Dearest freedom,
I have been living for almost two centuries, surviving different wars, and was preserved just to be gifted to every Emperor who takes the throne.
Before, I was glad to receive this power. Given by Gods and Goddesses until I realized it was never a gift at all. It was a curse.
I am a siren, the one who sings to fulfill a will. I served as a priestess praying for blessings and prosperity of the empire, and one day heavenly bodies answered my prayer.
They grant me to live forever, watch the leaves as it grows and as it falls. See the sun as it rises and as it falls. They grant me a beautiful voice to be able to dazed all listeners and grand what they desire.
As I receive it, I never knew what exactly am I facing.
I realized that humans are greedy, they captured me and gifted me to the Emperor. It was me in exchange for wealth, and a noble title. When the Emperor learn the range of what can I do.
He wishes for power, he wishes to make my voice a weapon to anyway who will harm his throne. Make me his sword to defeat nobles who will challenge his authority.
When he died, I taught I would be free. Excited on this idea but not until, I was caged again and the new emperor learn the things that her brother did to me.
He treat me like I'm a doll the one who will submit to him and obeyed everything he said and if I don't? Scars and violence can be seen tattoo on my body.
The next Emperor who found me within the basement, caged by the powers of Archmage so that the no one will know.
Stories of singing siren flies within the Empire, different tales have arise. They said when I sing I bring disaster, some say I'll grand wishes but have consequences. Singing siren become a folktales not knowing some part of it was actually true.
The third emperor who found me, treated me like a human being. For the first time, after being abused for what I can do. I can finally live freely.
He allows me to roam around a castle, take care of me and never ask me to sing. At that time I was still distance with him but then later on I began to fall inlove with him.
We confess about having feelings each other, but then there comes the sin. I was introduced as his Concubine by that time and it took a whole in my heart.
Then there he arrives, the man who's gentle as wind, who's calm like nature and who's beauty cannot be justified by anything. He was a knight, a great knight that has achievements longer than anyone can tell.
I fell for him, and there I plan to runaway with him but the Emperor knew what's running to my mind. There I saw, what he truly are. He chained me saying I betrayed him.
He abuse me like all the emperor done to me, he chain me to the basement wall so that I can never meet the man of my life.
Until the end of his life, who was taken by his son due to rebellion. He never freed me until the end and haunted me until the end.
By the time someone will be reading this, I've decided to end this long suffering of mine. Let the bean lives within the range of my wishes, may the god and goddesses grace me with it's mercy.
Letitia
