The Siren Clan

ch 1

Published November 6, 2016

My name is Kishōna Hana I am from the Siren clan of Rome. I am over 1000 years old. I was once the leader of my clan.

You've heard the stories told by sailors. Women with hypnotizing voices bringing men to their deaths. Like Siren, our voices are our weapons.

But long ago our clan was betrayed by the 1 human we trusted most. Her name was Valka, many years ago I had found her on our shores. Yes, shores, we did not live in a Castle like other gargoyles, no we lived on a beautiful island with white sandy beaches and bright blue water.

When I had found Valka she was only just a child not even ten she had long brown hair and bright green eyes.  When she had awakened at first she was terrified of us, but as soon as she saw that we were no threat to her she quickly relaxed.

She told us how her ship was wrecked at sea in the storm that was only but a day ago. Me and my sisters decided she would become part of the clan. Our clan was only made of females no males.

Males were forbidden from coming here. Our island was magical, the island decided what gargoyles were allowed to come here and who had to leave.

When a female gargoyle was not wanted or her clan was killed off the island would use its magic and bring them here where they would live with no judgment on what they looked like, or how they acted.

When we are on this island we do not turn to stone during the day. But each place has its flaws the 1 flaw of this island is that humans can come to it any time they please.

But as years went on Valka became different, she would leave the island then come back very late. Me and my sisters knew something was wrong but we had hoped we were wrong.

One day when Valka left the island but when she came back she did not come back alone. She brought with her ships upon ships of men all carrying nets and weapons.

Me and my sisters fought. But Valka told the men about our voices so they had covered their ears so they could not hear our voices.

I still hear the cries of my fallen sisters as they fell 1 by 1. My second in command dragged me away and made me leave our home.

We flew for many nights until we found another clan in Japan. The leader of their clan gave us names. He gave me the name of Kishōna Hana which means rare flower. I asked him why that name he told me

"because you have a heart as beautiful as a flower but you have a rare soul" I was shocked by his words.

He also gave my second in command a name Tenshi which means angel. He told her "you are as kind as an angel and will always give people hope when they think there is none" she blushed at what he said but said thank you.

While we were in Japan a wizard attacked us and put us and put us to sleep, that would last until a Castle would rise above the clouds.

He did not say which castle he just said a castle and there we sat for over a 1000 years till 1 night we awoken to find our selves in a cave somewhere in the woods.

When we awoken there was a scroll from Kakashi the kind gargoyle that gave us our names.

dear Kishōna Hana and Tenshi

If you are reading this then you have awoken from your slumber and that means our clan is no more while you were asleep we were attacked and I was the only survivor but I fear for not very long for I have been injured greatly I am using all the strength I have left to write this to you. I am sorry my friends but from this point on I can no longer help you but I ask of 1 thing from you. Please find my very old friend I have given you a painting of him which is in the chest along with 2 small gifts for you. I hope you like them. Stay safe my friends.

Sincerely your friend Kakashi

Me and Tenshi stood in shock we lost our clan again! We were sad and angry I gave the scroll to Tenshi and walked over to the trunk that Kakashi had left. I opened it and unrolled the painting

I study the painting before putting it into my satchel that's on my hip I grabbed the piece of cloth and unwrapped what was inside. I gasped as I saw two beautiful necklaces. That were almost identical

Tenshi came over and also gasped.

She picked up the blue one and studied it, admiring the bluestone with a design in the middle. I also studied the purple one that was still in my hand.

I put it around my neck and saw Tenshi do the same. We headed to the mouth of the cave to see we were in a forest I looked at Tenshi and gave her a nod which she returned we both jumped off the ground and started our search for the old gargoyle

P.s the Gargoyles from the siren Clan can fly not just sore or Glide like the other gargoyles
