>
> THE SEDUCTION OF TARAHELERA
> Tarahelera the Blue Woman is a lovely and desired Water goddess
whose
> gentle rains bring fertility. She was one of the many Water gods
that
> followed in the wake of the invasion of the Sky during the Gods
War.
>
> When Jagrekriand - the evil Red God - defeated the Water Gods, his
> brother, the Sky God Venebain, captured Tarahelera and took her as
his
> concubine. As a result, Tarahelera stopped bringing her gentle rain
> to our ancestors. Ernalda knew that without her rains, the people
of
> the Storm Tribe would suffer and she told her lover Niskis to steal
> Tarahelera and bring her to the Storm Tribe.
>
> Niskis and his companion Yinkin the Cat went to the Sky and snuck
into
> the Golden Hall of the Sky Gods. With Yinkin's help he avoided the
> guards - and bypassed the terrible baying hound Rowdril. He made
his
> way through the labyrinth of chambers and apartments and made his
way
> to Tarahelera's chamber.
>
> Hidden, Niskis saw the beautiful Blue Woman dance and was smitten
with
> her. Niskis emerged from his hiding place and sang her a poem he
had
> composed. The young god seduced the Blue Woman and charmed into
> coming with him willingly. Tarahelera showed Niskis a secret way
out
> of the palace and the three fled the Golden Hall together.
>
> When Jenebain discovered that Tarahelera was gone, he charged out
> after Niskis. However, Jenebain did not summon his master
> Jagrekriand, and Niskis defeated him and his companions. Niskis
then
> fled the Sky and returned to the Storm Tribe with Tarahelera, who
> blessed the people of the Storm Tribe with her gentle summer rains.
