Mahi - Her story

No one knows when Mahi took over. She’s been ruling for centuries. Though Serena, the one who tends to the great library, may have an idea. Rumor has it Mahi killed the king of an era long past and used her manipulation magic to assume his role, stealing his visage. Over time she grew bored of the facade and showed her true form. The people of the kingdom were no doubt outraged.
Surprisingly, Mahi was a great and compassionate ruler, but people still opposed her. She made a proposition. If any man can come and “tame” her, then he will be worthy of the throne and she will be their subordinate. Many men regularly come and try, but judging from her still ongoing centuries of reign, it seems she still holds the crown, albeit with a hint of displeasure. Zuzka thinks Mahi secretly wants to be “tamed”.
…
In Mahi’s eary years she was a horrifying demon. Wreaking havoc wherever she sought fit and striking fear into townsfolk with her entourage of lesser demons. The years went on and her infamy grew. Though so did her desire for destruction. The same thing over and over began to take its toll and the destruction that other demons endlessly found pleasure in shaped a dull feeling within Mahi.
She began to wonder why humans cared so deeply for each other. Demons did no such thing. Selfish creatures. They’d sell out another of their kind in a cold heartbeat, but not humans. Not the “good” ones at least.
It wasn’t until that day with that boy did her soul begin to warp. To soften. Amidst another village burning where the citizens ran and screamed for their lives did Mahi change forever. There sat a girl, a child. Battered, burned and bruised within a scorched building when the demon found her. At this point Mahi had grown so tired of the facade that she no longer partook in the killing. She’d pretend. Let her underlings do it all.
As she stood above the child, staring down with indecisiveness, a small stone tapped the side of her cheek. A boy just a bit bigger than the injured girl. Still small and weak. He charged forward, putting himself between the massive demon and the girl. His eyes lit with a ferocity that froze Mahi in time. For the first time in her life, Mahi felt…inferior. Like she was no match for this boy despite knowing how easily she could dispel his life.
She took them both and secretly got them out of the burning village. Without a word she vanished. Leaving the children bewildered.
‘How could this child strike fear into me?’ She thought to herself. But a more prominent thought was ‘How was he not afraid?’ Mahi contested with these thoughts frequently.
From then on the demon had a new fire welling inside. A deep desire to learn more about human-kind and what makes them so…intriguing. She went into hiding. For the demon’s face was known throughout the land for the destruction she wrought. Only after many generations of humans passed, and her name faded into obscurity, did she emerge once more. This time with a new drive. She wanted to learn more about the humans. To understand why they pierce her heart and rattle her soul. And more than anything, she wanted to find someone as worthy as that boy.
