[i]As I finished granting humans with gifts of plans to build temples and idols, I grew bored and tired of their petty squabbles and killings, desiring more than simple plots of simple vengeance, even as my hatred of Ivi was still burning inside of me. I learned from my siblings that a new race of beings had been created and began to investigate to find the rumors true. These... elves... were of great stature and prose. As prideful as they were, I began to observe them and think they would be the ones to be the most fitting to grant the gifts or Reason and Debate as they could be the ones who would be granted enough of my wisdom as much as they can handle. 

I made myself present before Okami and watched as the land engulf in darkness. It would be easy for the darkness to be fought if the mortals had the gift of fire.

"Sibling, You have a marvelous creation. Your elves are spectacular and I have blessed them with a bit of my wisdom. However, I wish to speak not of ill, but I request that you assist me in gathering a particular item of importance to me. I wish a bit of Sol's essence, so that I may teach them in the ways of bending shadow"[/i]
