"There's always a siren, singing you to shipwreck. Some of us may be more susceptible than others are, but there's always a siren. It may be with us all our lives, or it may be many years or decades before we find it or it finds us. But when it does find us, if we're lucky we're Odysseus tied up to the ship's mast, hearing the song with perfect clarity, but ferried to safety by a crew whose ears have been plugged with beeswax. If we're not at all lucky, we're another sort of sailor stepping off the deck to drown in the sea."
- Caitlín R. Kiernan

The Sound of a Siren's Call
When Arriana was born Deaf, it solved more problems than it caused. Unable to hear the call of the sirens who raised her, she never saw a problem.

With a heroic act and a show of defiance, Arriana finds a world she's not ready for. And a world that's not ready for her. Anything can happen. ~Completed, pending edits~ ***Finalist in Fantasy's EveryDayInMay fantasy worldbuilding contest*** #1 in lgbt and girlxgirl 7/7/2021 - 7/16/2021Terminé
