A Siren’s Call

Ian Miguel DC. Isaac


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.
