In Slavic Mythology Zorya are the two guardian goddesses, known as the Auroras.

They guard and watch over the winged doomsday hound, Simargl, who is chained to the
star Polaris in the constellation Ursa Minor, the "little bear". If the chain ever
breaks, the hound will devour the constellation and the universe will end. The
Zoryas represent the Morning Star and the Evening Star.

The Zoryas serve the sun god Da�bog, who in some myths is described as their
father. Zorya Utrennyaya, the Morning Star, opens the gates to the god's palace
every morning for the sun-chariot's departure. At dusk, Zorya Vechernyaya�the
Evening Star�closes the palace gates once more after its return. (Wiki)
