Hey Guys this is my new story. I have Davy Jones song stuck in my head. I couldn't find any good stories that had Sirens in it. So this is my first Siren Story and I really hope that you like it. At the end of each chapter I will list the songs that I used and pictures of what I find to help describe and put an image into your head so that you know what I am trying to describe.
This Chapter is long for many reasons because I want to be a good foundation down for a story than go straight into what is happening and confuse myself and you in the process and I do not want that to happen. This is a Inuyasha and Kagome fanfiction but I want the first couple of Prologues to be about what had come to be and I think that I want to have 3 prologues but name what each prologue is. Than Chapters will be with Inuyasha and Kagome. I think I may want this fanfiction to be long and paint a beautiful picture that is in my head. I already image what is going on when I write these so I know what I can to say.
Please enjoy my new Story, I am already in love with it.
Prologue 1: The Meeting of 2 Friends
Story of Aphrodite and Drake and the First Siren Born
"Izayoi, why are you not in bed yet?" an older woman said to her teenage daughter that was the image of the stars itself.
"Mom, can you tell me about the story on the siren again?" Izayoi said asking her mother with big puppy eyes. While looking out her balcony that laid the ocean that was just below her.
"What is your fasciation about this story anyways my child. I have told you this story many times. Don't you ever get tired of hearing it?" Her mother asked her with curiosity. "if I tell you the story will you finally go to bed?"
"Yes, of course mother" she exclaimed quickly knowing that she got her way. She walked away from the balcony and got into her as her mother walked towards her and sat at the side of her bed.
" In the days of myth and legend, the beautiful Aphrodite, daughter of Atlas, ruled the wine-dark seas, and all sailors everywhere both loved and feared her.
But because she too had mortal blood, Aphrodite fell in love with a young sailor, named Drake. And she rewarded that love by giving Drake the sacred task of collecting all the poor souls who died at sea, and ferrying them to the worlds beyond.
Now, because of that love, Drake agreed to set foot on dry land once every ten years. And if this love was true to him, his task would be complete, and a new Captain of the Dutchman would be found.
But whenever Drake came ashore, Aphrodite was nowhere to be found, for the seas are fickle and unpredictable, as was the powerful goddess who ruled that domain.
So, when the men of the sea - the Pirate Brethren - convened a great Conclave, Drake plotted with them to tear the rule of the seas away from Aphrodite. With his help, the Brethren tricked the goddess and imprisoned her into the body of a mortal woman.
Soon Drake's grief and guilt at what he had done became so great, he ripped his own heart - a heart that had betrayed him - right out of his chest, and locked it away. He then returned to the seven seas; only now sailors everywhere would fear him to the death, for Drake had turned fierce and cruel, with an insatiable taste for all things brutal.
But then an ambitious mortal, who himself wished to rule the seas, came into possession of the hidden beating heart of Drake. And this mortal knew that he could use that heart to make Drake do his bidding.
Soon an ancient and horrible creature of the darkest deep - known as the Kraken - appeared upon those seas. And this terrible beast brought the master of the Flying Dutchmanever more souls onto his cursed ship, dead sailors forever impressed into servitude.
Now those Pirate Lords grew ever more fearful. But when they convened again, they only argued and fought among themselves, so afraid were they of Aphrodite 's anger at their treachery.
But one of the brethren did not wait for agreement. Tricked by the goddess herself, he took all the tokens of their betrayal, the powerful items that had imprisoned Aphrodite...and he then undid the spell that bound her to mortal flesh. Now the goddess was free - and her wrath indeed became horrible to behold, and even worse to experience.
The enraged goddess Aphrodite gathered the waters of the ocean around herself in a giant whirlpool - a massive maelstrom - and a battle raged at the center of it. And it was in that very battle that Drake's heart was pierced and he died, finally free for all eternity.
With his death, Drake was welcomed back into the dark embrace of the seas; for Aphrodite in her own way still loved him. And his ship, the Flying Dutchman, received a new captain, and all was as it was meant to be.
Before the goddess Aphrodite went back to her final self she bore the sea a Siren. This became the first Siren born to curse men that Aphrodite grew to hate. Who had betrayed her very trust. After her first born, she made 10 more Sirens like her to doom all who came to close to them would come to their deaths. She named her first born Teles the Queen of Sirens."
3 Year Later
It was Izayoi's 18th birthday. Before her party she decided to adventure down to the shore line to feel the sand between her feet. Izayoi suddenly stopped when she hears the most beautiful sound in the world.
Into the sea
Hold you close to me
Slide 'neath the waves
Down into the caves
Izayoi felt so drawn to this voice as she wondered around trying to find who that voice belonged too. She can to a clearing where a clear lake stood with a waterfall. Within the waterfall she saw the most beautiful creature that she had ever laid eyes on. She stayed hidden as to watch this beautiful creature sing once again.
Kiss me my love
Come rest in my arms
Dream your dreams with me
Slide beneath the sea
Come to me my love
Forget the land above
Izayoi wondered why she was sing such a beautiful song. She even wondered if it was for someone else to hear. But the beautiful creature continued to sing as she bathed herself in the waterfall.
Oh, stay away from me
Release me from thy spell
Back to the land of life
Spell is all but gone
Now you're free!
Izayoi decided now would be the best time to set out from behind the tree she was hiding in. the creature slowly turned around to look at her which the creature did not seem surprised to see her. The creature came slowly to Izayoi from under the waterfall. What Izayoi saw took her breath away from her. The creature her had long black hair that went pass her feet and dragged on the ground. She had scales on her forearms and parts of her eyes but it made the creature even more beautiful. She had elfin ears that were so elegant. She had the most beautiful eyes that she ever did see, they were a beautiful shade of purple. Izayoi never seen anyone with eyes like that. As Izayoi came closer to the water she saw a tail within the water. After a long moments of silence Izayoi spoke up.
"Are you a demon?" Izayoi asked while never taking her eyes off the beautiful creature.
"Hehe, no dear I am not what you call a demon. I have been around longer than demons." The creature said in the most angelic voice.
"My name is Princess Izayoi and today I turn 18," Izayoi stated wanting to get to know the creature more and what this creature was.
"My name is Teles young one, ruler of the Seven seas." Teles said proudly of her up keeping.
"The Queen of Sirens? But I thought that those were only myths and legends passed down." Izayoi could believe her ears. This was not any creature she was a Siren. No wonder Teles was beautiful and this answered all future questions that the young princess could ever ask.
"Oh, you have heard of me then. You believe in demons but you don't believe in myths do you Izayoi?" Teles asked. Teles was starting to like this girl more and more as she enjoyed this conversion.
"My mother has told me the stories of how you came to be. I never thought that they would be true. I do believe in Demons Teles because in this world demons are real." Izayoi exclaimed.
"I like you Izayoi, I would like to be your friend." Teles said cutting to the chase. This threw Izayoi off. She knew what Sirens did and didn't know why this Siren wanted to be her friend.
"I do not want to be rude but why would a siren be my friend?" Izayoi exclaimed curious.
Teles asked Izayoi to sit with her as she explained why she wanted to be friends with her. Teles said that each Siren was allowed to have one friend that was on land but that friend can only be female since Siren despised men because of what Drake had did to her mother. Being friends with a Siren had its rewards though but they did come with a price. Teles explained to Izayoi if they were friends she would bless her mate so that he would never fall in the depths of her sea. If she had sons they would need to come to her as soon as they were born so she could bless the young boys so that her friend Izayoi would never lose a husband or her sons. But if Izayoi had a first-born daughter, she would have to agree to bring the daughter to the seven seas and give her up to the Sirens. For Sirens only are women and never men. Any daughters after that Izayoi would keep and would not have to give to the sea. If Izayoi agreed to the terms but if she ever double crossed the siren she would come and get her children and they will then belong to the sea forever. Sirens always kept their promises and would never want to hurt their friends and children. She would protect Izayoi's children with her life if she expected.
Izayoi thought long and hard and what was presented to her. What she knew about Sirens was that they hated men so these terms were very reasonable. She didn't ever want to lose the love of her life to these creatures of the sea. The only down size to this was that she would have to give up a daughter in return. An opportunity like this was only one in a life time and she would gladly accept the terms of this Siren before her.
"I accept your terms Teles but I want to make a promise to you for your kindness that you have shown me today. If I have a daughter first or second born she will be yours. I know that that my daughter will know who I am and will be in great care of my friend. As long as I get to see her grow." Izayoi said adding her terms in there as well.
"Hehe, I knew that I liked you for a reason. Izayoi, I Teles Queen of Sirens and the Seven Seas agree to the terms that we presented today. I will keep my word on this contract and I promise to protect those you love with my life as they will be a part of my family. Now to seal this contract I will need part of your soul and part of my soul will go to you my dear friend." Teles exclaimed to Izayoi. Izayoi listened closely to what Teles had said to her but all that needed to be done on her part was to accept that they will be soul bounded as friends for life.
"I Izayoi Princess of the Southern Lands, agree to the terms that the Queen of Sirens and the Seven Seas has presented today. I will honor our agreement and will never betray you as a friend. I agree to give half my soul to you as I agree to have part of your soul with me." Izayoi exclaimed sounding more like a Queen than just a Princess.
Teles was beyond happy with this agreement for she too was turning 18 in human years but has lived over 1800 centuries. Teles always had her sister Sirens but longed for a friend to share her life with. Teles held her hand out to her new friend to take. Izayoi openly grabbed Teles hand as she was being guided to the deep lake. Izayoi should have been scared when she saw Teles legs turn into a serpent like tail pulling her closer and closer into the water. Teles serpent tail was more beautiful than she had imaged. It was crystal blue with pearl purple through it and have light purple scales and soft fins on the sides of her tail. Her elfin ears grew longer as a crown of thorns appeared. It looked more like thorns than anything with jewels hanging down with a bright red jewel in the middle of the crown.
Teles was happy that Izayoi trusted her even though you should never trust a Siren but this was different in all cases. Teles was gaining a trusted friend for life and would never want to hurt her dearest friend. As they got to the middle of the lake Teles let her tail wrap around her friend protectively.
"Izayoi I need you to trust me now more than ever and to not panic. Just look into my eyes the whole time." Teles exclaimed looking Izayoi directly in the eyes.
"I trust you Teles." Izayoi exclaimed not knowing what else to say. But looking into Teles eyes made her calm which made her want to do anything Teles told her to do.
Teles looked at Izayoi and started to sing the song which will combined them together for all of the centuries to come. They both looked into each other's eyes never looking away.
Far Across The Land
There I'll find my home
If you'll take my hand
Guide me as I roam
I have walked a thousand miles
To find where I belong Searched the world and all its isles
But still I wander on…
Far Across The Land
Waiting there for me
All I ever planned
Just as I had dreamed
I've been lost for far too long
I need to find my way
Trying hard to carry on
But still feel far away
Far Across The Land
There I'll find my home
If you'll take my hand
Guide me as I roam
Far Across The Land
Waiting there for me
All I ever planned Just as I had dreamed
Give me strength to believe
When I'm losing faith
Help me past the darkness
In my mind
Far Across The Land
There I'll find my home
If you'll take my hand
Guide me as I roam
Far Across The Land
Waiting there for me
All I ever planned
Just as I had dreamed
As Teles finished her song, she grabbed Izayoi's face and brought it to hers and she brought a kiss to her lips. As Teles had their lips together she started to drag her friend under the water going all the way to the bottom. Once they reached the bottom Teles looked Izayoi in the eyes and parted their lips. Once Izayoi opened her eyes and looked at her friend she gasped for breath as she did there was a bright flash of light. Teles still holding them together she felt their souls combining together as one. Teles looked at her friend who laid in her tail and told her to wake up. Izayoi eyes flashed opened expecting to feel water in her lungs but it never came. She darted her eyes to Teles with confusion and curiosity that lined her eyes. All Teles did was laugh at her new found her that was cuddling her tail.
"Izayoi, we have become one with each other now. You can never be scared about drown in water again since you have the other half of a Siren." Teles exclaimed as her eyes sparkled under the water.
Izayoi was beyond thrilled at all that has happened to her so far. All her life all she has known was myths and legends of creatures of the past. Never in her life would these myths and legends come true and be part of this new world. Teles explained to her that the next new moon to come her appearance would forever change. She will now have more beauty of that of a Siren. All men will bow down to her and forever want to be in her presence.
"Do not tell no man what you are or what you have seen. They will become obsessive to this and want more but all this will end in heart break for you my dearest friend." Teles was worried for her new friend and did not want nothing to happen if she could prevent it.
"Teles, how will I know if I find my one true love if all will be in love with me?" Now Izayoi was curious and needed answers.
"My mother knows what has happened today. Kami of the Seven Seas has already picked a mate for you to always have. I say mate because he is not human my friend and he will always protect you when I am not here." Teles explained as she listened to the water explain to her what the future holds now.
"What will he look like? He will be handsome? I can I know his name?" Izayoi said in such excitement.
Teles once again giggled with her friend. Oh, how Teles loved this feeling for having a friend and promised herself she would do anything to keep this. they acted like school girls now as they felt their bond grow together and stronger.
"All mother has said was when the time is right she will pull you to him. You will feel the bond of your beloved and know that this man is to be yours forever." Teles tried to explain as her mother told her what to say.
And from that day forward a beautiful friendship began to forever stay together.
