Prayer to Amaterasu (to the tune of the 'Thank You' Version of Reset in Okami)

[Verse 1] Up the mountain peaks Through the babbling creeks Across the stormy sea Doesn't matter where my journey takes me

Past the golden sands Across the grassy lands Through the icy fields of snow Doesn't matter where I go

[Bridge] Even if we get lost and lose our way Your benevolence will save the day

[Chorus 1] You're the Light Bringer, the Life-Giver The Mother to us all You heal the land, stem our pain Catch us when we fall

You have fought the pain and suffering That we have all gone through Accept our Praise And our most sincere 'Thank you'

[Verse 2] You grant the spark of life From the very start And when I look in my heart I know that we will never truly part

In love we will sing For the joy that you bring It washes over like a torrent Light, warm and heaven-sent

[Bridge] Even if we get lost and lose our way Your benevolence will save the day

[Chorus 2] You're the Light Bringer, the Life-Giver The Mother to us all You heal the land, stem our pain Catch us when we fall

You have fought the pain and suffering That we have all gone through Accept our Praise And our most sincere 'Thank you

[Bridge] Even if we get lost and lose our way Your benevolence will save the day

[Chorus 3] You're the Light Bringer, the Life-Giver The Mother to us all You heal the land, stem our pain Catch us when we fall

You have fought the pain and suffering That we have all gone through Accept our Praise And our most sincere 'Thank you

You're the Light Bringer, the Life-Giver The Mother to us all It's our turn, we'll help you And we won't let you fall

And for all the pain and suffering That you have brought us through Hear our prayers And our most sincere 'Thank you'

Green Knight had no idea how long he had been sitting at the edge of the trees border. He didn’t care enough about the time to check. At first, he thought what he wanted more than anything was some time alone. To not be stuck near his counterpart. It was fun at first to bully them, to take out some of his anger about his own existence on himself. But the longer he stuck around, the more he realized he just didn’t want anything to do with any other Fern. He kept getting stuck in a cycle of wondering what would happen if he killed him, what that could change, if it was even worth it. Because another Fern wasn’t like another Finn.  At least, he didn’t think it was. But his growing doubts had started their attack on that thought too. ....It seemed like he was starting to doubt everything now, and he didn’t like it!  ...Yet the doubts wouldn’t stop. Now he couldn’t help but think about how when he first arrived, he  worried that his disappearance would worry or anger Uncle G or Aunt Lolly. But now he was beginning to doubt they even cared about him in the first place. Maybe they just wanted him around to be a part of their guard until they found someone bigger, stronger, more stable.. And once they did, they’d ditch him.

....He was starting to realize that the biggest difference between him and Tree-Fern was that people actually talked to him. He wasn’t just mentioned so someone issue a command for him. I should stop. All those friends that talk to him are faking it anyways, aren’t they. So who cares about why Uncle G likes having me around. At least he likes me! ...Even though if  he were here, he’d say I’m being pitiful. He’s expecting more from me!

But the problem was that he wasn’t here. No one was. That thought alone added to the weight of his loneliness.It was like something attached itself to his chest, making his slouch heavier, making him feel like everything was wrong. Following that came the usual angry thoughts- Why was he stuck here, why couldn’t he have just refused to talk to those grey people so they’d leave him alone? Why did even the simplest things he did always come back to screw him over? And most importantly: Why was his double typing so loudly??  He slowly glanced over to Tree-Fern, and he could practically see the dark cloud of emotion swirling over him. One part of his mind took joy in it- It was about time someone felt how he felt. But the other, which was usually much smaller part couldn’t help but feel pity. It was the part of his mind that knew he wouldn’t want   to wish his feelings on to anyone, not even his worst enemy.

Green Knight looked away from Tree-Fern, he knew that he was just ignoring him anyway. At least he could take comfort in the fact that the decision was mutual, for the most part. He placed his hands back on to his knees, and rested his head on them. All five eyes squinting at the distance as he thought of who he considered to be his worst enemy. …Oh Finn. His thoughts always came back to Finn when he needed something to resent.  He’d never understand how he felt anyway. Wishing wouldn’t suddenly make him as miserable, nothing would. The closest he’d ever get was action. Even in this sorry state he could feel rage bubbling up at the thought of Finn. He’d never stop fighting that fool, not until all the fights and scars made Finn just as bad as he was. Or they killed him. Whichever one happened first. Though he was starting to prefer the latter. Enough with that. He scolded himself. I’m better than him now. I proved it to everyone around me. He’s nothing to me now. But  he’s never going to know that. Because you’re trapped in a tree, and Finn isn’t anywhere in sight. No one is.  His mind replied. As always, he had no argument. All he could do was ignore his own thoughts, ignore all the no one’s. And maybe, just maybe, he could at least do something right by keeping anyone from harming the willow tree while he was around.
