The thing with Sirens

Lionel didn't know where to start or how to. Either.
The king had sent him on a wild goose chase to find this siren.
Ryan. That human fish would be in the the Middle of the burban river by now.
The burban. But elves nor humans were allowed in the sea below.
What if he dressed up as a siren?
Dive into the burban river and find the mermaid.
But how would he find this 'Ryan' in the swarms of mermaids in the sea.
He had read every book,novel,documentary on mermaids but found nothing that could help him.
That's it,I'll be bitten by a siren Lionel thought.
"No,I think that's vampires" A voice spoke up.
He'd recognise that voice from any where.
Lanner.
"Lann,how do you keep finding me?Last time I saw you was at west tower" Lionel asked, sincerely tired of seeing lanner.
The illegitimate child of King Azariah, King of silvercity.
Home to humans and vampires.
Vampires weren't allowed to bite the humans without their consent.
Only the royal family could bite the humans after the humans were heavily paid by the royal family.
His half brother,son of King Azariah.
Lionel remembered his dad who died mysteriously.
"Lionel,I see king alfion sent you on a quest" Lanner said,hiding a grin on his face.
"How did you..." Lionel tried to say.
"Don't ask. But if you had just shot the fish,you wouldn't be in this mess" Lanner said,hissing.
"Unlike you,I have a conscience" Lionel replied.
"Conscience my foot!You were on top of the aristocratic ladder being your kings right hand man continuing dads legacy in honour,till you chose to show mercy on a sea dweller", Lanner spat,his response a little too quick.
Lionel sighed, Lanner was just whinning just as always.
Now, all he had to do was to find that...
" Siren!"Lanner screamed,pointing at something.
Lionel looked to the direction of his finger and saw a mermaid sitting on a high arched rock singing.
What a beautiful voice!Even the King's top elf singers couldn't dare try sing like this.
And let's not talk about its beauty.
Her silver coloured hair cascading down her shoulders, her angelic face.
Her shell bra tops were the best of the shell sculptors work.
"Quit admiring the siren and kill it"
Lionel was still staring this all he heard what lanner said and looked at him like a frightened chicken.
"Why would I do that?" Lionel asked, not tearing his gaze from the siren.
"Why wouldn't you do that?You're on the elf side she's a siren and do you know how much well get for a mermaid.
Well be rich"
"Lanner,that's just cruel all that siren deserves is a cute husband" Lionel said.
Lanner chuckled."And what's so funny?"Lionel asked.
"Oh nothing,it's just that you want to marry a siren.
Its forbidden,even father would be shaking his head in the grave"
"That doesn't mean I'm going to marry her,she's just cute"
Lanner clenched his jaw as Lionel continued staring.
"Quit the staring, I'm ending this" Lanner suddenly said,bringing out his bow and arrow.
"Lanner No!" Lionel shouted, as he saw a flying arrow darting through the air heading straight for the sirens forehead.
