Nohi – God of Fire and Flame
"I live in the deep, dark heart of the flame. Do I burn to death, or even scald? Not the slightest chance, for I am God of fire, smoke, and ash. My story may not be a long one, but it is surely a memorable one."
Son of Haiya and Kiriya, Nohi was a renegade. Though protective of his two sisters, Moro and Yukiko, he was an individual and preferred to be by himself. One particular day, Nohi found a small flame lit upon the wick of a candle. Being merely a child of six years, he became increasingly curious and touched the flame. It stung his fingers and burned him badly. He shoved his tiny fingers into his mouth; his hand smelled like smoke.
About three years later, he became entranced by the bonfire at the festival of nature. He walked toward it, nobody else noticing that he was headed straight for the flames. No, for they were too busy with dancing and drinking to really care. Nohi walked directly into the bonfire and burned to death.
As he floated dreamlessly to the underworld, Nohi opened his eyes, which soon filled with his childlike tears and small sobs. The god of the underworld smiled softly and took Nohi by the hand.
"What's wrong, young man?" he asked in a soothing tone.
"I have died, and can never see my family again!" Nohi choked out through his tears.
"Well I've got a deal for you. If you were to become the god of fire, and assume his throne, you could live again and see your family any time you wish." the god of the underworld proposed.
Nohi did not need to think upon it for long, and he quickly agreed to it.
However, as soon as he accepted, he aged forward in time to a perpetual seventeen and flew down to his throne on newly grown wings, to assume his throne and watch over the fire. But living in the centre of the earth was disappointing, as it was so far from his family. So every now and then, Nohi would create a raging inferno to inhabit, and reach up toward his family with the leaping tongues of flames, trying to live as he did before.
Nohi later marries Cadrian and conceives Marth, the god of war.
