The Fire-Thief Giant
The Titan Who Stole Fire
It's for everyone else's sake. ...Even if I'm always the one who gets punished.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A giant who stole fire from the gods and gave it to freezing humankind. For that sin he was chained to a rock, condemned to be punished day after day. He haunts the 'nice person' who wears themselves thin for others, gets no thanks, and always draws the short straw. The small flame he holds out warms whoever receives it, yet his own wounds never heal. And still he insists, 'I have no regrets'—which only makes it all the more heartbreaking.
Relationships with other curses
With 羽を織る鶴女The Feather Weaver and マッチ売りEmber he is one of 'those who give and are worn away.' With 片耳の絵描きThe One-Eared Painter he paints their unrewarded devotion into pictures and consoles one another.
How to deal with this curse
The Fire-Thief Giant embodies the everyday frustration of "mythology." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
