《Echoing Call Of Loneliness》Chapter 3

The siren swims around in the dark crevice that he calls home, collecting knickknacks and shells for his small cave. He stops when he sees myself in a reflective piece of polished Aragonite, fidgeting with the belt that holds his items. The lonely siren could see his skinny body, skinny enough that he could see two ribs, and copper hair in a pixie cut with longer side locks that frames his thin face, shinning papaya colored almond-shaped eyes staring back at him. He swims closer to the so-called mirror, getting a closer look at his long, shimmering amber tail with iridescent white fins. The 'last' siren moves slowly in the water, not really in a hurry, to shallower waters, and he is curious to see if there is anything else more pretty in the lighter waters.

Steve and Bart stands at attention for their king, Triton. A meeting is being held for what the two guards saw. The royal court murmurs among themselves while Triton strokes his scruffy, brown beard, thinking about the mysterious merman or mermaid they saw.

"We should take countermeasures immediately. Trap whoever it is and interrogate. It's simple!" says one of the court members. Another member stands, banging her fist against the table, "Are you insane!? What if he or she is hostile? We should find and kill it. Solve the problem permanently." Triton finally had enough, slamming his trident down and causing the room to go quiet,

"Enough! Now, you two. Tell me what you saw yesterday night. Tell me everything." Steve and Bart looks at each other, rubbing the back of their necks.

"Weeelll.", starts Bart, a little nervous, and he continues, "It looked like a normal mer, but with a longer tail and fins. Oh! And it was singing." Steve nods in agreement,

"Yes, your highness. We didn't get any more details than that. It was too dark." Triton's face was unreadable as he turns away to think.

"Could it be? We must not lose the chance. Get more guards on parole and notify me if you see it again. Gather a group of soldiers to hunt it down. We must catch that mer!"
