Sirens
By Fanny chan
Sirens! Are they dangerous?
Xellos arrived in a small peaceful island. A resort island to be exact. It was bustling with activity. Xellos walked to a nearby market place. Creatures of all sorts and items of all kind were on display. He smiled as he walked about until he saw a mermaid at the very edge of the waters, eyes expressing sadness.
Xellos, astounded by her beauty, made his way slowly towards her. The mermaid turned, showing her clear eyes. On seeing Xellos, she eyed him pleadingly and muttered. "The sirens must be saved, they have been mistaken…" Xellos looked at her weirdly. "What do you mean?" The mermaid glanced up at Xellos, snapping out of her trance.
"I'm Filia, the mermaid of this island. An outsider I persume?" at Xellos nod, Filia continued. "You must have not heard the lastest news about the sirens." Her voice trembled a little as she said "sirens". She glanced up. "Do you know what's a siren? It's hasa body of a human with additional bird wings." At this moment, screams could be heard from a nearby cliff.
Xellos blinked curiously. "What's that?" he asked. "Trouble," was Filia's reply as she snapped her fingers and they both disappeared.
A small group of perople gathered at the edge of the cliff. Xellos, who was teleported by Filia, frowned, trying to peer over the heads of the crowd. "Levitation," he muttered and began to rise. He spotted Filia, in the pool of water below the cliff, staring worriedly at the scene before him. He could faintly make out a figure in the distance along with a ship. The figure flew across the ship.
Xellos floated down towards Filia. "What are those?" he asked. "Sirens. They're really beautiful and kind actually. I have a few sirens as friends. One of my friends is unlike the rest. She has a larger human couterpart. She is a little temperamental. She is also not as beautiful as the rest of the sirens, however, I can still tell she had an inner, deeper beauty."
Xellos merely nodded and slowly walked away, bidding a soft goodbye to the mermaid as the ship, attacked by the siren, slowly sank beneath the watery depth of the ocean.
Xellos arrived at the hotel he was staying. It was a magnificent hotel, shaped like a coral. "Ocean corrals" was its name. Xellos walked in and got a room from the tall elegant lady at the desk before going up into his room. Xellos glanced at his first class room. It had the view as wonderful as the sight from the cliff with exception of the siren and unfortunate ship. The door was shaped like waves and the bed was similar to an oyster with seashells shaped pillows and comforters.
Xellos smiled as if he had received such grand treatment before, which he had. He placed his small bag on the floor and went out with baggy shirt and pants along with a cloak. He walked into the seaview restaurant at the back of the hotel and settled himself at the extreme back of the restaurant, which was open air, facing the clear blue waters. Suddenly he saw a siren sitting on a nearby rock, looking around worriedly every few minutes. She had a pair of lovely wings and he could make out the wonderfully shaped body beneath the transparent two piece suit which seems to be made just to look decent. The siren turned and spotted Xellos and gasped a little but relaxed when Xellos gave her a smile.
She flew towards him, her short, dark purple hair were whipped around her face. The siren stopped in front of Xellos, careful not to let other people see her. Xellos stared at her, amazed. "Hello, I'm Amelia. However, I must wonder, how come you are not afraid of us, sirens." Amelia spoke, her lovely voice snapping Xellos out of his trance.
Xellos blinked. "I'm not afraid Amelia. I heard of the sirens and decided to see them for myself. I decided to devote my life to studying sirens as they are really amazing creatures. I'm Xellos by the way." Amelia blinked, then blushed. "I'm flattered Xellos. Thank you for complimenting my kind. Anyway, the reason I'm so out in the open is because Filia asked me to look for you." Xellos smiled. "Take me to her then."
Xellos looked Amelia. "However, can you guarantee my safety Amelia?" Amelia nodded anxiously. "Sirens are really kind actually. It is that sometimes we sing without knowing it, above those poor sailors. However I'm still young so I seldom sing unknowingly." Amelia smiled sweetly. With that, Amelia spun round, spread her wings and took flight, with Xellos levitating behind her.
Xellos stared at the speck of dot around the horizon. As they neared it, he spotted Filia and another siren beside her. The siren's back was to him. They finally reached their destination. Amelia leaped happily towards the two females. "Lina, meet Xellos. Xellos meet Lina. I think I don't have to introduce you Filia, do I?"
Filia shook her head. The redhead, otherwise known as Lina, remained in her lying down position. Filia looked up to Xellos and said, "This is that particular siren I was talking about earlier. She is alsleep at the moment, however you can still look at her, just quietly." Xellos chuckled. "You think I'd disturb such a delicate creature like that?" Filia shrugged. "You'll never know." Xellos slowly circled Lina.
