As a dragged down the 99th sailor, my three younger sisters, Moana, Marina and Marley, cheered for me
As soon as I was sure the man was dead, I let go and let him sink to the bottom, but it'll soon float up later anyway.
I saw father swim towards us.
"Congratulations Coral, you only need to drown one more sailor to become siren queen."
I smiled, my sisters giggled.
"I wonder who she'll choice as her king?"
Marley laughed.
My other sisters "oooh~"ed at her comment.
I never really thought about it, I wasn't appealed by the thought of sirons.
"I know a cute siron from Narwalreaf!"
Marina joked.
"now now, girls, let her decide by herself. You never know, she might not even want a king."
My father said.
I was so grateful for him. He's the only one keeping me sane.
"a new ship is coming it tomorrow, you can drown the captain of it"
I squealed with excitement, finally, I don't have to drown poor sailors anymore, I honestly feel bad for the poor fellas.
We just continued our day like normal, and went to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up extra early to look my finest, I gotta look perfect for my last sailor.
Then, I practiced my singing, everyone in our kingdom thought mine was particularly good, they say I got it from my mother.
As soon as I seen the boat, I set off, my father had told me the plan.
Sit on a rock and lure him in, easy, right?
Well, I was rather wrong.
When I reached the surface, I was about to get on top of the rock when I realised,
The captain was a girl.
The most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
I panicked, and rushed down to inform my father.
"Father! Father!"
I called.
"yes, Coral?"
"the- the captain of the ship."
"what about him?"
"it's a girl!"
My father laughed.
"oh, no worries, you'll be fine, let's just hope she's into girls."
"but- but-"
"don't worry, your mother had to deal with plenty of girls too, you'll do fine, you do have the best siren voice I've ever heard"
"okay, father"
I would've lured her in like any old captain, but, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Was I catching feelings for a sailor?
No, no, I couldn't be, that's not allowed.
I went to check my 374 Rules For Sailor-drowning book.
Okay, let's see...
Falling in love with a sailor...
'Falling in love with a victim is against the Siren code, yet it was broken by Ocean Blue in 1547, she was later executed and her younger sister, Pearl Blue, with given the throne'
Wow, I feel so much better.
Wait, I could just leave Sharksburrow and start a new life in the above world.
Yeah, I'll sit on a near by island so she can find me and rescue me!
Perfect!
