Siren - Naira

I was sailing over the Median Sea. I was the only person on my small ship. It had been 5 months. I was alone. My family had been killed by a group of pirates and I had no one. I was sailing, hoping to find something, a reason to live, or a way to die. How many more moons would I need to sail in order to find a new life? I didn't know. I had faced several monsters. Fought them off, with my single saber and saved my ship. I had sailed through a rough storm, just barely escaping a capsized boat.

I gazed up at the stars, locating the north star. I turned the steering wheel to my left, aligning my ship with the brightest star in the sky. The stars served as a reminder of my family, my beautiful children. I popped open a preserved seal of cherries. I was running out of food as well.

I had just started eating the fruits when I heard an enchanting song. I felt a strange pull. An overwhelming desire. Something ... Lustful. I quickly checked my map. My heartbeat increased tenfold. I was in Siren's Cove.

I had heard legends of the Siren. They had been hunted and killed. They were known for luring in sailors with their enchanting song. Seducing them. And as the seduction occured, slowly draining their life force. Legends said that only one Siren remained. The most beautiful, enchanting figure to ever roam the earth. Naira. She would still lure in lost sailors to their death, giving them one last moment of enjoyment.

I could feel my body standing up, walking towards the steering wheel, turning it towards the sound. I could see the faint outline of a rock, with a figure on it. The shadows bent around her curves, her hourglass figure.

SNAP OUT OF IT

I slapped myself, and plugged my ears. 'No. I can't.' I told myself.

The music came louder, sweeter. It was alluring. I could hear a female voice, her voice dripping with lust and passion.

"Come to me. Come. Come. Feel me. Let me feel you", said the voice.

It was torture. I knew I had to resist. But how? I plugged my ears harder. I knew if I had to fall for her tricks, I'd be killed. But... I was searching for a reason to die. In 2 years, I hadn't felt the touch of a woman, since my wife had died at sea. If I did this, my last moments in this wretched planet would atleast be pleasurable.

I began to turn the steering wheel.
