to Amaterasu, which made her feel uneasy. It lunged at Amaterasu with sharp claws glistening. Amaterasu quickly jumped over the dragon and when she saw he was directly beneath her, she kicked of the air to do a double jump. She landed behind the dragon and they both turned to face one another. Amaterasu could see the four legs of the dragon shaking.

A: He's so weak that he can barely stand up!

"Who are you?" it finally said.

"This is the great god Amaterasu! And I am the Magnificent Issun! And who are you?"

"I am Hakuzo, the dragon of light. My apoligies for attacking you."

"The dragon of light? Never heard of you, but why are you here?"

"I'm not sure...But I'll tell you this. I come from another world far from here. I and the other element dragons lived peacefully until that horrid chaos dragon destroyed it all."

"Chaos dragon? Is there even such a thing? And how the heck did it destroy your world?"

"I'm not quite sure how he gained such power to destroy our world but I do know that he is here. The other dragons and I followed him here but, sadly, we were too late. He had already cursed a floating island in the sky and gained more power from doing so. We fought him before but were greatly weakened from the previous battle. He scattered us all throughout this land and with us alone, he will kill us all one by one."

A: Scattered? I bet those were the lights I saw when I fell from the Celestial Plain!

"Amaterasu, may I ask you a favor? I fear something may have happened to my children and I want you to find them. Can you do that?"

"Well...How many children do you have?"

"Six."

"Six!?!?"

A: Six!?!?

"I sense a great disturbance in my children. I want you to free them from this misfortune with this."

He stood up on his hind legs and a white orb appeared in his claws. He faced the other claw at Amaterasu as if trying to pull something out of her body. And something did for a bright white light came out of Amaterasu. It was whiter and brighter than the orb in Hakuzo's claw. For some reason she didn't feel weak. The two lights combined and formed into a white glaive. The blade was pure white as if made of pure light. The handle looked like it was made of clouds but it was solid. There was the sign of the sun(like when you draw a sun in the sky in the game) in the middle of the handle.

"Wow! That some sword right there! I can't wait to see what it does!"

"It's not for fighting monsters or the sort. Use it to purify my children, Amaterasu."

"Hey, how come you can't do it yourself? Why do we have to do the dirty work!?!?"

"I am too weak to travel at the moment. But I must warn you, Amaterasu and Issun. If you fight my children, do not take them lightly...I want you to fight them with all your strength."

"Whoa...Tough parenting, huh?"

"Each one of my children are a different element, which are: Fire, water, earth, air, thunder, and ice. Please be careful, Amaterasu."

A: Don't worry! I mean, it would take something really strong to kill me!

"We're on it! But, next time, can you make a weapon a bit more useful?"

"One more thing...Don't kill them. All hope would be lost if you killed one of the element dragons. I do sense one of them nearby."

He pointed in the direction of Agata Forest. What dragon is waiting there?

A: See you later! We need to go dragon hunting!

Amaterasu and Issun bidded the dragon farewell and ran to Agata Forest. A new adventure was here for the both of them.
