It was usually the job of the Wep'keer elder Kemu to recite this. However, one year, the elder, having been attacked by Lechku & Nechku, was too poorly to perform the ritual, so it fell to the young Likato perform it. The Twin Demons had a plan to freeze Kamui over so that they could take it over, this plan involved stealing Lika away so that no one would be able to recite the incantation. To achieve their goal Lechku & Nechku lured Lika into the Spirit Gate, leaving it up to Amaterasu and Issun to rescue her. The pair had until the Day of Darkness to find and return Lika as the lack of sunlight combined with the endless blizzard induced by the Blizzard machine would decimate all life in Kamui.
