The Sun Sets At Dawn (PG-13)

A white wolf races through the woods. Creatures scatter at the sound of her heavy breathing and the sound of her race. As she runs, the sun sinks behind the horizon. Dawn on this side. The white she-wolf stops as a lake cuts her off. The reflection of the moon shines at its full.
Then, pursuit comes at last. The she-wolf turns, prepared for battle. As the sun sets, her body is wrapped with red markings, and her fur lengthens out at her legs like feathers on a horse, but stand instead of hang. She growls as a black wolf comes out of the woods, two following. They have a similar appearance to the she-wolf, save they have a black coat and blue markings.
The leader, a male, sneers, "Looks like we've caught you at last, Amaterasu. You mock the very name of that she-wolf. You think because you have the same name as her, that you can be some great hero? Ha! Don't make me laugh."
The she-wolf growls, and says, "You think because you follow Yami that you have power. Ha! Don't make me laugh!"
The male growls at the she-wolf, and replies, "What hope do you have here? The sun sinks at dawn every day, and every day at dawn we get more and more powerful. Soon, we will be able to return to that world. And you will not, Amaterasu." The two wolves behind him summon black versions of the sword Tsumugari and begin to advance towards the white wolf.
The she-wolf growls, prepared to fight. The wind blew, and the she-wolf prepared to fight. But the wind stopped her. She closed her eyes, the sun bright in them. She sighed, having to back away from a fight was not her favorite idea. The wolf turned, and leapt into the lake. A flying leap. She landed in the reflection of the moon, and she began to sink as she dived.
As she floated down through the water, she heard a voice, "Find them. You must find them. They are in the True World. We, the Guardians of Brush, have opened the way for you to that world. But in doing so, we have opened the way for the Followers of Yami. Find them. You must find them."
Even as she sunk, the legend that Amaterasu had long known floated through her mind. The great celestial wolf Amaterasu, who had defeated Yami so many years ago, and the 13 brushstrokes that were known. It was said that the powers of the Guardians of the Brush would pass their power down, handing it off to wolves of the True World.
The True World. Amaterasu had heard so much about it. It was, to her, a place of legend until now. It was, well, the real world. Amaterasu's pack had been banished to the Reflection World by the Followers of Yami by convincing the 12 packs other to send her there. When those packs learned that they had been tricked, they sent the Followers there as well.
Amaterasu was the last of her pack. She knew what she must do. In the True World, she must find the wolf in each of the packs that inherited one of the 12 other brush strokes. She said as the world began to flip, "I'll have the sun to guide me." The world went bright, and the wolf fainted as she floated to the top, washing to shore.

Note on story: This is based on Okami, the game. Kinda a twist, but now they are all wolves, though there are other animals. Yes, I know that the game calls them Brush Gods, but I'm calling them Guardians of the Brush because I call them star elementals.

Rali looked at the white coated wolf that lay in her Chiyu's den. The wolf was passed out from too much water in take. She nudged the wolf's shoulder. This certainly wasn't one of her wolves, and it wasn't one of the Bushi of the Tsutagami Pack. She would have seen her before. Was it a wolf from another pack? The she-wolf lowered her silver head down to the wolf. It began to stir. The white wolf's eyes blinked open, and Rali took a step back. The white wolf rolled to her paws, seemingly fine. Rali said, "Who are you?" She had a commanding tone in her voice. The wolf looked at her, and said, "My name is Amaterasu." Rali took a step forward in wonder, and questioned in awe, "Of the Amaterasu Pack? But they were banished to the Reflection World." Amaterasu leaned onto her paws, and said, "The Guardians helped me return." Rali turned to her Chiyu, "Leave us." She turned back to Amaterasu.

Cancer looked at his pack as he lifted his head from the river where he was drinking. They were resting as the sun began to rise. The day was about to begin. Dawn. Cancer felt a connection to the hour. He closed his eyes, and felt the wind in his coat. He opened his eyes, and headed down to his pack.

Ute made the careful ascent up the tower, two of her pack members behind her. The wall was glowing a golden color where the wolves could walk. It was timed. Ute saw the next ledge, and curved their trail to the left to land on it. Waiting for her pack members to drop their paws on the stone, Ute hung on the side of the wall. Once they were safe, and landed, and sat on the stone outlook to rest. They were barely a quarter up the side.

Zectu walked through the ruins of the Moon Cave. It once had been crawing with Imps and other foul creatures under the control of Yami's pet, Orichi. He hated the thought of that, but there were many torches here for their leader, and the Glittering Caves were a wonder when lit. Yes, even if this place had a scarred past, it had a beauty still. Zectu kept walking, and sat outside the leader's den.

Bayse splashed in the water, with a few other Ryoushi behind her. She smiled, and then looked at the sun. It was just after dawn. She stopped, and said, "We need to start hunting, or we're going to be in trouble." The others nodded, and Bayse turned to the water to start fishing.
