The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle. The most mysterious and eerie, yet enchanting place in all the Seven Seas. A feat every pirate crew can but dream about. Many ships have fallen, and crews lost by the hands of these dangerous waters. The only question...is why? What is it that takes countless voyagers and makes them cease to ever exist?

The Bermuda Triangle is located in the Western portion of the Northern Atlantic Ocean. Three points connected from Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the bottom of North America. The entire triangle is covered with thick, dense fog with visibility only directly in front of you. Countless pirate crews have tested their luck against the dangers that may lurk beneath the fog. The whole perimeter of the triangle is surrounded by sharp, jagged rocks with only just enough space for one ship to enter.

No one really knows what creatures lie beyond the terrifyingly suspicious rocks. Only that the most dangerous of all beings lure the ships inside to their deaths. No one is able to overcome the horrifying beasts. Something about how they're magnificently enchanting yet terrifyingly dangerous at the same time. Rumors have spread, from the nearby islands, of the most beautifully sweet and alluring voice of a woman singing just beyond the edge of the rocks.

It's always the same song, but beautiful nonetheless. There has even been word that the women of every household on the Main Lands have to lock up their homes in order to keep their husbands concealed. Many widows have claimed they've lost their husbands to the viciously sweet song the mysterious woman sings. She's able to lure any man between the ages 18 to 40. No one knows exactly what she looks like, only that her voice enchants late teen to middle-aged men.

She hides behind the rocks until the right moment comes...that's when she strikes. During the day, countless men from the nearby islands teamed up to thoroughly search the rocks, but cam up empty. She was no where in sight. It seems she only appears at night when her targets are tucked in bed or nodding off in a sleepy daze. More or less, she strikes at their most vulnerable moment. Eventually, after years of searching for the mysterious woman, then men discovered a clue to who she might be...or to be more specific...what she might be.

The morning after another 18-year-old went missing, the men found traces of a single shimmering, vibrant turquoise scale. Once returning home with their first ever clue, everyone throughout the Main Lands dug their nose into their books, eager to solve the mystery behind the eerie woman. Finally, it was confirmed by one of the elderly women who owns her own bookstore that their mystery woman is none other than a creature known as a Siren.

Sirens are commonly known across the Seven Seas by countless crews of pirates and voyagers. Not very many Main Land people ever experience one first-hand since practically all colonies of Sirens prefer to reside away from civilization. They normally choose to appear in random rocky areas or caves located more towards the center of any large body of water. So, it was obviously suspicious to have a Siren this close to land.
