1 Siren's dance
After my cries finally died down, we began following the wisps toward Angel. They led us right and then left, then right again. I was glad I wasn't going through this maze alone. If I was, I knew I would have never gotten very far.
To pass the time and break the silence, Keegan began telling me about his childhood.
"When I was five, I remember getting lost in here." He told me. "I was so scared and began crying. Then the wisps came."
"What happened?" I asked him.
He chuckled, "They laughed at me. Said I was a foolish little shadow boy and then they attacked me."
I winced, "How did you go from getting attacked by them to becoming chummy with them?"
"A song." He answered and plucked a crude wooden flute out of thin air. "My father taught me that many things here in Niflheim love music."
"Even the Shadow Men?" I asked turning to look at him.
Keegan looked back at me, "Especially them."
"So you played that flute and the savage beasts were soothed." I said as he began playing a lively tune on the flute.
He nodded and I watched as the wisps began to dance around him. Soon I noticed the yucky purple plants slithering toward and began swaying to the beat. Next thing I know three gorgeous women appear and began moving seductively to the music. Each one had flame colored hair and wore slinky silk dresses that gave sudden peeks of naked flesh. Watching those three became hypnotic and I unconsciously began to dance with them.
Piper! Keegan's voice screamed in my head. Don't watch the sirens.
With a shake I returned to my senses to see the vampire looking Shadow Man drift up to the crowd of dancers and begin dancing with the three hypnotic women. I could see his red eyes glazing over, as he became enthralled to the Sirens.
Keegan stopped playing the flute but the music never ended as he came up to me smiling triumphantly.
"Poor Ezrin." He said sinisterly. "Couldn't leave my possessions well alone and now he's caught in the Siren's dance." His chuckled and glanced back at me.
"A lesson 'tis learned." He told me darkly.
I decided to forget I heard him refer to me as his possession.
This looks to be a good end to a rather short and pointless chapter. It gets better don't worry.
