….“Are you a male?” Tova asked, wetting her hands with the freshwater from her canister before throwing the water over her hair.

“What? No," the mystery woman said, confused.

“no, male tendencies?” Tova circled herself with water.

“no, why do you ask?” The woman watched Tova's actions with such curiosity.

“I'm gonna summon sirens from the sea,” Tova said, sitting in the circle.

“But he is a man.” The woman pointed to Tova’s friends with wide eyes.

“Iravan is not really male or female, he is just the ocean,” Tova commented, closing her eyes. “now be quiet, I need to concentrate, I haven't done this in years”

As Tova's body began to glow, a mesmerizing sight. A bioluminescent spot of water had somehow filtered through her skin, casting a shimmering, ethereal light around her. The mystery woman stared in wonder at the scene unfolding before her eyes, captivated by the sheer beauty of it.

As Tova's curly hair rose, seemingly suspended in a water bubble, a hauntingly sweet voice flowed through her body and into the air around them. It was as if Tova had become one with the very elements, her physical form merging with the aqueous light and melodic tones in a breathtaking display of natural magic.

‘Oh sirens of the sea
With your voices so sweet
We call upon you now
Bringing us water to drink
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw0SZiO1qe
Sirens, sing your song
And bring us water from the deep
Sirens hear our plea
And quench our thirst with your melody’

As the last notes of Tova's captivating melody faded into the night, the forest seemed to come alive with movement. A gentle rustling swept through the trees as if the very leaves were responding to the enchanting song. Then, a soft rattling sound emerged from the darkness, growing steadily louder - the unmistakable sound of scales gliding over one another.

Suddenly, a faint glow began to emanate from the edge of the tree, a bioluminescent display that heralded the arrival of two otherworldly beings. Emerging from the shadows, the sirens appeared, their long black hair clinging to their lithe forms like ink spilled across the parchment.

Droplets of water clung to their iridescent scales, sparkling like precious jewels, while their fins and tails undulated gracefully, resembling the flowing panels and fringes of a harem skirt. Their features were rounded and smooth, their eyes alluring as if they had been sculpted by the most skilled artisan.

In their delicate hands, the sirens held a shell-shaped vessel, filled with water, and the other a massive clamshell, the contents of which remained hidden from view.

Tova opened her eyes, and the glow faded from them. “Ugh, they sent the twins,” Tova said in a nonchalant tone.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLrE5obvmQ
“Is this how you keep your promises?” The twins chorused together.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV3HXEhLQP
Tova’s eyes turned into rage. “Are you questioning his choice?” she stared deeply into their eyes, as they gasped at the sight of her anger.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7gvdM3j7H
Tova locked eyes with the twins as a tense silence hung in the air. The two young sirens, their scales glistening in the dim light, let out a series of low, guttural hisses, the sound echoing through the room. Tova was taken aback by the display of hostility.

Without hesitation, she felt an instinctual response rise within her, and before she knew it, she was hissing back at the twins, matching their aggressive tone. The back-and-forth continued, the volume and intensity escalating as the three became embroiled in this bizarre, primal argument.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZHqtRBl6f
Just as it seemed the confrontation would spiral out of control, she raised a hand, silently commanding the twins to cease their hissing. To her relief, the sirens reluctantly obeyed.

“Drop your gifts and go” Tova looked at them and in a hissed they descended the tree, leaving….
