As Amaterasu walked out of the door she found herself in the land where the River of the Heavens was but also something else but she couldn't put her paw on it that was when Issun realized they were in a completley new world which caused him to start talking again.
"Where are we?
It got awfully quiet all of a sudden.
I don't remember any place like this in the village." Issun said.
'Ofcourse you don't you little stupid bug no mortal is meant to see this consider yourself lucky' Amaterasu said (remember no one can understand her unless they lived on th celestial plain forgot to mention that in the last chapter sorry) sighing to herself. 'Oh how did I get stuck with this so called wandering artist why didn't he just go back into that Sakuya girls kimono like a good bug.'
"Well we better keep our eyes peeled.
Boy you sure look helpless." Issun said before snuggling back into Amaterasu's fur.
'He did not just call me helpless he is so lucky that he wasn't bouncing on my nose again or else he would be gone in a flash.' Amateras said growling softly before walking over to what looked like a mirror. 'Well this is new I've never seen anthing like it.' Amaterasu started sniffing the mirror before Issun spoke up.
"Hold on.
That's an Origin Mirror!
They say once your reflection appears on its surface... your memories will be stored in the mirror for all eternity!
Gotta be prepared, 'spiecially while you're still loaming the ropes!" Issun said before again snuggling into Amaterasu's fur.
'Maybe the bug is useful after all.' Amaterasu said before trotting across the bridge and towards some pots. 'Some things never do change around here.' Amaterasu turned to walk off before again Issun spoke up.
"Look at all those pots just waitin' to be broken!
If you bust 'em, there might be something good inside." Issun said continueing to jump up and down on Amaerasu's head.
'If it'll make him leave I might aswell bust one open.' Amaterasu said then ran at one of the pots before puting her head down and headbutting the pot she was aiming for.
"Way to go, my furry friend!
You can do that anytime you see something you can break." Issun said but he stayed on Amaterasu's head as if waiting to tell her something.
'This is gonna be a long day.' Amaterasu said before sighing and walking around a corner away from the pots to a high wall as she was getting ready to jump up the wall Issun spoke up causing her loss concentration. 'If this bug doesn't shut up for more than two seconds I'm gonna eat him again.' Amaterasu said slightly growlng at the annoying poncle.
"Whoa, whoa, hold on there, furball!
Get a load of that!
That chest looks mighty tempting.
Let's check it out.
Getting up that high oughtta be a piece of cake.
Just jump, then jump against the wall to preform a wall jump." Issun said before again hiding in Amaterasu's fur.
'That's what I was going to do you little pest before you so rudely ruined my consentration.' Amaterasu said adding an angry bark at the end before she jumped up the wall and again Issun couldn't keep his big mouth shut.
"I knew ya could do it.
They say, "Good luck is found in high places."
So keep your eyes peeled.
We don't wanna miss any treasure!" Issun said before hiding in Amaterasu's fur again.
'He had better stay in quiet or else.' Amaterasu said before going over to a broken bridge. 'The bridge was alright last time I was here what happened to it.' Amaterasu said turning er head to the side in confusion before Issun yet again started talking.
"Looks like the bridge is out.
This shouldn't be so hard, um...
Amaterasu, was it?
That's kinda long.
Mind if I call ya "Ammy"?" Issun said jumping up and down on Amaterau's head.
'It's not like he can hear me say wether or not I want to be called Ammy but it's better than furball thats for sure besides it does have kind of a nice ring to it.' Amaterasu said before nodding her head to the nickname.
"Listen, Ammy...
Ever heard of the spirits of the brush?
Good brushwork has its own soul, 'least that's what they say.
Just watch.
It'd take all day to explain...
A picture is worth a thousand words, right?" Issun said before adding in the rest of the bridge using his brush.
'Wait where have I seen that before?' Amaterasu said before Issun tarted talking again.
"Nice, huh?
Just a little technique I've mastered called Rejuvenation.
It's one of many brush techniquesthat use divine power.
It's a brush god power that can restore broken or missing things.
I've practicied real hardjust to master this one technique
But there are 13!
Each one is a power of one of the 13 brush gods.
Originally, all 13 were a single powerful deity.
When the deity died, its powerwas split into 13 seperate gods.
The gods now dwell within objects all around us, but...
Go or no god, how could anyone have the power to master all 13!?" Issun said before setling back into Amaterasu's fur waiting for another moment to pop up again.
'So thats where I've seen it I use to be able to control it so this little bug is a thief how lucky am I.' Amaterasu said sighing before running over the bridge to a small pool of water then she started looking around in confusion. 'Where is the River of the Heavens? What else has happened while I was asleep?' Amaterasu said whining slighty before turning round and going up a hill that used to look out over the River of the Heavens when Issun noticed a rock with some kanji on it.
"The River of the Heavens?
They mean the fabled stardust river?
But I sure don't see anything like that around here.
It couldn't be that little puddle over there, could it?" Issun said with a look of cofusion on his face even though it was hard to see because he was so small.
'I wonder how the river disappeared it was fine 100 years ago then again lots of things could have happened in a 100 years.' Amaterasu said sighing before continueing to walk up the hill then she sat down and looked out at the sea of stars when Issun started talkig again.
"Wow!
Look at the stars twinkle!
I haven't seen such a beautiful nighttime sky in ages.
Hey, look!" Issun said pinting to a group of stars. "Are those stars forming a pattern, or is it just me?"
'No its not just you they look like there forming a dragon.' Amaterasu said looking up at te stars again which had briefly shown a shape.
"Hmm..
There's one missing...
Guess I'll just have ta draw the missing star!" Issun said talking then took out his brush and drew in the star but it failed."... ...
Bah...
Looks like I'm just not ready to draw missing stars.
I sura spent a heck of a lotta time practicing that." Issun added before mumbling about how long it took him to master the stars
'Well what do you expect bug boy only gods cn add in stars or else you have to be realy talented to fill in stars.' Amaterasu said sighing before flicking her tail and a star was added to the row then suddenly the stars started glowing and Amaterasu and Issun found themselves in a diiferent area then a dragon with a scroll attached to its tail appeared. The dragon swooped down towards Amatersu and Issun before stopping just infront of them then it started talking.
"Ah...
Why, if it isn't mother Amaterasu.
I apologize for not contacting you sooner during those long years.
Having never forgotten you, I, Yomigami, god of restoration, have eagerly awaited this day when we could again meet.
While you were away, the 13 spirits of the brush that you once possessed, including myself, have been scattered across this land of men, and now live i disarray.
I became a constellation and managed to survive until now.
The time has come for you to seek out and reunite all the techniques.
Your power is what is needed to restore the dried riverbed of the heavens and renew the flow of stardust." With that said Yomigami disppeared and a piece of kanji came floating towards Amaterasu then it circled her once before entering her fur and suddenly they were back on the hill and yet again Issun started talking.
"Wow!
That was Yomigami, the god of Rejuvenation!" Issun said jumping up and down on Amaterasu's head.
'Yes I know who it is bug boy no need to go around repeating it I heard him quite ine thank you.' Amaterasu said sighing at the rather annoying poncle on her head.
"Wait...
So you have the power of Rejuvenation now!?
Can you really use it to restore the River of the Hevens?
That would mean you were as good with a brush as yours truly!
Nah...
It couldn't be true.
Who else could master the incredible god techniques!?" Issun said shaking his head slightly before going back into the cover of Amaterasu's fur.
'You shouldn't underestimate me bug boy you would be surprised at what I could do.' Amaterasu said before turning around and running towards the River of the Heavens where Issun yet again started talking.
"Wonder if drawing some stardust would get the river flowing again?
Nah...
It's one thing to fix a bridge, but fixing a starry river?
There's no way you could pull off a stunt like that!" Issun said from inside Amaterasu's fur.
'Guess I'll have to show him how powerful I can be.' Amaterasu said sighing slightly before continueing down to wherethe River of the Heavens was then she flicked her til again this time as if she was making a pattern then she dropped her tail and suddenly the river was restored.
"Whoa!
A river of stardust!
So this really must be the River of the Heavens.
But what I really wanna know is who the heck drew the darn think!" Issun said before suddenly Amaterasu ran forward and jumped into the water causing Issun to hold on for dear life incase he drowned.
'That'll teach you for not believing.' Amaterasu said laughing to herself. When they reached the other side Amaterasu shook her fur again mearly causing her poncle companion to fall off before sh econtinued through another door full of light. On the other side of the door Amaterasu took off up a hill at full speed almost causing Issun to fall off but she just laughed again to herself before she ran over a bridge and up a set of stairs before she finally stopped and walked through a kind of doorway which oly resulted in a few logs coming down and trapping her and Issun in a cave but she just continued before she stopped at and edge right infront af a statue causing Issun to speak again.
"Is this...
Is this the legendary shrine?
We must be in the Cave of Nagi!
The legendary hero Nagi is enshrined here!
He vanguished evil 100 years ago with the help of a white wolf, Shiranui!
First the River of the Heavens and now this place...
Where the heck are we, furball?
Boy this place is a wreck.
See?
That sword's in really bad shape.
The gods sure didn't do much to protet this place." Issun said still from somewhere in Amaterasu's fur.
'I thought you artists were meant to believe in the gods awell I'll just have ta show him if I'm lucky he'll get scared and leave... not likely to happen so I'd better not get my hopes up.' Amaterasu said sighing again before swishing her tail nd drawing a line straight up before dropping it again and suddenly the sword was repaired.
"That really WAS your brushwork all this time!
How'd you get so good?
Exactky who are you, anyway?" Issun said before looking up. "Hey, there's another constellation!
This one looks like a..."
'Guess I'm filling it in again heh bug boy finally realised he can't do anything with stars with his brush.' Amaterasu said laughing slightly to herself before flicking her tail again and another star appeared in the constellation. Yet again they were sent into the realm where they met Yomigami but thi time it was a rat and it had a eally big sword that it used o make fancy tricks towards Amaterasu before stoppin ginfront a her and then it began to talk.
"Well, well, well...
If it isn't mother Amaterasu.
It's been a log time.
But with all those monsters around, the only place I could hide was in this shrine dedicated to ancient heroes.
If there is anything I can do to assist you in your endeavers, I'm at your service.
Make good use of this sword, as it was designed to conquer evil." Tachigami said before like Yomigami disappeared and a piece of kanji bfore flying towards Amateraubut instead of circling her in went straight ito her chest and yet again her and Issun were sent back this time to the Cave of Nagi.
"Hey, that was the god, Tachigami, master of the Power Slash technique.
Wait a minute.
If you're getting all these powers...
Then you're just like Shiranui!
You know, the wolf who fought and died alongside the great Nagi.
When Shiranui died the wolf's power was split into the 13 brush gods.
This is crazy.
Shiranui and Nagi?
It's just like the legend.
Well, anyway, I've never seen this Power Slash technique myself.
Hpw 'bout showing your stuff off on that boulder over there?
Lemme see you slice it in half.
I won't believe it till I see it!" Issun said
'If I must I must 'specially if it'll make him go away satisfied.' Amaterasu said sighing again before flicking her tail then it looked like she was drawing a straight line. When her tail dropped again the boulder cut in half and Issun just started jumping up and down as if in excitement.
"Wow!
I didn't think you had it in ya, furball!
I'm not even in the same league as you!
Guess I really overestimated myself.
Hey, furball...
Er...
I mean Amaterasu...
I've made up my mind!
If you're Shiranui reborn, then that means you can master all 13 techniques, right?
In that case, I think I'll tag along until I'm as good as you!
Lucky you!" Issun said laughing.
'Oh no please no that'll be complete and utter torture please change your mind.' Amaterasu said whining again and then she shook her fur but he just reappeared again.
"Heh heh...
It's no use tryin' to change my mind.
There's no stoppin' me once I've made a decision!
But enough about me!
Now that you've matered the Power Slash, you can cut down that thing Sakuya was talking about.
Let's go back and give it a shot!" Issun said snuggling back into Amaterasu's fur.
'Why am I being cursed t carry this little bug around why.' Amaterasu said before turning around and then sh eflicked her tail causing the logs to be cut in half and then she walked down the stairs but just after she reached the bottom two imps attacked. 'This is new they never came here before.' Amaterasu said before crouching down and attacking the two imps with ferocious attacks from her divine instrument and power slash before both imps were destroyed. Amaterasu continued the journey back to Sakuya's tree but this time at a jog when she was yet attacked by two imps but like before they were destroyed and Amaterasu continued to go through the door leading back to the River of the Heavens. There ere no more attacks th ewhole journey back so Amaerasu ran the rest of the way after shaking her fur dry after swimming the river again when she reached the tree she stood just infront of the fruit causing it to fall and break als causing flowers to erupt from it and causing the darkness to leave but something wasn't right so Amaterasu went off to invstigate what was wrong.
