This the speech really it's normal bt Ammy's is different

'Ammy thoughts'

"100 years had passed since Nagi and Shianui's heroic esploits.

It happened so quickly that no one in the village even took notice."

A mysterious figure came behind the sacred sword Tsukuyomi and said "Is this the legendary sword?

Is this Tsukuyomi, the sword that banished the dreaded Orochi?

No...it couldn't be.

It's just a legend...

Nothing but a fairytale!" The figure pulls the sord out of what looked like a giant bell in the middle of an arena but as soon as the figure did black spirits came out of where the sword just was and a terrifying creature with 8 heads appeared.

The 8 headed creature said "O, ho who seeks power...

He who has broken my bonds...

Speak the words, "I wish darkness unto the world."

Utter that prayer unto me, and unleash my power."

The black figure ran away in fear and the creature threw back all it's heads and roared as darkness swept the land trees and flowers went back into the earth, the animls all desappeared and the people turned to stone as the curse traveled. The creature smashed the bridge that the figure had took to get at the sword so that no one could get near the lair. Elsewhere in a small village called Kamiki there was another story beginning for the greatest goddess that risked her own life for the village 100 years ago.

"A horrible tragedy suddenly swept over the land.

However, there was one village that seemed to escape the terrible curse.

The tiny settlement of Kamiki Village enjoyed the protection at a sacred tree.

It is here that the real story begins."

A wood sprite called Sakuya appeared before the statue of the Shiranui and said "How troublesome!

This is just like the ancient prophecy of doom.

What has transpired to bring about such calamity?

We must act quickly!

There is no time to lose!

My power has dimonished over the years I've spent protecting this area.

I don't have much time left in this world." Sakuya drew a circle in the air and what looked likea divine instrument appeared before her she took it and held it in her hands.

"Amaterasu, now is the time.

We have never needed your power more.

Shine your divine light upon this broken and polluted world.

Let your heavenly rays because our hope as you guide us all!"

Sakuya threw the divine instrument onto the statue's back and flames shot from it then the statue came to life shaking it's white fur this was the great goddess Amaterasu.

-Amaterasu's pov-

'As I looked round the first thing I saw was a wood sprite in a pink kimono she looked like the talkative type so I knew that it was gonna be a while before she'd shut up and leave.'

"Ah!

Such divine white light!

Such beauty and grace!

The only one capable of such a wondrous specticle is none other than our mother and the origin of all that is, Amaterasu!

How delightful to see that the savior whose brave sacrifice sealed away the evil demon so many years ago has not changed one bit."

'Just as I thought I wonder how long she's gonna be here for so maybe I'll just rest my paws abit while she talks.' Amaterasu then sat down and looked around her as Sakuya spoke about something or other

"Seeing you emerge after so many years spent as a statue brings happiness to my heart!" Sakuya said then she wiped her nose with her hand.

'Oh no now she's gonna cry just because I woke up...

How long was I aseep for?' Amaterasu yawned and lay down starting to drift off into a nice nap.

"... ...

Amaterasu...

Gaze above you and take in the condition of the sky.

Since your untimely departure from our midst, the world has succumbed to devious and vicious beasts.

They have ravaged our fine and beautiful country of Nippon...

But never have the circumstances been worse than they are at this very moment.

Please use your powers to banish the darkness and punish those who would do us harm.

...Hm?" Sakuya said looking down before startig to shake causing Amaterasu to give her a strange look.

'Now what's wrong with her one minute she's close totears next she's doing a funny dance is this wood sprite crazy'

"Eh?

What is this?" Sakua said looking down again."Has something stolen its way into my robe?" Suddenly Sakuya started laughing.

'Ok that proves it this girl really isn't right in the head maybe if I ignore her she'll go away' Amaterasu pretended to go to sleep until suddenly there was a popping noise and what looked like a green glowing ball came flying out of Sakuya's kimono.

"Phew!

What on earth?

You again?" Sakuya said looking down at the glow when it rolled on the floor then it started jumping causing Amaterasu to wake up.

'What in the world is this first a crazy wood sprite now a bouncing green ball what's next' Amatersu starts growling at the glowing ball.

"Ow ow ow ow ow! Are you nuts?

Boy, for a little thing, you sure make a big fuss!

I was just tryin' to make the conversation a bit more interesting, that's all." The glow said continueing o jump up and down.

'Oh great it talks to oh how I wish I was back on the Celestial Plain with the Celestials and Waka.'

"Were you napping in my clothes again, bug?" Sakuya said continueing to look at the glow.

'Oh so it's a type of bug that talks brilliant' Amaterasu continued growling at the glow.

"Bug?

I told you a thousand times not to call me that!

I'm a wandering artist.

The name's Issun!" The glow said.

'Oh right it has a name maybe it'll also go away along with Sakuya was that her name' Amaterasu stopped growling

"I'll show you just how great I am, and it won't be long till you're bowing down before my great brush!" Issun said.

Suddenly a scroll came flying at her and hit her in the face. 'What in the name of the Gods is this' As Amaterasu continued to look at it she saw that it was a picture of the wood sprite 'this picture isn't that bad and its quieter than the real thing.'

"Well, waddya think?

Even cuter than the real thing, no?"Issun said.'I agree it is good.' Issun then started jumping towards Amaterasu causing her to start growling again then Issun jumped on her nose. 'Hey what do you think your doing bug.'

"What's with you, furball?

You look kinda down in the dumps.

Actually...

You look kinda familliar...

Got it!

You look just like that statue of Shiranui!" Issun said continueing to jump on Amatersasu's nose.

'Oh I'll teach you to call me furball.' Amaterasu suddenly turned her head and ate Issun. 'Ok thatwas a very bad idea.' Amaterasu pulled a face and spat Issun out again causing him to turn red and start a rant while jumping furiously in front of her.

"Whoa!

Whaddya think you're doin'!?

Are you crazy?

A handsome guy like me should never be covered in wolf slabber!

You'll regret messin' with the great Issun!" Issun said pulling out what looked like a needle.

'Wonder what he's planning to sow with that thing.' Amaterasu thought.

"Don't make me use my prized sword, Denkomaru against you!" Issun said still slightly red.

'Oh right thats a sword I thought it was a needle.' Amaterasu said (although no one could understand her) when suddenly there was a terrifying roar that shook the earth 'Oh please someone tell me that isn't what I think it is.' Issun jumped back onto Amaterasu's nose his glow was back to green.

"Wh-Wh-What's that growling sound?

And why's it so dark, anyway?" Issun said continueing to jump up and down on Amaterasu's nose.

'Well done mr wandering artist stat the obvious.'

"O, great god Amaterasu...

I've used all the power I have to protect Kamiki Village.

The village lives on.

Their spirits lie encased in my fruit.

Cut it free, and the village will be reborn!" Sakuya disappeared but in her pace a giant Konohana tree grew from behind Amaterasu and Issun.

'About time she left now how do I get rid of this pest on my nose'

"I trust in you.

I know that you will lead us down the right path.

Only your awesome power can restore life to the world." Sakuya's voice came from behind them causig Amaterasu to turn around while Issun continued jumping on her nose.

"The tree's returned to normal, huh?

That Sakuya girl sure said some weird stuff.

The villager's spirits are being kept inside the fruit...

That's the fruit." Issun said pointing to the only fruit on the Konohana causing Amaterasu to roll her eyes at him.

'I wonder how I'm gonna get that fruit down and how I'm gonna get this bug to leave me alone.'

"That girl said that "If you cut it down, the village will be restored".

But it's awfully high up there.

If you don't use some kind of special power, there's no way you're gonna reach it.

This darkness is really gettin' to me, to.

A lot can happen while you're taking a nap." Issun said before going deep into Amaterasu's fur.

'At last peace and quiet now to get back my powers.' With that said Amaterasu walked through the arch just under the Konohana tree into the land of the gods.
