Birgit and the Sea

When the great moon was still in the sky, wrapped in the warm embrace of the sun, it came to pass that Skaldor, he who was first of all men, took the Elf queen Kirilia as his bride. They had ten children together, the first of which they named Birgit. As all half-elf children, Birgit grew slower than her friends, and was often left alone in the grand palace gardens of the red palace in the center of the city inside a city, in the place we now call Triumph. 
The child played among the many fountains and ponds, played in the swirling petals that decorate the palace in the summer. She has always loved the water, and the water and all it's creatures seemed to always love her. 
The time came eventually that Birgit was to be married, and so she was sent off to the Green Kingdoms of Old Ichtaca, where the Orcs live among the ruins of Rain Elf antiquity. She was wed to the Orc shogun, who had ruled over his people with kindness and had a hole in his heart. Birgit was unhappy with her new life, save that she had been moved to a magnificent castle overlooking the sea. 
Each night, she dreamed of the wind and the waves, she listened to the sounds of water crashing into the shore, and each day she watched the ocean approach and retreat, approach and retreat. The ocean listened to her every day, for she sang her sorrow to it. 
One night, when the moon was hidden and not watching, the ocean walked onto the land. Birgit and the sea proclaimed their love for one another, and they laid together that night. 
While the shogun was off to war, Birgit gave birth to a son, and the sea gave a daughter. Birgit knew that she could not keep them, and with great sorrow she gave them to a traveling monk, who promised to raise them as his own children. She could not face her husband again, so she went to go and live with her lover the sea, and some say she still lives in her loving embrace today. As for the children, they went out into the world, and their descendants can be found among the magic users, those blessed with the power of the sea that gave them life.
