\|books=[[Yumi and the Nightmare Painter]] }} ~~{{spoilers\|yumi}}~~ {{quote ==History== Scholars of the [[Torio City]] university worked to create a machine capable of using the hijo of the region to produce a power source. Their early prototype was capable of creating simple rock stacks which were adequate to attract spirits at a low but consistent rate. A portion of the spirits' souls could be siphoned off by the machine to allow continued operation and to power auxiliary devices. This invention eventually led to the development of the father machine, which was significantly larger and capable of producing hion lines.{{book ref\|yumi\|39}} The machine was activated by [[Gyundok]] and his team of scholars when Yumi was nineteen years old, at the [[Festival of Reveals]]. Due to an oversight in the instructions given to the machine, before working to draw the hijo to itself it the machine seized the souls of the humans instead. It consumed nearly all of the Torish people, sparing only the more distant nomadic peoples at the kingdom's outskirts, in order to jumpstart its mission. This created the shroud--a black miasma of wasted Investiture which settled over the planet. The machine subsequently converted to powering itself by means of the hijo, and eventually created hion stubs which grew from the ground out of a burst of light in surrounding villages.{{book ref\|yumi\|39}} The yoki-hijo's souls were too powerful for the machine to permanently destroy. To protect itself from them, the machine set up prisons for these women in the form of fake towns. By altering their memories on a daily basis, it was able to keep these powerful beings unaware of their imprisonment.{{book ref\|yumi\|39}} {{complete}} {{yumi}} [[es:Máquina padre]]
