In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν, Seirḗn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες, Seirênes) were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. In reality, sirens are monsters (Aquatic) of the briny deep whose hearts fill with love and sorrow. They are wily and fickle and have been known to lead ships both to safety as well as to their demise. One may note the difference, however, in the mission and reason for the vessel. On ships rowed or sailed, the sirens always take pity and with their enchanting songs will save ship and crew. Yet, on motorized vessels, they will sing the ships into dangers because of their disdain for the sound and pollution of such vessels. Sirens love the sea, but weep for it as they have watched it die in a short period because of the machinations of mankind. The sirens also know another song, the <i>Song of Transformation</i>. When sung, it will mesmerize any women hearing it, causing them to leap into the sea. The longer they listen, the more they shed their humanity, until, as a new siren, they will join in. Absinthe Van Gothen encountered sirens when she and the Night Stalker, Kendra Tallulah, went to Sauvie Island to find The Flying Dutchman. | In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν, Seirḗn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες, Seirênes) were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.
