A/N: Hello! I got the idea for this story after listening to Rage of Poseidon by Apocalyptica and The Siren by Nightwish. Juvia was originally supposed to be a siren, but I figured a naiad would work more with the story, and her powers( Sirens technically aren't associated as spirits of water). Obviously, I'm basing this off of Greek Mythology, so I sort of created a "Greek like time period" for Earthland. I hope this story doesn't get boring...
EDIT: Redid the chapter after my beta (Thanks KatieDusk<3) noticed my mistakes, hehe. I also made it longer as I felt like I was kinda running on. It's been over a year since I've written anything and it shows. I also made a playlist of songs I listened to get into the mood to writing.
(Though if you don't like classical, opera or metal this isn't for you xD)

"Who tied my hands to the wheel?
The zodiac turn over me
Somewhere my fate revealed
I hear, but how will I see?"
The Siren-Nightwish
The ship rocked back, and forth as a young man stood at the bow, glazing over the vast sea. He had a bad feeling about this. The water seemed to be getting rougher, and the sky was starting to darken. I feel a storm coming. He thought. I hope cargo doesn't get damaged. Hearing a noise, he looked over to see his best friend, Natsu leaning over the rail of the ship. He looked like he was about to vomit.
"Really, Natsu?" He shook his head. "Why do you take these jobs if you know you can't handle it." His friend had been taking jobs along with him, even though he suffered from severe motion sickness...or in this case, seasickness.
The other young man groaned. "Grayyy...You know I need to make money...I need to make enough...money to support Lucy, and Nashiiii..."
Gray was surprised he could even mumble a sentence as sick as Natsu was. Natsu Dragneel has been Gray's friend since childhood. Though they fought, sometimes even getting into fistfights, he really did care for the other man as a brother. Natsu's wife Lucy was pregnant. Though they were part of the lower class in society, Natsu wanted his wife and child to live comfortably, taking every job he could to make sure of that. Gray felt a little jealous given he didn't have a family of his own. His dad left when he was just a baby, and his mother has gotten sick, and passed away. He was originally working to help support her, but now he didn't even know why he continued working on this ship.
"Why are you already giving in a name?" Gray asked, as he pulled himself from his own thoughts.
Natsu smiled lightly. " It's was Lucy's idea. She thinks it will be a girl, so we started calling the baby Nashi."
Gray snorted. "She ain't gunna to know what it is until it's born you, dunderhead."
The sick young man shot his friend a look that said 'If you don't shut the hell up I will punch you...if I could move.'
Gray walked up to Natsu, and patted him on the back. "You better get used to this, buddy. It seems like a storm is coming."
