Dolya enjoyed listening to the stories told by the humans, which allowed her to understand how they perceived the world. What she wanted to know the most, however, was the difference between good and evil, as it was something which the gods did not grasp, as they had awakened before good and bad deeds ever came into existence, and the gods did whatever they pleased without ever having to fear death.

The humans, however, distinguished noble and evil deeds, and they either praised or condemned each and every one of them, staying indifferent to none.

And so she discovered godly love, the good and the bad kind, even though both of them still were love. The good kind was the one shared by Mokosh and the God Who Disappeared, while the bad kind was the one which the Lord of the Underworld felt for Mokosh.

Having learned about the miraculous birth of humankind from love and the foul lust that used tricks to destroy all bliss, Dolya’s heart filled with shame, anger, and sorrow.

For she realised that she was its rotten fruit.
