Where the Sun Walked "'This Shadow that ravages your Empire is your own darkness, and I will not help you name it,' Amaterasu said. As she walked through the Empire, she gathered the swords of each clan and placed them in the sky." - from Fall and Rebirth, Part I

Naga Vipers "'The Shadow is not of our own making, Amaterasu-sama,' her champion said, and pointed to where the Sun had walked. Looking behind at the fields of charred ground, the Sun saw where her own shadow fell. 'If we must die for our dishonor,' the champion continued, 'then let my life pay for humanity's deeds.'" - from Fall and Rebirth, Part II

Yasuki Nokatsu "'Our lord knelt and spoke in hushed tones. Then he rose, drew his sword, and stood behind the Sun - a second to her Seppuku." - from Fall and Rebirth, Part III

The Sun Returns "Hitomi's prediction was correct; Lady Sun committed jigai, sacrificing herself for a new world. But the Moon did not foresee the light that would follow her death and carry his soul to the heavens and beyond." - from Fall and Rebirth, Part IV

Fields of the Moon "A white light shone from the blood of the Sun, engulfing both the Qatol and the Bright Eye. When it faded, the Sun was gone - and the Qatol had ascended to the heavens. At last, there came a shining dawn." - from Fall and Rebirth, Part V

Moon and Sun "...And ever after, the Moon and Sun circled in the heavens, always seeking to finish their final duel. The cycle of Atman has begun again, and again the world has found peace." - from Fall and Rebirth, Part VI
