As Lilly and Youko grew, Kuronue would tell stories of the great demons that they lived amongst. Many of them were secretive, and were given nick-names that the two children would create.
Even into their fiftieth year they would still sit eagerly, listening to their Lords stories. There was one demon in particular that Lilly loved, and always wished to hear more tales about. It was the great Daichi, the master of the earth and living things. He was said to be a colossus being; it's body like a monstrous manikin with no strings or masters controlling it, it's head and shoulders covered in stone and moss and plant life.
As Kuronue would tell her, this creature was a master of fate, shaping the lives of creatures big and small, and its powers were more ancient then the many humans that had begun inhabiting the island they lived on.
Kuronue would play out fearsome stories of this beastly demon, whose eyes glowed like the reflection in a cats eyes, and who's body could shift and flow like a great breeze. There were stories of greatness, and tragedy. Some times Lilly would stand, angry at the way the stories events turned out.
Even as Lilly began growing into a young woman, Kuronue's stories would live on in her art, and her writing. At one point the walls of her room were plastered of many scrolls, filled with the images of Daichi's many adventures.
There was one story that caught Lilly's heart though. It was the tale of Daichi and Momoka, his beautiful counterpart.
When the earth was just ripening to the age of humans, Daichi was full of anger and resentment for the indignity that the humans brought with them. They used the land and waters and animals of the earth as if they had deserved them all. Daichi would sit, deep in the earth, in a cavern with a giant underground lake.
In the midst of this lake, he would sit, floating upon the surface, and slowly become more and more enraged at the humans as he watched them all through the reflection of the lakes still surface.
He began to slowly let out violent storms and earthquakes. When this did not stop the foolish humans from their disturbance of the lands around him, he climbed out from within his great cavern, up to the surface of the earth.
He spent many months tearing up many villages and palaces of the humans, leaving turmoil in his midst. It was towards the end of this rampage that he was approached. Not by a human male, but by a demon. A female named Momoka.
He gazed upon her, struck by the sheer beauty of her, and the power and fire in her eyes. Her hair fell to the floor, and she bore great curled horns upon her head. Her face was beautiful, and natural, no paints upon her skin to taint that beauty. Her eyes were the color of the sky and the sun set, glowing with violent pinks and blues.
Daichi regarded her and spoke, "Why do you approach? Who are you to stop my punishment of the humans?" she didn't speak at first, only looked at him with sad, merciful eyes.
When she spoke, her voice was like a million tiny bells, chiming in different tunes to form words, "Your anger is not with human kind. It is with the change of the world. Let the humans struggle in their own life. For theirs is short, and insignificant."
When Daichi heard the woman spoke, he felt a peace that he had never felt. Her very presence was as soothing to his ancient heart.
It wasn't long until Daichi took Momoka as his mate, and disappeared for the rest of time.
Lilly would come to learn more and more about Daichi and his bride, and all the children of the earth that they would come to have.
