Zorya - Guardian goddesses.

The Zorya are the two guardian goddesses, known as the Auroras. They guard and watch over the doomsday hound, Simargl, who is chained to the star Polaris. Zorya Utrennyaya, the Morning Star, opens the gates of the Sun Gods palace every morning for the sun-chariot's to leave. At dusk, Zorya Vechernyaya—the Evening Star—closes the palace gates once more after his return.

Zorya Utrennyaya is depicted as a warrior goddess, fully armed and courageous, and was invoked to protect against death in battle.
