Swiftcurrent Creek total eclipse of the heart

A lot of the references in here will confuse anyone unfamiliar with the game Ōkami. Here's the Wikipedia link.

Amaterasu stared up at the sky as it progressively started to look weirder and weirder, and suddenly the sun slowly became blotted out by something dark and foreboding. A little sliver of pitch black that was moving across the sun with the slow, uncaring confidence of a continent. She stared, but made sure to keep her gaze slightly to the right or left of the sun. And the more it went on, the more terrified she became. The sun was dying. Amaterasu was dying! The wolf Goddess of the sun! She was being... drowned out by... something! What was going on? Was the Earth doomed to destruction? Had Yami - the Lord of Darkness - come back to life? How was that possible?

And then she had an even weirder thought: Was she the real Amaterasu, reincarnate? Was she about to go on some adventure like her namesake had so long ago? What? That would be impossible! Wouldn't it? It could happen, she supposed. But then... If she really were Amaterasu incarnate, wouldn't that mean that she would be dying right now, since the sun was dying? She shook her head. She didn't know... She just didn't know. She lay down where she was and hid her face beneath her paws, feeling quite sick to her stomach.
