Read the passage from Amaterasu.

Darkness descended on the world. Restless spirits ran wild and panic spread. The crops began to die. The other gods, who had remained cautious observers during the siblings’ escalating feuds, were forced to convene and take action.

They gathered by a peaceful river in heaven and discussed the importance of beckoning Amaterasu’s return, not just for their sake, but for the sake of all of humanity. Without her sun, the world as they knew it would wither and fade, and a darkened, sinister world would take over. Together, they hatched a plan.
