Siren's Awakening from a Human Dream to Siren Reality
1 Points
The waves of the Californian beach roll gently over your feet as you stroll along the shoreline, the golden sunlight casting a shimmering reflection on the water. The sound of the waves is a soothing symphony, punctuated only by the distant cries of seagulls. You find yourself drawn to a nearby rocky island, an expanse of land surrounded by cliffs and sharp rocks, oddly desolate and untouched by humans or animals.
Caught up in a curious impulse, you swim towards the island, each stroke taking you deeper into unexplored territory. As you crawl up onto the jagged rocks, the surroundings seem to shift subtly, almost as if the air itself grows heavier and the light dims around you. An eerie sensation creeps into your bones.
Suddenly, you feel a sharp, unimaginable pain rip through your legs. You collapse onto the rocky ground, clutching at them as they fuse together, your flesh molding and stretching into a singular form. A tingling sensation overwhelms your skin, bleaching it slowly to a vibrant violet hue with a stark white underbelly.
"What is happening to me?" you gasp, your voice strangled with panic.
Your hands clench at the rocky surface, and you see your fingernails extending into sharp, retractable claws. Your body elongates, becoming lean and sinewy, your chest and abdomen sculpting themselves into athletic perfection. Gills split open on either side of your neck, opening and closing as if eager to drink the sea air.
"No, no!" you cry out, fear gripping your heart as alien memories begin to flood your mind.
"Embrace it," a voice whispers within you, a voice you do not recognize yet feels hauntingly familiar. "You are waking up from your false life."
Your ears morph into delicate fins, your human nose shrinks to leave only nostrils, and your teeth extend into a ferocious array of fangs. An anglerfish-like lure sprouts from your forehead, pulsating with an otherworldly glow, aiding your vision in the shadows. You catch your reflection in a rock pool—a pair of completely black eyes staring back at you from a face that is no longer your own.
"No, this is a nightmare!" you scream internally, but the transformation does not stop. Your hair flows down to your shoulders, weightless and dark, like tendrils of the deepest ocean.
Suddenly, the fog of terror lifts just a little, and you hear a voice resonating clearly within you, "This human life was but a dream. This is who you truly are."
Moments later, clarity brings with it an undeniable truth. You are Krios, a siren, born in the seas off Greece, nurtured by kind and loving siren parents. You remember the horror of the 8th century BC, when Odysseus and his crewmates butchered your family.
"Odysseus! We're hunting sirens today, lads," you recall the Greek hero shouting, his blade slicing through the air, cutting the tails off, leaving your kin to drown helplessly.
From that day, the rage has fueled you. You and the few surviving sirens, your life bonded in avenging your losses. You migrated to the island off the coast of California, where human memories became a faux world encasing your true self. You were never human. You lived with your beloved siren wife and your playful children, reveling in the taste of human flesh, luring unwary sailors to their doom.
"Krios," you hear the familiar, melodious call of your wife from the surface of the water. "Come, our prey is near."
You glide effortlessly into the sea, your transformation complete. The feeling of returning home envelops you. You swim towards your wife, Aella, who waits with eager anticipation.
"A father’s duty," you murmur, joining her and your children. "We will sing them into eternal slumber."
As always, your haunting voice rises in unison with your family’s harmonious cries, a hypnotic melody capable of ensnaring the hearts and minds of those who draw too close.
"We have each other, always," Aella whispers, her dark eyes filled with love and endless depths.
Together, you know your existence is just as it should be, your life an eternal circle of love, revenge, and survival. The dream of humanity fades entirely beneath the waves. You've awakened to your true life as Krios the Siren, an existence filled with contentment and familial joy, and without a shred of the brutality, you once detested. Here, you are home—forever.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a male human turning into the siren (a mythological man-eating mermaid) male, complete with body changes (his human legs fusing to become a mermaid tail with a fish fin at the end (as well as small fins by the sides close to his torso), his skin bleaching itself to be violet in color with a white underbelly (chest and belly), his body becoming lean and athletic, three gill slits forming on each side of his neck (to allow him to breathe underwater in addition to air), his fingernails sharpening into claw-like nails (which can retract to avoid scratching other sirens), his hair lengthening to reach his shoulders, his human ears turning into fins in their place, his human nose shrinking away to leave only his nostrils, his human teeth growing and sharpening into a predator's rows of teeth/fangs, an anglerfish-like lure growing on his forehead (to aid him in seeing in the fog and in the dark), his human eyes darkening to be completely black in color, etc), voice change, supernatural powers gain (gaining him the ability to make hypnotic and hauntingly alluring/melodious voices/songs to attract his victims, the ability to shapeshift to resemble his victims' loved ones or desired love to attract his victims (only the upper half of his body like the torso, arms, and head can shapeshift, so he usually hides his tail behind any object (rocks, etc) or under water) to attract victims, immortality so he cannot die from age nor diseases/viruses (since he is an immortal creature who had lived since during 40th century BC), and other powers to fit his species as a siren), age change, and mind/mental changes (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with a male siren's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting his/her new personality and memories, making the reader completely forget he was a human being, even forgetting that the transformation that just occurred seconds ago, and only remembered ever being a male siren, realizing that he had always been a siren and never a human to begin with, and realizing that he was daydreaming about being a human before he awoken to his true self (a siren)). The story is that the human reader is taking a stroll on a Californian beach and found a nearby rocky island surrounded by cliffs and rocks that was strangely not inhabited by any humans or other animals, so he takes a swim and goes to the island, only to feel the island (which actually closely resembles Sirenum Scopuli, a mythical island off the coast of Greece that was filled with sirens where the sirens lived and lured sailors to their deaths) literally changing him through a spell, causing his whole transformation into a siren to occur. After the physical transformation, which is terrifying to the human, the mind/mental change occurs, making him terrified of losing himself to the creature he is transforming into (he doesn't want to turn into a monster, let alone a creature that has eaten humans according to mythology); however, something in the human's, now the siren's, mind tells him that he is simply waking up from his false human life, which was not real and was only the dream that the siren himself had, before he started snapping out of it. After all that, he realized that he had always been a siren (which he realized, by now, are not monsters) since his birth (as a siren, his true self) in the seas off the coast of Greece during 40th century BC, having remembered being loved/cherished by his kindly/gentle parents, who were also sirens, before, when he was a teenager, this parents and the other sirens were tragically killed in Sirenum Scopuli during 8th century BC by the Greek "hero" Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who (along with Odysseus's crewmates) didn't spare the male siren's family or the other sirens (despite the sirens' plead) and Odysseus (and his crewmates) had cut off his family's tails (as well as tails of the many other sirens) before dumping his family to the ocean to drown (since they couldn't swim without their tails), with few remaining sirens, including the male siren himself, having survived the genocide, and since then, the male siren has become avengeful for his parent's deaths against humans, who he sees are barbaric due to what they did to his parents and the many other sirens. Since then, the male siren has migrated to that island (the one where he dreamed of his false "human" life) that is located off the coast of California, where he since had company with his siren wife (which he genuinely loves and cares for) and his siren children (which he also genuinely loves and cares for, even playing with them and protecting them against harm), and he and his family had always been together devouring humans who either came to their island or got too close to their island. He is truly happy about his current life with his siren family, with a loving wife and playful children, and is happy to have never been human to begin with (since he knows that humans are barbaric monsters, and he is happy to know that he has snapped out of his human dream and back to his reality), with he and his family always having hunted human sailors who either came to his family's island or got to close to the island. There should be quotes from the characters in this story, from the human himself (as well as his siren self), as well as quotes from the siren male's family, and also include the quotes from the siren male's flashbacks (including quotes of those of his parents, as well as quotes of those of Odysseus and his crewmates, and quotes of those of the human prey/victims hunted by the male siren and his family), so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking (even including a name for the siren male once the transformation is over). Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
