One day, a vessel with several men approaches an island where a siren boy lives. He employs his magic, putting them into a deep slumber, but one male sailor is unaffected.

The siren boy becomes bewildered about why the enchantment didn't work. The male sailor jumps off the ship to the island's bay, strolls along the shore, and heads towards the forest.

The boy stares enormously into the sailor's figure with hatred and follows the man into the forest.

The boy sings out loud until the sailor hears his song. The sailor overhears a soft murmur, slowly becoming a song. The boy hides in the silhouette of the trees, desperately trapping the sailor with his magic.

He even reshaped the forest, converting it into the sailors' worst nightmares, but unfortunately, the siren failed again.

He constructed horrifying creatures, but the sailor didn't flinch. He drew his dagger, swiftly striking the heart of the animals.

The siren boy groaned in annoyance and observed his next action. He secretly followed the sailor, assuming he didn't notice him, but that was far from the truth.

The sailor was aware of the boy, catching his stunning blue eyes. The sailor stopped walking, closed his eyes, and concentrated on the boy's presence.

"You have been taunting me this entire journey. Who dares to follow me?" the sailor demanded, hovering over his dagger with his hand.

His intimidating aura swarms around him, making the boy whimper. The boy covered his mouth and widened his eyes, confused as to why he made that noise, wondering what enchantment he hexed him with. The sailor smirked at the boy's anxious aura. He can tell the shift in the boy's demeanor.

"Once again, who dares to follow me? Reveal yourself," the sailor ordered again, with more venom in his voice.

The boy slowly emerged from the sailor's vision, breathing heavily, struggling to stand.
The sailor's eyes scanned down the boy's body.

"You got some nerve, toying with me," the sailor stated, watching the boy huff and suffocate.

The boy grits his teeth, glaring at the sailors' emerald eyes. The sailor signed before vanishing his smoldering aura, eyeing the boy coughing, holding a tree to support his balance.

"Why are you here?" the boy questioned with his raspy voice aware of the sailors' motive.

The boy is still coughing from the choking force of his aura. He steadily straightened up, his legs trembling with apprehensiveness.

"I'm here, looking for the glass-stain mirror. I assume you heard of it," the sailor said, staring instantly at the boy. He looked up from the ground, questioning the male before him.

"I may have. Why? Are you looking for it?" the boy asked, his breathing stabilized.

"I am, yes, but additional information is not important to you," the sailor said, turning around and walking away from the boy.
He quickly caught up with the sailor and persisted in the discussion.

"How do you know that the mirror is on this island?" the boy asked, stepping over branches and moving leaves.

"Why am I here then?" the sailor asked sarcastically, walking quickly, expecting to lose the boy.

"Are you going to follow me forever?" the sailor asked, glancing behind him, monitoring the boy's struggle to keep up.

"Why not? I also want to see the mirror," the boy stated, looking up from the ground, facing the sailor.
