The sun goddess, Amaterasu, is a very important female god from my home. She rules over the earth and the heavens, and she's represented by the sun. [Technically she is the sun, but Miyabi's trying to make this easy for Elicia to understand.] She's going to be very important to this story...
[Which she begins...now. Seeing as how she's told this story before, Miyabi has the pictures she drew for them at the ready, placing one down, of a small, quaint little village.]
Long, long ago...a tiny hamlet known as Kamiki lay nestled in a grove of proud and beautiful cherry blossoms. [Don't know what one looks like? Well, Miyabi paints a circle on the page and...pop! One flutters down from the open pages of Elicia's journal.] Each and every tree around the quiet burg was honored as a god. However, the village was not without its dark secrets.
