Kai

**Kai** is the former human beast goddess of Estra and is the godess of Sacrifice. She is alive, but slowly losing her conciousness she no longer has enough magic to protect herself from the void

## Personality and Appearance

She is brave, self-sacrificing, and wise. She does not care for violence but is unafraid of confronting her enemies. Similar to Maeri, she does not like being a burden to others and does not enjoy being babied.

There is no clear description of the appearance of the goddess's original form other than being a human female. As the immortality of her physical form is taken from her due to the Khastra, she decides to transfer her spirit and godly essence to the body of her daughter in order to continue protecting her people, and continues to sacrifice her daughters to continue living until her last child, Maeri. Because of this, her appearance always changes with each new vessel she takes. She is always depicted with crow feather earrings, deer antler bracelets, and a wolf tooth necklace, however.

In the Dream Realm and the Void, she takes on the form of a wolf with black, tar-like feathers, and a crown of horns. This happens when she can't make herself look human, implying that this is actually her true form.

## Mythology of the Goddess

In Avelis, the goddess is known by the name of Kai. Not much else is known about her in the world below.

### Childhood

As a child, she is given as an offering to Fenrir due to a year of scarcity in her village. Rather than killing her, Fenrir took her in as a part of his pack to teach her strength. Exploring the sacred forests, she is caught by Cernunnos, who decides to teach her all the knowledge and magic he knows. With this magic, she ventures outside of the forests. Muninn, god of the Crows, approaches her on the cliffs and teaches her how to survive and explore the farthest reaches of the world. At each encounter, she is unafraid but asks the gods for a quick death, and they choose not to kill her.

### Adulthood

She brokers peace between the beast clans and makes a home in the center of the forests. She takes in and cares for the refugees of the war. As the fires of war start to ravage the world, she raises the forest into the sky with the power of the beast gods, Cernunnos, Muninn, and Fenrir.

In Estra, she is worshipped and keeps the island afloat. Torva brings the sword of Beliuis in an attempt to woo her, but she rejects his advances by shoving the sword in his gut. In revenge, Torva works with Atum, The Snake, to create the Khastra. He sends the Khastra to poison the Goddess as she sleeps. Fenrir kills the serpent but is too late; the Goddess's immortality is stolen by the monster's poison. However, she reassures the gods that Estra will remain afloat. She becomes pregnant and steadily becomes weaker as it progresses. In preparation for the birth, Fenrir brings her deep into the forest, where Cernunnos builds a bed of grass while Muninn builds a nest for the child.

From this point on, she uses continues this cycle of reincarnation; using her children as a vessel for her godly essence. With each incarnation, she retains the memories of the past.
