Alté

"As he watched and weeped from the shadows, Aslgar saw a figure rise from the waves. It was a woman of dark blue skin, like the deepest parts of the ocean. Just like the oceans, She was old and wise, carrying a small cane. As She stepped onto the shore, the waves flowed around Her feet, leaving a halo of dry sand around Her.
'Kneel, Aslgar, the Warrior of Light, hero of my brother Etheric. I am Alté, and at my brother's command, I have come to bear you away from your grief and into the light of His radiance in your darkest hour.' "
