Once upon a time, long ago, when the flowers had not yet bloomed and there were only the heavens and the barren lands beneath
Before the stars adorned the inky black night great titans resided in our clouds
They lived in their ivory towers and opal castles and watched the world below
These titans were a cowardly kind and although curious, they wouldn't dare venture to the sunbaked world below

One day, a young titan princess found herself at the corner of the heavens
She knew to be careful, for she could slip
The wind watched the princess tread ever so gently on the ledge
The wind had a cruel sense of humour and he was feeling especially wicked and bored today
For his own amusement, he blew a great gust of wind, lifting the princess right off her feet
And with that single blow, the princess found herself tumbling to the lands below

For days on end, she fell until finally she reached the ground
She looked around in hopes of finding a way back home
The sun had not been kind to this place
Where there should have been green rolling hills, there was only rubble and muck
And where water should flow, dust clouds rolled

The princess's heart grew in rage
How could the winds and sun be so cruel
Throwing her fist to the heavens, she called for her family, but received no answer
Her family could not reach her now
They wouldn't dare
She cursed at the clouds and the gods above, rampaging the land in fury
For many moons, she did not rest
She tarred at the ground until her fingers wet with blood howling until even her voice ran from her

Exhausted, the titan lady came to the end of her riot
Collapsing to the floor, she held her head in her hands
Her heart now heavy in sorrow and only the black of night to keep her company, she longed for the warmth of life again
Her sadness welled beneath her eyes and little drops of water trickled down her cheeks
The tears did not stop, and she did not want them to
The princess was too downhearted to care

She cried and cried until there was nothing left to cry
She felt the wind taunting her, his breath twisting her hair, and stood to curse him some more but as she opened her eyes she was left silent
The once desolate wasteland was no more
The land around her was now busy with life
Grass spread and flowers bloomed
Birds flew and sheep grazed
From the fed plump soil stood tall a mighty forest of great yew trees, and upon their branches lay hundreds of sleeping babies

The princess cared for the babies like they were her own, and she loved them dearly
She was full of joy, but her heart remained that rage and gloom
Not all of her joy could fit
She decided she was to banish it to the ocean
She balled up and sank it with a rock

As the lump sank, it began to take the form of a colossal beast
His eyes burned with a ferocious flame, and it was hungry
Dragging himself from the sea, he stalked across the land, consuming all he could
The wind grew cold, and the snow choked the land
The animals flocked south
Leaves fled their branches, and the water froze in fear

Still not satisfied, the beast trampled the land until he came across a mighty forest
Prowling through the trees, he followed the sound of lullabies and laughter, till he found what he had been searching for
There, playing in the meadow, was the princess and her children
The beast drooled at the thought of eating them up, and let out a savage howl
She tried to gather all her babies, but it was too late
The creature was too fast
Driven by hunger, she knew she could not save them

The princess looked to the sky, and cried out to her family, pleading with them to help her this once but her cries fell on deaf ears once more
No one was listening
No one would help
There was one, the knight
He watched over the princess with curiosity, and had grown fond of her

The knight always dreamed of a companion, someone to ease his loneliness
For it's incredibly isolating to be filled with nothing but shadow
Stretching out a murky hand, he called to the princess and said, Lady of the land, please be not sad
I will hide your babies within my black cloak
Not even light reaches me up here
I only ask one thing of you
You can see there is nothing but me and I wish for company
Let your children live with me
Let them light my dreary soul

The princess agreed frantically, and lifted the babes to the knight
Eighty-eight crying babies huddled in his palm
These were all that remained
The beast, now full slept off to sleep under a large oak tree, his thirst satisfied
And as he slept, frost began to thaw, and with that, the animals and flowers sprung to

For month after month, the beast would return
Starved, he would ravage the land, turning it cold
But the princess was clever
Each month he would come, she would lure him to the meadow and he would follow, in hopes of a meal
The princess sat in the meadow, nursing what the beast thought to be a baby, and in his starved state, he would lunge, snapping up the child whole
But this baby was no baby
It was nothing but a rock, a stone plucked from the ground
The rock was so heavy that it left the beast full, and with his hunger quenched, he would return to his slumber

The princess repeated this trick every time he would return, without fail it would work
But with this, she knew her babies could never return to her
While the beast lived, they were not safe
And so, she lives amongst the trees, nurturing her home under the eyes of the sun
But as night comes to pay his visit, she rests her weary bones and bathes in starlight

Till this day, she waits for when her babies can return to her
