Nami of the Waves

~ Short Japanese Fantasy Adventure story part of a continuing saga of stand-alone tales by award-winning author, Charles T. Whipple ~

Now I, Hikarinomiko, proceed to finish out my record, which I take from the Scrolls of Masacado, and I make it by the knowledge and foresight what I have obtained from the Almighty Amaterasu herself.

After the Anointed of Amaterasu, even Masacado, did begin his journey to Kio the Imperial City in search of enlightenment and wisdom, behold, others were raised up by the Almighty to join in the search for the lost talismans of Amaterasu. One of these chosen was Nami, daughter of the Sea Lord, Umihiko, whose gift from Amaterasu shall be revealed henceforth. Let it suffice to say that she is titled the Fuku, that is, bringer of good fortune. May her own fortune ever be boundless.

As with the account of The Horse Soldiers, I will now lay aside my brush so those who read of the Fuku, a stalwart subject of Amaterasu, might search the accounts and come to believe in the might and sacred power of Amaterasu Omikoto, creator of all and ruler of Heaven and Earth. So I have written and so shall it be done. Sayo nara, and sayo nara.
