They say Lilith raged.

They say she sent a million demons to lay siege on the Other Side. They say she called out to the Green Knight, “Knight! You owe God no loyalty. He usurped your place in men’s hearts centuries ago. Renounce God and join me, and I’ll give you powers over all the climes and seasons as you once had.”

They say the Green Knight laughed at her offer, laughed as he tossed aside demons left and right, and that he was still laughing when Lilith plunged her hand into his chest and ripped out his heart.

They say the denizens of the Other Side fled into the mortal world, so afraid of Lilith and her demons that they would risk the wrath of hunters.
