Thread: Siren's Call (DaxxelxLady Grimoire)

A small head poked up over the rolling waves which crashed upon the rocks around the mouth of the bay. One could be forgiven for not noticing her, between the distance from the town amid the waning light, and how occasionally her head would be vanished beneath the waves. Narissa's one arm was lightly wrapped around one of the smaller stone peaks that jutted upward, keeping the waters from throwing her lithe form upon the rocks, while her other hand served to shield her sensitive red eyes from the dusk light. The woman's eyes were made and adjusted for the dark depths of the ocean, and daylight was painfully blinding. Below the surface of the bay a glistening blue-scaled tail flicked back and forth. Fins shifting and adjusting with the waters to keep her mostly stationary. Around her waist and hanging down her tail some was a blue-green cloth, which matched the band of which that was wrapped around her chest. Beyond that, she was bare, shoulders to hands, neck to breasts, and her stomach, skin pale and smooth. Narissa giggled as she watched with a curious and mischievous gaze, a little of her soft tongue poking passed her lips. 'Ooh, and now where are they going?' she asks herself at the sight of the ship leaving the port. A sight she hadn't seen often in the last week or two. 'To cross the mouth of my bay? Naughty. You should always ask permission... ' The edges of her pink lips curled up, a wicked smile. Pushing off of the rock, she dove below the surface. Long strands of white hair fanned out behind her as she just drifted for a short ways, sinking, then with one powerful thrust of her sapphire tail, she sharply glided forward through the water. Her body took on an undulating motion as she propelled herself through the water in the direction of the ship, deciding to have a little fun with them first. She remained low to the seafloor until she got close, then quickly rose up until she passed alongside the ship--her back, followed by her tail, splashing above the surface. When the sunlight hit her tail, the scales glittered like gems, and afterward she dove back below the surface, giggling to herself as she sharply turned, and swam under the ship. Popping up on the opposite side, splashing at the water and letting out a loud giggle. Then, once more, back below the surface of the bay, this time swinging along the bottom of the ship and moving with it for a few strides before Narissa carefully slinked up out of the water just behind the massive wooden contraption. With her head above the water, and the rest below, softly pushing her along and causing a small wave, she followed the ship, keen ears listening. Would she hear the panicked cries of sailors? Hushed prayers? How curious. It was then, for the first time, her ears really heard the sound of the flute--it had been muted by the waters, and she had not been up long enough to listen before. She quirked a brow. 'Hmm? What's that noise? A sweet song... ' she rolled over onto her back, eyes closing for a moment. The urge to sing along with it welling up inside, but with a shake of her head she flipped back over. No, not yet. She would wait for them to be closer to the rocks, she would lure and guide them to crash upon them, and if there were any that fell in her waters that took her fancy... she would take them.
