Goddess of Darkness

The Goddess of Darkness, known also as "Mitsuha," is the companion of the God of Light and regarded as the goddess of the dead. It is said that it is through her power that the People of Darkness reincarnate after death.

Legend tells that the Goddess of Darkness burned to death giving birth to her youngest child, the God of Fire. Devastated by her death, the God of Light cut his newborn child to pieces with a sword that later became the Dragon Sword, as it embodied the spirit of the slain God of Fire. The Goddess of Darkness retreated to the underworld to await rebirth, but her impatient consort arrived too soon and fled the underworld in disgust at her decaying appearance.

The Goddess remained in the underworld, where she ruled over the dead. Despite fleeing from the Goddess, the God of Light still longs for her from the heavens.
