Below is a full transcript of Amaterasu's story.

## Chapter 1 (Nergigante)

The morning sun rose. Dew sparkled on the stone of Shiranui's statue as another day began in the small village. Wet with moisture, the statue's snout glistened with a vivacious green light.  Many came to worship the divine guardian who had once saved Amatsu no Kuni.

Oh, how merciless was the despair that was about to consume this land! The skies were choked by thick, dark clouds, and a malevolent aura filled the air. The curse struck the village in an instant. People turned to lifeless stone one after another.

As if to further punish the survivors, a spiny elder dragon appeared. When all seemed lost, there was a blinding white flash. With it, the light of hope was rekindled in the villagers. The statue of Shiranui was gone, but in its place—the goddess Amaterasu had returned!

## Chapter 2 (Rathalos)

As Amaterasu and the wood sprite Sakuya gazed at the sky, they knew that their verdant paradise would never be the same. The coiled black clouds heralded the return of the foul serpent Orochi. It was he who had plunged the people into a seemingly endless nightmare all those years ago.

A small figure sprang from Sakuya's bosom and alighted on the white wolf's snout. It was Issun, the diminutive artist. "Hey, Ammy! Looks like it's time for another journey!" The white wolf and Issun left the village, embarking on a quest to save the land of Amatsu no Kuni once again.

They drew near the castle town. Its mighty walls rose up, lit by countless flames in the darkness. A red winged wyvern roared. Amid the tumult, a human figure sprang into the air. The white wolf joined forces with this ninja and lunged at the wyvern.

## Chapter 3 (Morrigan Aensland - Night's Butterfly)

The castle town had been transformed into a cursed zone. Like the villagers, the soldiers were turning to stone. The ninja beheld a plague of demons descending upon the men. But still, he did not falter— it was he who defended the castle from the encroaching nightmare.

But not everyone was prepared to fight. The lord of the castle was caught off-guard and a monster claimed his soul. After hearing this from the ninja, the white wolf and Issun headed for the tower, where the lord had barricaded himself. They rushed in and couldn't believe what they saw.

"Hey! Now's not the time to lie around with your head in some woman's lap!" yelled Issun. The castle's lord had been bewitched by an empress. "Why not join him? Give everything over to me..." she cooed. She spread her black wings and the evil unfurled.

"Hee hee... Well, it seems playtime is over." The empress flew from the castle and they gave chase. The scene below the tower was a great parade of the wicked—the Demon King's army was marching with real demons in tow. They sought control through visceral fear.

Once again, Amatsu no Kuni had been thrown into disarray. Its beautiful landscapes had been erased. Eerie figures ran rampant in the cursed zones, thriving in the shadows. In order to bringh back the light and purge this evil, Amaterasu needed to recover her scattered divine powers.

"Let's go, Ammy!" cried Issun, and the white wolf rushed from the castle. As her pure white figure raced across the desolate wasteland, a green light followed in her wake. They would never stop, not until the light of peace was restored to mankind.
