You may think that sirens are terrible, ugly creatures. That we're odd looking creatures who have features of a bird from the waist down and a body of a woman from the waist up. How we have stupid magical instruments that we play while sitting on top of a rock.
Well, you're wrong.
We aren't half-bird ugly creatures with no soul that waste precious time blowing on a silly instrument. If you humans listen to other legends, then you might be right.
There was one disgustable human who actually trapped a siren, who was able to resist her song, which is nearly impossible, who made a legend that is actually true. Let me tell you how real sirens are.
Sirens live on an island, called Anthemoessa, in the sea between Sicily and Italy. Huge boulders surround our island where ships would be destroyed if they ventured too closely. Our personality and appearance is most commonly known to be that of a seductive temptress. Her beauty has been said to reflect the wondrous treasures and power of the sea itself. Sirens sing songs to sea travelers to lure them to their, well, unimaginable deaths. Their songs are so enchanting that it would make sailors forget their sense of direction. The sailors would steer straight toward Anthemoessa and crash into the rocks that surrounded it.
Now that is true.
We are vile and the beautiful creatures. If someone or something said something was beautiful, they haven't seen a siren.
Now let me tell you our prime objective that that human forgot to mention.
Once every full moon, there are some special Sirens that can transform their beautiful tail into a hideous pair of human legs. See, the full moon is when our need for a mate is the strongest. A need to feed, thirst and repopulate our ever growing community.
I am in charge of this operation. It is my duty. You see, I'm the princess of Anthemoessa. My mother is the Queen of all of the Island. She has magical powers and she will do anything in her power to have us obtain as much power of humans as we can.
Someday we will rule the world, and humans will bow down to us.
At least, that's what she tells me anyway.
She told me there are rare humans. Ones that carry the most important power on the planet. And we are looking for one right now as we speak. You never know who had the secret power. We need that power to become stronger. That is the number one objective for us. Without it, we are weak and we will never be able to rule the human world.
Once we find him, it will be the end for him.
No one can ever resist the urge to come towards a Siren. No one. Except for that monstrous human that we must destroy.
My white teeth showed when I snarled. Just thinking about him made me mad and I don't even know him.
Oh, and there's another thing I forgot to mention. Once we start to transform into our hideous appendages, it stings. It's like your legs burn on fire. Nothing can put it out until you transform completely. When you start, you can't go back. But I can't show any pain because I'm the princess. I am tough. I have to show the other Sirens that they are big babies.
We are Sirens. We are inferior.
And this is my story.
