《The Dark Times》Article 3: Celebrity Singer Comes Ashore
Advertisement
Kiki the Temptress of the Pacific has announced today the decision to bring her 3rd sell out concert tour ‘Of love and pity’ to her landed fans. Next woe’s day she will be swapping her fins for feet and wading ashore at an unspecified beach in the south of England. With her will come her sleek six-packed backing crew The Fins.
If fans are worried that their unique sound will be affected by the lack of water be assured that the world-renowned music loving warlock, Peaceman has created a fine piece of musical enchantment to preserve the effect. This, many believe is the reason for the siren’s unexpected decision to leave the water.
Kiki says on her decision to come to land that ‘Due to modern ships having deep drafts, speed and loud propellers, few sailors get close enough to shore, for long enough to appreciate my alluring beauty or hear my captivating songs. With this new ability, I will be able to bring my charm to them. Kiki sings such songs as ‘As the seaweed sways, so do I; Slowly brushing my moonlight hair (on the rocks); Follow me into the deeps and Love me or feed me.
Certainly, this tour promises to net a huge catch of men to salt away for her dowry. On the subject of marriage and whether this is a last-ditch effort to store up on men for the future, Kiki continues to state that she enjoys singing too much to lose it for any man above or below the waves.
On the subject of her backing group, The Fins, all five have been endowed with uniquely resonant voices most often found in the female of the species but without the subliminal effects. As males, and the rarer half of the breed they are lucky in that they fail to have the territorialism or drive of the females and have no need to hunt higher game.

That said, be warned, as males they do have the total lack of sexual loyalty of their kind, so if anyone is interested in their scantily clad figures and considering more than admiring them from afar, they should take into account their very liberal predisposition and any likely reaction of their female minder before making a move. Sirens should not be stirred to anger for poaching, without careful consideration.
Surf City here we come!

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
