Story of Yamata No Orochi.
Yamata No Orochi, was once one of many otherworldly beings that found itself on Earth with no way to get back to the realm it hailed from.
Masterless and to its own mind incomparable, it happened upon a couple who by chance had eight daughters. In a bid to amuse itself it told them that it would devour one of their daughters every year on a whim.
It proved a merry distraction, the year of eager anticipation between each of the promised meals made it that much more satisfying a meal when the time finally came.
For seven years its entertainment was indescribable, the ever growing anguish the couple and remaining girls felt was more intoxicating than any liquor.
In the eighth and final year however, unbeknownst to Yamata No Orochi, the storm-god Susanoo had descended to experience the mortal world that had been an increasingly urgent topic of conversation amongst the gods.
