Wolf RPG

Amaterasu sat and watched the sun rise over the horizon. She sat beside the creek - Swiftcurrent Creek, it was called - and wondered what was in store for her. It had been long since she had decided to settle down anywhere, as her lifestyle often resembled that of the wolf she was named for. Amaterasu - both herself and the wolf goddess - was a wanderer at heart. She found it difficult to live among the same wolves for very long, and she hoped wanderlust would not take her out of this place. It was time to settle down now. Although she was still young and restless, she was beginning to feel the need of family in her bones, and the need to protect those she loved. But... being who she was meant that she didn't have anyone to protect. She was hoping that by coming here - to the Teekon Wilds - that she could make bonds with those around her. The creek, she had decided, would become her home.

With these thoughts in mind, she continued to sit and watch the sunrise. The Goddess for which she was named was famed for having the power of turning night into day by drawing a circle in the sky with her tail, which became the sun. And so, Amaterasu always got up early in the morning to watch her patron deity do her work. And, if she could, she would also watch the sunset, and the rising of the moon. The moonrise was the work of Yumigami, the rabbit Goddess, who was once swallowed by a fish in a forest far away, so that the moon's light ceased to shine on the surface of the lake in which the fish lived.

To some, all of this was simply a fairy tale. To Amaterasu, it was fact, and was but one part of her religion, which she took quite seriously. Her religion made up the very fabric of her being, and she did not intend to forget it here, in this new place. She would remember who she was no matter where in the world she ended up. This she promised herself, and the Goddess of the Sun, Mother to Us All, Amaterasu, smiled down on her as she continued to rise in the sky.

Ammy's thoughts about the sun and her namesake deity were blown away on a gentle breeze when she heard the sound of a wolf nearby, hailing her a good morning. She looked to the woman curiously, and realized with a smile that it was Fox, her alpha. "Good morning, alpha," she said in response, dipping her head in respect and greeting. It was then that the woman's fur coloring made her realize something. Though she looked nothing like the fabled wolf Goddess, Amaterasu, she had the same crimson coloring on her body. This made Ammy's smile only widen.

"It seems the Sun Goddess has blessed you with her touch," she said, and for half a moment she did not realize how odd that must have sounded. A full second went by, and then she blinked and said, "Forgive me. You probably think I am a fool." She gave a laugh and explained. "In my religion, the main deity is a wolf Goddess who controls the sun. In legend, she wore a brilliant white coat of fur, and to most, this was all they could see. However, those who truly believed in her powers could look upon her and were able to see the crimson markings that criss-crossed her fur. The red in your own reminded me of this."

The white female paused, and then ended her speech with, "This Sun Goddess' name was... Amaterasu, my namesake."

Amaterasu nodded her head once, to show that she understood. And then she smiled sheepishly. "Sorry for talking so much." With that, she decided to simply stop talking for a while, and looked out at the sunrise once again. After a few minutes, though, she couldn't help herself. "It is beautiful, isn't it? The sunrise?"

She looked to Fox, wondering about the yearling's opinion.
