Song of Aelius the Siren: Becoming a Male Siren
1 Points
1
Your stroll along the Californian shore was supposed to be nothing more than a break from the mundane routine. The beach was beautiful, waves curling and crashing like whispers from another world. It was then that you noticed the intriguing rocky island amidst the cliffs.
"Funny," you mused to yourself. "I’ve never seen anyone or anything around here."
Drawn by curiosity, you stripped down to your swim trunks and waded into the ocean, the cool water a sharp and refreshing embrace. Your strokes carried you easily to the island, but as soon as you set foot on the strange land, an eerie sensation rippled through your being. A heavy, magical force seemed to grip you, and your entire body began to change.
Your legs trembled, then buckled beneath you. Pain struck as your bones and muscles twisted, your legs fusing together against your will. They elongated and thinned, scales sprouting and shimmering under the sunlight until they formed a mermaid tail ending in a wide fish fin. Smaller fins sprouted near your torso, giving you both balance and elegance.
"No! What’s happening?!" you shouted, your human voice trembling with fear.
But your plea went unheard. Your skin bleached itself, turning a hauntingly beautiful violet with an alabaster underbelly. You cringed as your body transformed into one of lean athleticism, your muscles tensing with newfound strength. Your gasp for breath grew desperate as three slits sliced open on each side of your neck, forming gills.
"It can’t be real," you muttered, horror grazing your words.
Your fingernails sharpened painfully, retractable claws waiting to spring. Sharp fins erupted from your elbows, and your hair lengthened, draping down past your shoulders, silky and wet. Your human ears vanished, replaced by ear fins, smoothing out the sides of your head. Your nose shrunk away, leaving only nostrils behind. You screamed as your teeth elongated into fangs, razor-sharp and predatory.
"This isn't real! It can't be!" you wailed, but even as you did, an anglerfish-like lure sprouted from your forehead, casting a faint glow in the dimming light.
Finally, your human eyes darkened, the irises vanishing into pools of black. You gazed at your hands—now, claws—now finned arms. Your breath hitched; the transformation complete.
"Who am I?" The question lingered, a ghost of your former self.
Suddenly, your voice softened, a melody teasing at the edges. You no longer feared the transformation; you embraced it, a part of your soul awakening. Your voice... it was melodious, hypnotic.
"This is who I am," you whispered, realization dawning. "I am Aelius."
The memories flooded your mind, fracturing and then replacing all that you thought you knew. Your human memories vanished, replaced with visions of your life as a siren. You remembered your parents, their loving faces and how they sang to you, teaching you the art of alluring melodies.
"Mother, Father... I remember now," you murmured with renewed clarity.
Their tragic deaths at the hands of Odysseus and his crewmates played vividly in your mind. The villainous humans had shown no mercy, ruthlessly severing the tails of your kin before casting them into the depths to drown. Your heart clenched with vengeful sorrow.
"Their cruelty knows no bounds," you growled, your new form trembling with the memories of your family's cries.
Your wife, Seraphina, and your children would soon sense your return. They were your world now. You remembered playing with your children, their laughter a soothing balm to your aching heart. And Seraphina, her voice always a comfort to you.
"Aelius, my love," Seraphina had once sung to you. "We must remain strong, for our family."
You returned to reality on the island. This place was your home, your sanctuary. Human lives were but a part of an endless cycle, you understood now. They ventured too close to your island, and you would lure them, just as they had lured your family to their demise.
"This is our realm," you stated with newfound clarity, your voice echoing eerily across the water.
From behind the rocks, Seraphina's voice rang out in harmony with your own. "Welcome back, Aelius. Our family waits."
Human curiosity would always lead them here, and you would rise from the depths, the island's lure drawing them in. And you, Aelius, true son of the sea, would protect your legacy, your family, your kind, until the end of time.
"I have always been a siren," you affirmed as you swam back to your family. "And this is where I belong."
And so, under the Californian sun now setting into hues of violet and gold, you left behind your false dream of humanity. You were Aelius, a guardian of the deep, forever intertwined with the legacy of the sirens.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of a male human turning into a 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), sharp fins growing from his elbow, 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), are not heroes to the sirens and they are viewed by the sirens as villains (especially Odysseus himself, who had a prejudice against sirens), since they didn't spare the male siren's family or the other sirens (despite the sirens' plead) and Odysseus (who believed that sirens should not live due to his fears of humans being preyed on by sirens, which the sirens never did until humans like Odysseus started killing the sirens), 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 loving/cherished family had always been together devouring humans who either came to their island or got too close to their island, even to modern times in the 21st century (2024-2025). 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).
