Frozen Beyond [gxg]

Fossegrim & Sirens

A hand slapped against the railing. It's fingers blue and webbed but in the shape of a human. When the rest of the creature lifted over the edge and pulled itself up...

It looked like a nude man with ashen blue skin. His body was muscular, his chest broad with thick pectoral muscles and large biceps. His feet were webbed just like his hands, wet black hair scrawled across his face. In one hand, he held a fiddle which he clasped at his side.

Keahi's hands went straight to Elsa's eyes to cover them. "What the hell is that? Put some clothes on!" Keahi shouted.

Elsa's cheeks heated before Keahi covered her eyes and she caught sight of...ahem... the nude man's body.

Is that what she was "missing" because she certainly wasn't impressed.

Jarrah snickered, clearly both he and Keahi didn't take the threat seriously. "Hey Keahi, ever wish you had one?"

Keahi wrinkles her nose. "No, why?"

"Think of all the talented things you could —" Jarrah started.

"I don't need one to do the things I do now." Keahi interrupted.

Elsa's cheeks heated further and she swatted at Keahi's arm, who cackled in response.

The creature hissed and took a few steps forward, placing the fiddle to its shoulder and started to play. The song was haunting and somber as it cried over the ship, washing over everyone that worked on deck.

The creature hissed again, annoyed when neither Elsa nor Keahi took a step forward.

Elsa lifted Keahi's hand up to peek out of one eye. "I think that's a..." she tried to remember all the interesting folklore books she read as a child. She had poured over so many books in the silent prison of her room. "...Fossegrim, like the male version of a siren, I think?" Elsa murmured.

"Oh." Keahi smirked at the Fossegrim. "Sorry buddy I haven't been with a man since puberty hit." Keahi mocked.

Elsa gasped, "You've been with a man?" She asked, she didn't know why the edge of jealousy crept into her line of vision now.

Keahi practically choked on the question, "Sure, I was young and confused once."

However, Jarrah and Saphire started to walk forward in a trance, along with a few men on deck.

"Uh oh." Keahi glanced around and ran in front of Jarrah and Saphire. Jarrah was a very large man, and trying to push against his broad chest had no effect. But she managed to grab onto Saphires wrist to keep her from walking to the edge of the ship.

Elsa looked around at the handful of men that started towards the railing. She shot out a blast of ice that glued the men's feet to the deck and did the same for Jarrah and Saphire.

Keahi wheezed out a breath before narrowing her eyes at the Fossegrim and stomping over to it. Grabbing the fiddle from its slimy hands, before shooting off a blast of fire that toppled him over the edge of the ship. She then cast the fiddle on fire, waiting for most of it to smolder to ash before tossing it overboard and dusting her hands off.

Elsa came up to her and watched the amused grin spread on Keahi's lips as Keahi held up a hand for a high five. Elsa couldn't help but smile back and lightly tapped her hand into the high five. When she did, Keahi swept her up, picking her up off the ground and holding her just under her thighs.

Elsa clung to her neck and grinned, "We make a good team."

"Always, Snowflake." Keahi responded cheerfully before angling them over to Jarrah and Saphire who seemed to just be coming out of their Fossegrim trance.

Jarrah shook his head and slapped his cheek, like he was trying to get the song out of his head. "Ouch. Men, my weakness. Yeesh."

Saphire huffed and shook her head, crossing her arms bitterly. "At least you don't have weaknesses to both." She grumbled.

Keahi looked around at some confused men and rubbed her face into Elsa's chest, chuckling. "If anyone questioned their sexuality today, it was answered for them."

A more serene, whimsical melody floated through the air. Someone was singing. It was beautiful and sounded like a breezy morning sunrise.

Hands started along the side of the ship on both sides as both Sirens and Fossegrim pulled themselves into the boat. At least a dozen made their way onto the deck.

The sirens were pale, having a rainbow sheen to them as if they had thin scales over the tops of their bodies. Their hair all different colors from red to brown, most of their hair was long and covered their nude chests. Like the Fossegrim, their hands and feet were webbed.

Their song became stronger and Keahi loosened her grip on Elsa, she slid down the length of Keahi's body and glanced up at her.

Keahi's eyes swirled with a fog. When Elsa looked around, everyone's eyes had a fog and they were moving to the railing in a trance.

Elsa went to spray ice along everyone's feet, but her body stopped and wouldn't respond. A fog settled heavy in her head, the enchanting voice got warmer, brighter. She couldn't resist the call.

She felt trapped in her own head. Even as her feet started to move, she screamed at herself to stop. She tried to look to see where Keahi was, but no matter how hard she tried to turn her head, she couldn't.

Her body was moving in one direction, towards the brunette Siren who was smiling too broadly and her mouth looked too wide.

No, no no. All she could do was scream into the void of her mind. When she got close, the Siren gave her an open-mouthed smile that revealed pointed teeth and a sharp tongue.

The Siren reached out with webbed fingers and played with the fabric of her cowl, before tugging her violently and sending them both over the edge of the ship.

Elsa sucked in a deep breath before she crashed into the water, closing her eyes tightly and begging for her body to release from the Sirens control.

Deeper into the depths they went, the Siren dragging her down further. The sound still echoing in the murky depths. The pressure in her ears popped and her chest begged for air.

She was going to die.

Bubbles escaped her as her body yearned for air and gave into deprivation, the edges of her vision blurred black.

Then the Siren hissed as a bolt of lightning lit the nebulous depths below. It caused her to look away just for a moment, just enough to lose her hold on Elsa's cowl.

Nokk let out a violent whinny as he galloped under water and slammed into the Siren. Using the weight of his body to shove her down into the depths. The song cut off angrily.

Elsa gasped, her mind clearing. She swam upwards, but there was no way she'd be able to break the surface before every ounce of oxygen was depleted.

Nokk swam under her and galloped towards the surface. When they broke through it forcibly, Elsa took in a ragged breath and collapsed on Nokks back. She only took enough time to catch her breath before she made reigns of ice and ushered Nokk to gallop back towards the boat.

She couldn't rest yet.
