Elizabeth began humming a melody while braiding Ailanna's hair. The eldest daughter of Poseidon was considered the mother figure of the girls which never bothered Elizabeth. Considering she has been the only women figure the girls could look up to.
"Ailanna please hold still while I braid your hair Father wouldn't want his daughters looking like a mess now would he"
"Yes Elizabeth" Ailanna mumbled slightly pouting before trying to remain still for her sister
Ailanna watched carefully as her sister continued braiding her hair listening to her sisters soft humming Ailanna felt content.
"Elizabeth could you teach me that song"
"You are too young to be singing a song like this Ailanna"
"No I'm not" Ailanna shouted turning her head around facing her sister
"Yes you are now please face forward so I can finish your hair ailanna"
Pouting Ailanna complied still angered by her sister.
"Will you ever teach me?" Ailanna question
"Yes but I do have to warn you Ailanna our songs aren't like anyone else's" Elizabeth mumbled
"What do you mean?"
"Well they are almost like spells in a way hypnotizing in better terms"
"Hypnotizing?"
"Ailanna our songs have a lot of emotions you should only sing when you feel these emotions and one day I'll teach you about it but for now you are to young to understand" Elizabeth uttered placing a flower into Ailanna hair
"But Elizabeth please I really want to learn that song"
"Ailanna I cant if father were to find out he'd be very angry" Elizabeth said shaking her head
Elizabeth knew her sister had a talent to sing. She was worried though of how powerful her sisters voice could be.
"He won't I promise please just teach me the first verse"
Looking at her sister who was filled with so much curiosity it reminded Elizabeth of her wanting to learn the song.
"Alright Ailanna I'll teach you the song but don't sing this song around anyone but yourself and me understood"
Nodding her head Ailanna hugged her sister with a smile.
"Thanks Elizabeth"
"Your welcome my dear Ailanna"

"Upon one summer's morning I carefully did stray Down by the Walls of Wapping Where I met a sailor gay Conversing with a young lass Who seem'd to be in pain Saying, William, when you go I fear you'll ne'er return again My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold" the enchanting voice singed with eyes closed. Ailanna felt at peace when singing the soft melody it reminded her of home.
Standing outside her room Steve winced in pain from the battle wound he suffered earlier in the day. Bruce had told him to go upstairs to get his shoulder checked out and he reluctantly complied. Wrapped up into his own thoughts Steve started to hear the familiar voice sing a strange melody.
Unintentionally ignoring his name being called the super solider couldn't stop himself from waking towards her room.
While laying in her bed the goddess continued to sing. With her eyes closed she hadn't noticed her door been open. Still humming she heard heavy footsteps coming towards her direction. Ailanna looked to see the blonde super soldier eyes filled with a strange blue. Covering her mouth Ailanna abruptly stopped singing the soft melody. Watching the blonde collapse to the floor Ailanna watched the man grown in pain.
Coming to his senses Steve looked around him to notice his vision blurred. Standing on his two feet he stumbled for words taking in his surrounding. He realized he was in the mysterious girl room again.
"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me" he mumbled finally coming to his feet
He stood in silence gazing at the beautiful goddess. He felt consumed by her beauty yet angry wanting to know what she was.
"Who are you? Last time I heard this strange voice I some how end up in here in your room?" He questioned eyeing Ailanna who looked at the super solider with curiosity
"I don't know" she mumbled not wanting to tell the man her true origins feared she may be taken back
"I'm sorry for questioning you" he mumbled
"Please you do not need to fear me"
Her eyes looked to the super solider seeing the sincerity in his eyes. Her voice began to crack trying to speak.
As he stood with his head low he made his way to her door.
"Ailanna" she mumbled
"Ailanna is my name" she said slightly louder
Steve turning his head seeing the goddess from the corner of his eyes. He was captive by her beauty wondering how a women could be so beautiful. Shaking his head trying to ignore his desirable thoughts. His mother would be disappointed in him for staring at a women for so long.
"I'm Steve if you need anything please let me know" he mumbled not turning his direction toward the girl
She had a small faint smile watching him leave.
As he left her room closing the door, the super soldier looked at his shoulder noticing the bleeding was gone. Shaking his head he looked towards her room with curiosity.
