Beneath the waves of the dark green sea there is this one girl with an enchanting voice, pale skin color, long reddish hair, her eyes are green, her face is innocent and lovely, her body is a half human and a half fish, she has a tail with the touch of colors: aqua blue, gold, silver, green, and violet. She is considered as the protector of the sea and her name is Marina, a not so extraordinary mermaid and a mask of malice.
“Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure
imagination take a look and you’ll see into your imagination” the fisherman sings as he sails his boat to the sea together with his son. “Is my father singing?” the fisherman’s son asked himself as he look at his father’s mouth. “One… Two… Three!” the fisherman counted before he threw the fishing rod to the sea, then he sat and looked at his son and tears formed on the corners of his eyes. “Everything will be alright son”. After that, he grab his son’s hand and put a bracelet on his son’s wrist. The bracelet is made from a powerful shell. “I know you will not be able to understand this but take care of this bracelet okay?” the fisherman said. He wiped his tears and asked himself, “Why is my son looking at a far distance?”. The fishing rod starts moving that is why the Fisherman stood up and took a grip on the handle. He lifted the rod and laughed. “HAHAHA look at this one son! We caught a…” he stopped talking as he heard an operatic high pitched enchanting voice. He looked for it and found Marina singing beside his son. Marina continued to sing resulting for the fisherman to be hypnotized and the cause of his sleep. Marina wondered why the little boy is not affected by the magic of her voice. The fisherman’s son looked at Marina’s face and smiled. Marina stopped singing and wondered why her power didn’t worked for the little boy. Marina asked the little boy, “Aren’t you afraid of me?” but she got no response except from an innocent smile. “Something is different”. Marina said to herself. She touched the boy’s head and closed her mesmerizing green eyes for a few minutes. After Marina did that, she now understands why he doesn’t follow her call. The boy is deaf and slightly blind. Marina stretched her arms out towards the fisherman’s son. Marina touched the ears of the little boy gently, the child felt her fingers almost vibrate and soon the boy could slowly start hearing minimal sounds including the sounds of the waves. Marina also touched the eye’s of the little boy to fix his vision. The little boy smiled and cried, amazed that he can hear and clearly see for the first time in his life. He gestured a thank you to Marina and Marina smiled back. Marina begins her call once more, seeing the child amazed on her voice. His eyes glazed over and began jumping from the boat, swimming towards his helper. As the child swim towards her, Marina granted him power to breathe underwater. The Siren continues her lulling tune, and tightly holds the child close before dragging him to the depths. “What happened?” the Fisherman asked while he is touching his ears. He stood up fast and he looked for his son. “Son?... Where are you?... Son?!...” and gallon of tears flowed from his eyes. He sat on the boat sadly, tears kept on flowing. Then the fisherman remembered about what he saw, he made a conclusion that Marina could have been the one who took his son. He rushed to the corners of the boat to find his son but he found nothing except from the bracelet he gave his son he picked up the bracelet and put it on his wrist, and said.“I will find you son. I will never get tired of finding you, my precious pearl”. And the fisherman starts to sail his boat back to the shoreline. The fisherman’s son is now in the Kingdom of Marina. A cave filled with plenty of skulls, treasures, and a cave filled with darkness. Marina observed the child holding his breath. Then Marina chuckled. “I almost forgot, you can breathe underwater I granted you a superpower.” Marina said. Marina twitched her fingers and a potion suddenly comes out. “Drink this? Or I will remove your power to breathe underwater.” Marina asked. “But how about my father? Where is he?” “You’ll see each other after you drink this potion”. The poor little boy had no idea that this is a trap. He drank the potion and the little boy became a Merman. He grew up fast. He had no idea about the consequences of his action. His memories were erased from his mind. His legs turned into a tail. The colors of his eyes changed. Scales start to form in his face and body. The innocent little boy before is now a powerful merman. “Exactly what I want”. Marina said to herself. Then Marina laughed creepily resulting the cave to be filled with her creepy laugh. Marina made the fisherman’s son the Ruler of her Kingdom. She even gave the boy a name, Apollo. The Fisherman searched for his son on the sea 24/7. Until one night he saw Marina approaching him. “You!, You must be the one who took my son from me! Why?! Why do you have to get him?!” the Fisherman shouted and pointed Marina while uttering those lines. Then Marina chuckled, “Haha, you two are actually innocent, but you are men and I hate all of you!” “What do you mean?” he asked. “Before I became a mermaid, I am once a human like you. A human who faced many discriminations when I tried to express myself and most of them are men!” Marina said. “I don’t understand you.” the fisherman said. “And like you, I am also a man during my early life, I hate men because you made me feel worthless, they almost kill me when they knew that I am a woman entrapped inside a man’s body!”. The Fisherman is shocked about what Marina said. “I am sorry for what I just heard, but can you please give me back my son?” the fisherman asked to Marina pitifully “If he will recognize you, then you will be together again.” Marina said. Marina begins her lulling tune and the fisherman fell asleep. Then Marina touched the Fisherman’s legs and it turned to a tail. Marina also gave him powers and ability to breathe underwater. She waited for the Fisherman to be awake. And when the fisherman was awakened she broke the boat and begins her call once more. The fisherman fell under Marina’s power, resulting him to swim and follow Marina to the depths. “Here you have your son”. Marina said. “Who is this intruder?, Who are you?!” Apollo asked loudly. “Son? Is that you?, Look. I am your father.” the fisherman said nervously. “You must be out of your mind, you silly!” The fisherman sighed. But he saw the bracelet on his wrist. “Look at this! Don’t you remember this?” he said. Apollo looked at it and said, “It looks familiar… but I really can’t remember where I saw it.”. The fisherman convinced Apollo to believe him but Marina commanded Apollo to kill his father. “Kill him now!!”. Apollo grabbed his powerful dagger and swam towards his father. While the fisherman swam and kept on convincing Apollo. “Don’t listen to her! She is fooling you…” the fisherman said. “Shut up and take this punishment”. Apollo chased his father and put the dagger deeply on his father’s chest. The fisherman groaned because of pain, but before Apollo pull the dagger from his chest he remove the bracelet from his wrist and threw it on a rock. Apollo pulled the dagger and the cave is filled with so much blood. After that a blinding white light comes out from the thrown bracelet and the important events happened to the fisherman’s son flashed from the shell. He saw the day he was born, he saw how his father took care for him when his mother died because of giving birth, and he also saw the day when he was hypnotized by Marina. “You traitor!!” Apollo shouted to Marina Apollo is now in confusion he still doesn’t know what to believe. But when he remembered what he saw from the shell, he knew it. It was his father and he killed him. “I am sorry father” he said and cried. He lied beside his father’s corpse and killed himself with the use of his dagger. Before he remove it he shouted, “Don’t listen to a Siren’s Call!!!.” Marina laughed and brought their bodies to the deepest part of the sea together with the other bodies and skulls of her victims. And she swam towards the upper surface of the sea to wait for her next prey.
