'Just one more question. Well, two questions. Did the Goddess ever get her voice back, and has anyone met her?' 'She did, but no one knows how. It's a mystery! The Goddess does not like showing herself to people, but she had to when it came to fixing the rum situation.' 'Maybe, I will get to meet her,' Jacques said proudly. The Captain chuckled, 'My boy, you might get to.' From that day forward, Jacques sailed the seven seas waiting for the time he would get the opportunity to meet the Goddess. As Jacques sailed on the ocean, he heard the same humming sound as the Captain once did before him. In a tale of adventure and forbidden love, Jacques, the captain of the ship Sparrow, has been sailing the seas ever since he heard a mysterious voice from the ocean. This voice belongs to Arieshell, a siren who has controlled the waves for millennia. When she encounters Jacques's ship, she falls in love with him. The story explores whether Jacques and Arieshell can find what they are searching for despite the challenges of their different worlds. ------ The cover credit goes to @lorenasanz15 The banner credit goes to @starisredy Character Aesthetics credits edible_autumn Word count Goal: 85,000-115,000 Word Count: 177,928 ----- Highest Rankings 🥇 #1 in Sirens - 11/08/25 🥇 #1 in Sailors - 11/15/25
