Alena

Alena (pronounced: Ah-LEN-ah) is the goddess of the sun. Without her there would be no warmth or light.

Description
There is very little known about Alena. She is quiet and eternal. According to the Codex of the Divine, Alena has never granted her power to any mortal, and no one knows what would happen if she ever did. Her voice is light and musical, but with a dangerous sharpness. Chyrnog wants to devour her.

Blessed Monsters
When Nadya is about to die fighting the swamp hags, Alena and Myesta rescue her by pulling her into another dimension. Nadya finds it impossible to look at them for more than a second at a time. Their forms are constantly changing. When she asks how they saved her, they tell her that Veceslav was watching and became upset. Nadya says that none of the gods talk to her anymore, but they reply that they are speaking with her now because she is ready. Alena informs Nadya that she is not the first to be born a mortal with the blood of gods, but that the other clerics never set their power free or spilled their divine blood for magic like she did. Nadya is shocked to also learn that Alena does not seem to care about the supposed heresies of the Tranavians. When asked about this, Alena says the other gods are young and their ideals are still being formed.

They tell her that if Chyrnog is not stopped, there will be nothing left. They can fight him in their realm, but he can call upon his siblings and then they will be lost. If their world falls, so will hers and vice versa. She cannot stop Chyrnog on her own, but there are other mortals with divine blood.

Alena also tells Nadya that Marzenya is a goddess of rebirth, and she will find her way back in time. She also says that the gods expect failure from mortals, "but that it's the failures that make it all so infinitely fascinating."
