Au - The One of Land, Sea, and Sky

Context - At some time shortly after Orange and Sabre had met Rainbow Red, he found out that Sabre was a siren and kidnapped him.

———————————————————————————

     I look out across the room for my captor from my small golden cage hanging from the ceiling. I'm in some kind of combs and I can tell that there's some kind of spirit and corrupted energy here, other than my captors own mind.

     Siren Songs are split into seven broad categories. Although if split more specifically, there's no end. Song of Peace, Song of Life, Song of Seduction, Song of Oblivion, Song of Sweet Sleep, Song of Healing, and Song of Destruction.

     My captor, Rainbow Red or whatever, and me only singing songs of destruction, specifically of insanity. Songs that are only used to completely ruin and destroy one's body, mind, and even soul.

     My throat feels like it is bleeding me dry and to death, as if someone forced a lit match down my throat. He's had me singing nonstop since he captured me a few days ago. I only get breaks when he leaves to go get more materials for whatever machine he's building to the left of me.

     I'm too weak to sing more than one more song now, I might actually sing myself to death if I do. So I'm going to take the risk and try to sing a song of death and hope that it works.

     I feel the feelings of corrupted mind become even more prevalent, Rainbow Red is back....

     He finally ordered me to start to sing again, it's now or never..

     "Hear my voice beneath the sea Sleeping now so peacefully, At the bottom of the sea, Sleep for all eternity. Sailors live so restlessly, Come with me, sleep peacefully, Listen to this siren's song, Worry not for nothing's wrong. Let my voice lead you this way, I will not lead you astray, Trust me as we reach the side, Jumping out where men have died. Hear my voice beneath the sea, Sleeping now so peacefully, At the bottom of the sea, Sleep for all eternity. Let the ocean fill your lungs, Struggle not, soon peace will come, Taking in your final breath, Sink down to the ocean's depths. "I wish I could always be In the ocean's arms, you see", He who'd wanted nothing more, Sleeps now at the ocean floor. Ocean was your lover's name, You had loved her all the same, Now you'll always be together, Sirens are so very clever. Hear my voice beneath the sea, Sleeping now so peacefully, At the bottom of the sea, Sleep for all eternity."

     By the time I finished singing the corrupted battery was on the floor on the brink of death. And I felt like I was dying as well.

     The song had rotted and rusted everything around us, causing the chain holding my cage to the ceiling start to give out. That is when I start to hear a strange voice, oddly echoey.

     "It is not your time yet and even so you don't deserve to be trapped here." Next thing there is a blinding light and me and my rotted cage are now hanging inside of me and Oranges house.

     Orange, Shy, Yellow, Orange Leader, Yellow Leader, the Yellow Leader's Guard, Indigo, Blue, and Gerald are all having a meeting. When they stop and stare at me and my sudden appearance.

     And though I'm currently still stuck in a cage something tells me I'm going to be okay.
