I have heard from reliable sources that the KF2 and 3 stories did not originate at Fromsoft. The Japanese made a rather heavy handed attempt to adapt the stories in order to plug them into KF1, but From didn't really didn't care about story as they are a studio of programmers more than artists.
You seem to be looking for a finely crafted contiguous plot line between the trilogy, but it simply doesn't exist. The KF plots really just throw together enough loosely related points to justify gameplay scenarios, and leave the rest to be filled in by the player. They even changed the story in the KF1 remake that came with SoM and tried to make it work better with the plot of the later KFs.
In KF1 the premise was The Forest Dragon was a benevolent creature who stepped in to save mankind when needed. The Moonlight Sword was his creation given to his chosen warriors who fought for mankind. Myria was his servant.
In KF2 Jap, they changed it to: the Forest Dragon was a spiritual shadow of Guyra. Guyra actually lived in another dimension and was unable to break into the human world. He crafted the Moonlight Sword and other powerful artifacts (like the forest armor) to attract powerful warriors to himself in hopes to find one worthy to possess and thus jump into the human world. Myria was one of the faeries; they were created by him to serve and spy while he was trapped in the other dimension. The fairy released from the stone was of the same strain as Myria. Dias was one of the warriors attracted to Guyra by promises of power, but was just his dupe in that Guyra's only interest was in finding the most powerful body to possess. Guyra wanted the Moonlight sword back in order to lure more powerful warriors to him. It was the Kraken who sank Alfred's ship. The ones on the shore were babies but adults were huge. As I was saying, "demon" is a bad translation trend started in the early days of Japanglish game/anime imports. The monsters that accompanied the dragons and the Evil King (in KF1) were creatures from other dimensions who came through the "Doors to Darkness" that were opened by the villains activities.
By KF3, the Jap and US plots were mostly synchronized. Seath turns out to be just as usurious as Guyra and possesses King John for the same reason Guyra wanted to possess a human- to break out of his dimensions and into the human world.
