DISCLAIMER: I only own the story not the characters of Sailor Moon.
Author's Notes: I love mermaids. And I also love Sailor Moon. So I've decided to kinda mash my two favorites up to form one fantasy story. I know it's not much of a story yet. I just find it very important to build up on the introduction first before I move on to the juicy bits. Well, enjoy!
CHAPTER ONE - THE BEGINNING
There existed a tale among the human-folk of Mermaid Town that beneath the ocean waves, there lived a siren. Whenever the moon is at its highest and fullest, the siren would sit on the boulders away from the shore to gaze at it. No one has ever as much as caught more than a glimpse for she would disappear back below the waves just as swiftly as she appeared. One could only hope to catch a brief moment of her long silver hair and tail which beauty and shine seem to resonate with the light of the moon. And so it is thus that the siren would be known as 'Serenity' among people of Mermaid Town.
Sometimes, the people would hear her hum a tune in a language unknown to them. An air of melancholia would be plunged into the night and the melody of her voice would echo through as the ocean waves hit the shore and the trees rustle in the wind, like a serenade.
As much as the humans would love to see her, she has never allowed any form of contact between them and herself, for in doing so would only cause her misfortune. For you see, she has lived for more than a thousand years and has seen the various changes in human civilization. Though these changes would inevitably occur, one thing she knows for sure that will never change is the human being's continuous search for one thing she could give and that is immortality.
Thousands of years ago, the sirens were teachers to the humans. They respected one another and there was peace among the two species for centuries. The sirens' fortune was short-lived and took a drastic turn one night, when the humans learned that by consuming the flesh of a siren, one would gain immortal life. That night when the moon is at its highest and fullest, the thirst for immortality led the humans to attack the sirens during their most vulnerable state and before long, deep foamy red waves formed along the shore. In shock and dismay the surviving sirens hid in the deeper parts of the ocean for awhile until the humans poured deadly amounts of poison into the sea, killing all life in it. A sad sight it was as the people gained immortality one by one as they partake in the gruesome act. Those who refused were bound with heavy rocks and forced into the ocean to be drowned.
And so the new immortals went off to different parts of the world to become rulers of kingdoms, leaving the massacred to be forgotten and for a time it remained that way until a silver-haired siren is born. Even though the sirens' have gone, their memories still lingered in the waters and it was this that created the new life. The young siren carried her ancestors' memories with her as she wandered around the ocean. She mourned for them endlessly and yet could not find herself to hate the humans for what they have done. For a thousand years, she silently watched as people came and went. She watched as Mermaid Town formed which now stood facing the ocean with no memories of the past, and no knowledge of the sirens' existence. The silver-haired siren intended to keep it that way. Only she would remember the past and tonight, she raised her sad blue eyes towards the moon that lived in the night sky looking as lonely as her and parted her lips. Tonight she would sing for the humans.
The people of Mermaid Town stirred in their beds as a familiar melody entered the night.
