===Ascension===
In a fierce battle that shook the heavens and the seas, the previous Sky God fought with the former Sea God and their battle lasted for centuries until they eventually snuffed each other’s flame and both died. Witnessing this from her unique home inside a live whale, a young mage girl felt the sea's call to rise and fill the void left behind. With the ocean's blessing, she stepped forth, transforming from a powerful mage into the new, mighty Goddess of the Sea, ready to calm the waves and guide the sailors once more as she proved to have been harboring a spectacular power harnessed in secrecy within the whale she lived in.
