"Susano'o, ever fearsome, had thrown a flayed horse, murdered the maiden, and sewn the heavenly rice fields of the Sun with salt. So fled Amaterasu-ōmikami, into the heavenly cave of Amano-Iwato. Without her wise and guiding light, the world became dark."
"The gods tried, and tried again, failing every time to lure the tortured sun goddess from hiding and restore the light. Ever clever, the goddess Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, placed a mirror at the entrance of the cavern, and then danced upon an upturned tub, tearing her clothes away to the bemusement and laughter of the fellow gods. Hearing this ruckus, Amaterasu left her secluded cavern, seeing the mirror upon which Ame-no-Uzume had set, and seeing once more her own beauty and agreeing to retake her rightful place."
"That is the legend the ancient myths tell of. But those who worship that innocient and cheerful goddess are in for quite a shock. As there are other facts that legends are quick to ignore... or rather, legends that were erased from the Libraries of the Kami."
"It is said when the Spirits move, Men should be still. This is true now as always. But when the Spirits move, the Spirits should also be wary. For it is the place of a Kami to exist as a personification of Nature. Lest they exist merely as a rustle of leaves or a cool autumn breeze. Worship leads to Personification. Personification leads to Form. And Form leads to vulnerability."
"Even the Gods have their rivals. There are beings so ancient, twisted, and horrible as to even defy their creation. Gibbering abysmal forms cluttering the stygian abysses of reality, blind idiot horrors at the center of creation, and 'things'; that cannot be defined as 'things', and whom attempting to personify or discuss about would court their presance."
"Even a Goddess would be corrupted by a chance encounter with one, but fortunately, they are usually protected by the realities they have created. Exceptions are rare, but when they do happen, they shake the heavens and the earth. So happened with Amenouzume; the Heavenly Alarming Maiden."
"If you think about it, a Mad Goddess would make an excellent weapon, in the wrong hands, would it not? To be released upon the doorstep, perhaps, of the mortal servant of a higher power? Imagine Happiness and Mirth turned into a selfish desire and hunger for one's own happiness. Revelry turned to Insanity. Merriment at the Expense of all others. With such power in one package, not only would it prove a formidable being, but also a useful tool of manipulation. A statement that not even the Gods are invincible."
"If the Emperors of Kusari are the Divine Children of Amaterasu, then what would happen if a Greater Kami were to be used against him?"
"Conveniently enough, there is no Kusari Emperor, any longer..."
"AmeAme was walking in AmeForest. Then ShinyLady-sama went into cave since was sad that windy BlowGod was blowing and... umm... killed horsey. AmeAme not like horsey, BUT STILL!"
"Then... Umm... danced on bucket. Not wearing clothes BECAUSE THERE NO SUCH THING! Clothes part of Cabbage Conspiracy. Should not wear."
"So SunnyLady-sama came out of hideyhole and was bright again. And AMEAME WAS BIGGEST HERO since IT MY IDEA get her out of cave!!!"
"SO THEN AmeAme found dark robot baka, but BEAT UP since HE NOT REAL and FIGMENT OF Ameimagination."
"Then AmeAme was bored, so went to Space. Then got superior AmeShip from MoneyBaka (also got FuzzyThing! Yay FuzzyThing!) and used AmeShip to SHOOT BRETOCABBAGE! YAAAAY!"
"Then got bored with space and went to Gensokyo. Where AMEAME BUILT superior shrine from AmeShip and got RedWhiteMiko to give donations to AmeAme."
