The heavenly plains shuddered as Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess, readied for combat. The air hummed with a mortal’s presence, an intrusion that could only mean the bridge between realms stood open. She fastened her armor and bound her hair in the warrior’s knots of an archaic age. Quiver full, she turned to face the trespasser. As you emerged into the light, the goddess erupted into a war dance, her feet pounding the earth with such divine force that the ground gave way, swallowing her legs to the thighs in solid rock.
