Dare I continue to delve into the minds of these wondrous beings? Well, I will, though I may mess up entirely...

Remember, I don't own these ladies, gentlemen, and monsters, none of all, but don't truly care to try changing that as I would be mowed down in the crowd.

I'm very happy that people enjoy these stories. By my count, because people have asked, there are six left, and I'll let you figure out who's who. Not that I'll make it difficult.



~~Siren~~

The word 'siren' is usually associated with a loud, blaring noise. So many are surprised that I am actually quiet. Sirens are also supposedly devious minded creatures that draw others to their deaths. I suppose that I could be called such, as I can kill. But I am not sure how the two definitions of 'siren' can be so different. One, a loud object that no one wishes to be around, and the other, a creature that many wish to be around, but only if they are not in their right mind. Is it any wonder that I do not befriend just anyone?

Resting within the large winged creature, Siren slept as it did. It had no actual use for her, but merely used her powers to keep itself hidden. When the humans began wandering around the tower it called home, however, both the creature and Siren woke. It clambered around on the tower structure, and watched the people mill around like the creatures that humans call ants. It climbed higher, to reach the peak of the tower, for a better vantage point and watched the events. Eventually, the people started to leave the tower, and the creature spotted a group of three children heading toward the top platform.

~~Cerberus~~

Siren is the quietest among us. She is also one of the most dangerous. Due to the fact that many underestimate her, they never expect that she can actually kill with her music. It's not that bad, it's just hypnotizing. She can force you to do something, and you think you're doing it willingly.

After the children reached the platform, they observed two of the adults as they manipulated something to do with the tower. It was activated, and then the creature lost its foothold. So it grabbed another. Those three youngsters stood below the creature and Siren, fighting two adults. After a while, the creature got bored, flew down, and blew the adults away, figuring the children would be more worth playing with. The two young men weren't even phased by the creature's attack, not pausing for even a second, and the girl blinked, as though she could hear or sense Siren. Siren blinked metaphorically as she heard other Guardians, one in the mind of each child.

~~Carbuncle~~

Siren's really shy. The only things that draw her out of her shell are really extroverted beings. Which is why she's friends with Shiva and Ifrit. They're some of the most open Guardians in existence. Even if one is made of ice and the other's full of hot air.

~~--~~

After hearing her friends in the minds of the children, Siren realized that she wanted to help them. So when the girl asked her to join in their fight, Siren didn't even pause to think. Ifrit later teased her about her rare show of impetuosity. Shiva, though, applauded her for it.

When she reached the girl's mind, Siren was surprised by how at home Ifrit had made himself. This was added to when Siren noticed that there was still room and a place for her to rest within the girl's mind, even though Ifrit often took up a lot of room. She settled and decided to nap some more.

Selphie felt the Guardian slip into her mind, and was charmed by the shy nature of it. At first she wondered if she should try giving the Guardian to Squall, but she figured that it would only make both the Guardian and Squall worse. Squall seemed to agree, as he told Selphie to keep the napping Guardian.

~~Siren~~

I have always wondered how the shy can get along with the extroverts. Prior to meeting this girl, my best guess was that we do so to learn from them. But now, I'm sure that the shy are actually just mowed over by the hyperactive extroverts, and never recover enough to completely close anyone else out again.

I got back to playing the game recently so, I can detail a few of the summons more accurately. I also know whom I actually matched up with whom at the end of the game, and I guess I didn't have Irvine at the end after all...
