A Mother to us all, a Protector to us all,
The carrier of souls, the light in the dark,
Whisper Her name with love and care,
For Her love for us is neverending,
And Her light is our guide,
To the Celestial Plains,
Through the harshness of the Fierce,
And the sadness of the Lonely.
The Benevolent One is the most recognized figure of the Celestial Siblings, and she is praised all over Etaliari in many forms. Most prayers include her name - Arenei'kumi - and she has many temples all over the world. The most known form that she takes are in the Eyes of the Gods, mystical creatures that roam the land of Etaliari like ghosts and spirits. Whenever they are sighted, it is viewed as a sign of the Benevolent One taking a decision over the fate of whoever she meets; never disrespect an Eye of the Gods, and never speak out of line, for you are speaking directly to the Mother of All, and you may very well be cursed for all eternity. Be gentle and show your devotion and pure heart, and you will be rewarded with a fortunate fate.
Many stories tell that the Benevolent One can read the River of Time, and many tales present that gift in the form of omens that managed to save them from catastrophes or disasters. Some stories suggest that she took over the role of protecting Etaliari in place of her brother, the Lonely One, but why she puts so much effort in preserving it, nobody could ever tell...
