-- It is said--- If the Siren cries, the one for whom she sheds her tears- will die--
The sirens. Immortal, evil beings, with whose beauty no creature, not even witches, can be compared with. Their unworldly beauty and ugly hearts are deadly combination for anyone who steps ide their territory.
They are daughters of a Devil and Sea nymph. The blood that flows in their veins protects them from almost anything but also punishes them if they go against their own nature- they must never fall in love.
There is a legend that whoever gets a single kiss from a Siren can become immortal. The kiss can not be taken forcefully. It has to be given willingly from a Siren, otherwise you die from a slow and agonizing death. Many warriors throughout history, longed for immortality and in that longing they traveled to their territory.
But when they entered- there was no sound of their deadly songs. There was no trace of them. As, If they existed only in a legends passed from generation on generation. The cold weather and even colder water, were the only reality, they were introduced too.
When the hope was lost and they tried to sail back home, they couldn't find a way out. Some died out of hunger and some died from a hypothermia. They all died questioning the existence of those mythological creatures. For Sirens cannot be found unless they want to be seen.
But on the one, seemingly normal evening the catastrophe happened. On the Siren's deadly waters territory the Ares, God of War entered. It was not the first time that immortal found their way inside of the Siren's land but it was the first time that God himself entered. No other but the most deadly and cruelest of them all- Ares, God of Fury and Wrath.
His enormous, 6'8 tall and scared body, stormed with smooth and trained footsteps. His face, sharp and distant was not a beautiful face. It was face decorated with scars. Scars that reached deeper than his soul. There was nothing that breathed life out of him. Where he passed, the trees withered. He was submitting the nature under his foot. It was the first time that someone of a higher power than that of a Siren, entered their land. The birds flew away and hid under the leaves as if that could protect them from the Ares's gaze. Even the water stopped moving.
The Sirens could feel His presence as well and even though they were curious to steal a glance of a God himself, the fear was greater and they swam even deeper under the waters comforting blanket.
But He was not there for those mystical and beautiful creatures. His mind was focused on finding the red gems that could only be found on the Siren's territory. Red gems were the rarest and most mesmerizing stones that were scattered around the crystal fountain surrounded by deadly snakes. They were the Siren's most treasured jewelry and they were protected by the huge and merciless piton snakes.
Ares was also not the first one to be searching for the red gems. Couple of mortals and immortals too, were here before Him, trying to find their way to the crystal fountain. It was extremely hard to locate the fountain and those that succeeded in finding it were strangled or bitten by the piton snakes that were protecting the gems.
But He was the first one, who was not interested in their beauty or market worth. He needed gems for they were the only stones hard enough to serve for sharpening of His blood soaked weapons.
The cold weather did not bother Him like it would bother the mere mortals. His steps, authoritative and hard were not lost like they were from so many others that entered the deadly waters. With ease, He found a fountain but before he could close His distance the black piton snake appeared before him.
"Well, well, If that isn't a God of War himself." The snake hissed.
"Step away snake or I will have your head." Ares's command was like u thunder. Clouds grew bigger as, If the sky was affected by his voice.
"I am not here to stand between You and the gems, God of Destruction." Snake mysteriously hissed before speaking again.
"I can see it.....If you come close the the crystal fountain, If you set your eyes on her...You will gain something much more precious than the red gems." Snake stopped before she hissed again "The Siren's heart."
"I see her blood on your hands." Snake continued.
"I am not interested in killing anyone. I am here only for the gems." Ares's thunderers voice boomed again.
"She will die not by Your sword but Your love." Snake hissed almost aggressively.
The snake could not help itself. They are the loyal protectors of their masters- the daughters of a Devil. The deadly princesses of the Sea- The Sirens. Even when in front of the God himself, they stay their loyal servants.
"And even less interested in loving someone, snake." Ares's eyes narrowed and reached for his blade. He was losing His patience.
"Be quick, The God of War. Take what you came for and leave. Leave before You set Your eyes on her...With her death yours will follow...The God of War will fall." Snake warningly hissed and defeatedly moved away.
