[Amaterasu appears with a burst of light and a howl like a dog in pain.]

No! It's back! It's all back! Shinshu is a cursed zone again, Sakuya's guardian saplings are failing, and I can smell Yami's taint on the wind!

But how is this possible? Yami is defeated, dead, gone from Nippon. Yet his demons are roaming the countryside again, as if they never left! I cannot even move past Shinshu to find out if the curse truly affects all of Nippon...

How is this possible?

Goddess?

Sounds like some real bad luck.

[ A worried Angela rushes on over. ] Amaterasu? Are you all right?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Hurries over] What happened? Are you alright?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Ma'am? [And have another worried person jogging over.]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Mu! [Bounds toward him, scattering flowers everywhere, her ears back.] It's as if everything I've done never happened! Yami is back and Nippon is falling into darkness once more...

[lamb_of_gold]

[Lays a hand on her head gently] How do you mean?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Oh, Angela! Yami has returned to my world, but it should have been impossible! How has this happened??

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Luck has little to do with it! Yami's return should have been impossible!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Ears drooping.] Oh, Shun...my world, it's as it was when I first awakened. Everything I've done has been for naught! How could this have happened?

[noking.livejournal.com]

Why? You kill him?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Firo, it is terrible! Yami has returned, though it should have been impossible...Nippon is dying again, and I can make no move to save it!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I did, only recently. After hundreds of years of his reign I was at last able to defeat him. I thought I had defeated him for good, but... [Sad and worried goddess is sad and worried D:]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She leans against his hand with a tiny whine.] The world has returned to the state it was in when I awakened. Cursed zones, demons...and Sakuya's guardian saplings are beginning to fail. It is all exactly as it was before!

[lamb_of_gold]

And no cause?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Yami? A monster of some sort? [ Angela pets Amaterasu gently, trying to comfort her. ]

[noking.livejournal.com]

If you already did it, second time should be easy right?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

None that I can think of...save this place.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Defeating Yami was anything but easy, but I do not doubt I would be able to do it again. But I cannot even move past Shinshu Field to try and reach him! I cannot even begin to try and dispel his curse... Still, it is my duty to try and find a way. I will not let my people down.

[Is silent and contemplative for awhile, but then she looks up at Shenzi again.]

I don't believe we have ever met.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Likes the pets and her tail wags a bit feebly.] The Lord of Darkness, the source of all demons and curses. Nippon almost fell to him not long ago, but I was at last able to defeat him. Which is why he should not be able to return now! And yet the world is once again in the state it was when I first awakened...

[noking.livejournal.com]

I guess if you killed him once he did that to stop you doing it again. Good luck.

No we haven't. Shenzi of the Ngorongoro Bouda.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Yet even Yami does not have that kind of power. I can only think that it is somehow an effect of this place... [Pauses and then nods.] But I thank you.

[Small smile.] A pleasure to meet you, Shenzi of the Ngorongoro Bouda. I am Amaterasu, sun goddess of Nippon.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Pets her] I..I think it might have something to do with this place. We defeated Hades but then he came back and he wasn't suppose to be able to yet...

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Frowns, then bows her head. ] I will help you fight him if I can access your world.

[lamb_of_gold]

Then it was likely this place that caused it.
