Normally when children are born, they will cry because of the loss of warmth of their mother's womb and have now been brought out, feeling like a fresh fish on land.
But for Marilla and Adamaris' daughter, Scylla, her tears were not caused by unfamiliarity.
No, her cries started because of the loud world she was suddenly forced into.
Sirens from birth have all their powers they must master over time, or else they become uncontrollable to the point it hurts them and others.
What a memory it must have been for her mother, to hear her new born baby let out a shrill, ear rupturing scream because the monitors in the room were beeping a little too loud.
Or the sound of heels and dress shoes clicking against the smooth hospital floors beyond the door. Even other mothers who were giving birth at the same time.
Everything was loud.
From the wind outside to the breathing indoors.
Luckily for Scylla, it was a long-known family doctor. And her parents came well prepared.
Almost instantly Adamaris' had activated the soundproof mode in the room. And the relief was immediate.
Scylla's cries had stopped, but her suffering never ended.
It was always, what sirens call, "The First Sound" that truly made them aware that this was a life-long pain to go through, not the temporary ones that came and went like seasons.
Her father went through it, her mother went through it, and now Scylla was going through it through the ages.
And she just wishes one day the entire world could fall silent. Maybe then she'll get the peace she's been seeking for so long. . .
