"Siren, what were you like?"

"Carefree and always happy."

"But it seems to me that you are like that now."

"Because you don't know my old self, and after you came, I became a little like my old self."

"And what was you like in the past?"

The siren's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, his past self...... Her hand rubbed against the rough tabletop, and her voice drifted a little away, "It's been too long, I don't remember." ”

Achilles didn't care, he looked down at the gems that the sirens had collected, not noticing the way the sirens looked at the ground in a daze.

Actually, I remember, but it's too cruel to recall, so I just don't remember it.

For as long as she can remember, she has been living in the gurgling water, and when she looks up, she can see the rippled lines, and the siren when she was a child did not know that it was the beam formed by the sun shining on the surface of the river, and she only thought it was so beautiful, and at night this thing would disappear, and it would appear again during the day the next day.

The Muse was always strict with the sirens, setting a precaution against her from going to land, leaving water, and singing in front of anything spiritual, and in order to make the sirens obedient, she also cast magic on the little sirens to isolate her from the land.

At first, the siren didn't understand anything, but slowly, she began to rebel against the muse.

Because everyone can go to the land, they will always tell the sirens about the new wonders of the land, how beautiful the colorful flowers are, and which kings of which country have had a great wedding. Her father's attendants were all mermaids like her, and I heard that the people on land called them mermaids.

The sirens ran to their mother and asked, "Mother, am I also a mermaid?" ”

When the muse heard this, he immediately squatted down, led the siren to his side, and looked up at the little siren: "No, you are not, you are a goddess, a goddess like your mother." ”

The siren looked at his mother's fair and slender legs, and then at his golden fishtail, and his immature voice was full of suspicion, "But, I look the same as the mermaid, and I am different from you, mother." ”

The muse was stunned, then smiled: "That's because you inherited your father's characteristics, but in essence, you are the same as me, and you will understand when you grow up." ”

The sirens didn't understand that the merfolk told her that when they arrived on land, their tails would turn into legs, a gift from her grandfather, the god Furukawa, to the merfolk clan. When the siren heard this, he rushed to his mother's side, "Mother, can you let me go to land once, I want to see my legs." ”

There were no loving eyes, no gentle words, instead of a thunderous rage, the appearance of the muse frightened her, she did not understand why her mother was so angry, hiding behind her father, the sirens were able to escape, and the mermaids who told her how good the land was, were ruthlessly turned into statues by her mother.

From that day on, the sirens no longer dared to talk about going to land, and they would no longer be close to their mother.

As the days passed, the siren grew up slowly, she became more and more beautiful, but the muse looked at her more and more worriedly, and her mother gave her more and more shackles, which meant to lock her up.

No matter how much time passed, the sirens' yearning for land never stopped. She even secretly begged her father, but his father couldn't do anything, and the muse's magic was very powerful, and it seemed that he didn't want the siren to go out.

In fact, people play with her every day, but she always feels that it is not enough.

I don't know when she started competing with the fastest sailfish in the water, always leaving them behind and far out of sight. No one could compare to her until one day.

The woman also had a pair of slender legs, but they were far less beautiful than her mother's, and the siren looked at her blankly, but the woman passed directly past the siren and entered her father's room.

The siren asked the gatekeeper curiously, "Who is that woman?" ”

The gatekeeper bowed his head respectfully and quickly replied, "Siren goddess, she is the messenger of the Sea Emperor, Kassandra the sea fairy. ”

It was the Muse who taught the Sirens, and she also told the Sirens most of the gods in the world, so the Sirens knew that the sea fairies were inferior gods, and they were very numerous compared to the gods, so the Sirens did not remember Kassandra as a person.

When she came out, the sirens followed Kassandra. The sirens made themselves invisible, so Kassandra didn't feel anyone following her, and after swimming for a long time, the sirens were tired, and she stopped, not wanting to follow any further, but when she looked back, she realized that she had long since left the river where she lived.

This had happened before, and the sirens could find their way home, but this time she couldn't find it, because she couldn't see the bank of the river, and she couldn't see the bottom of the river, and struggled downstream, and it took a long time to see the dirt and gravel, and the darkness around her fingers that she couldn't see her fingers, and then she realized that she had reached the sea, and the siren was frightened, and quickly swam up, but deviated from the direction she had started.

She's lost.

Kassandra was long gone, and there were no talking creatures around, so she couldn't stay in one place and wait, so she looked for a direction, cruising with a golden fishtail, looking for someone who knew her way.

I don't know how long it took, the siren hung her head and became depressed, she came out for so long, if she didn't go back, her mother would be angry again, just when she was worried about her fate tonight, a person slowly floated to her side, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, "Beautiful mermaid, what's your name?" ”

The siren looked up and looked at the visitor with a wary expression. The tall body, the brown robe floated like aquatic plants in the water, and the handsome appearance made the siren's eyes grow slightly, and when he saw what he was holding in his hand, the siren asked uncertainly, "...... Hermes? ”

The siren's voice was immature and good, and even had a little magic power, which made Hermes involuntarily want to get close to her, Hermes raised his eyebrows: "Do you recognize me?" ”

The siren shook his head honestly: "I don't know, I heard my mother say that Hermes, the messenger of the gods, always holds a golden staff of coiled snakes. ”

Hermes smiled, "Little Mermaid, since you know my name, can you tell me your name, and whose child are you?" ”

Her mother also said that when outsiders introduced themselves, they always said their names first and then said their identity, but her mother sternly warned her that she should not tell anyone about her identity.

Although I don't understand why, at this point, the siren still listens to the muse, his eyes roll, and the siren raises his head: "My name is the siren, and I am a goddess. As for whose child I am, I don't want to say. ”

The poor boy, who could not even lie, told others what he thought so bluntly, completely unaware that he had aroused Hermes's curiosity.

Hermes thought it was amused, and looked the siren up and down, his tone full of disbelief, "Are you a goddess?" The Little Mermaid, have you ever seen a goddess? ”

The siren heard his tone and said unconvinced: "Of course I have seen it, my mother is, and so am I!" ”

Hermes shook his head, but still asked kindly, "What about the goddess, your divine wings?" ”

Siren winks, Divine Wing, what is Divine Wing?

Hermes raised an eyebrow, "Goddess...... You don't even know the Divine Wings, do you? ”

Siren choked, she really didn't know what a godwing was, Muse and Scamander had never told her about it. Siren was stunned, pointed at him and asked, "You are also a god, what about your divine wings?" ”

Hermes smiled, the white light flashed, the water rippled slowly, two pairs of white wings waved and spread on the ankles, and in an instant, the sirens understood why the gods were called gods, because they were too sacred and too beautiful.

Looking at the stunned siren, Hermes took back the divine wings again, and then asked the siren: "Little mermaid, what do you want to say this time?" ”

The siren blushed and was speechless. She is indeed a goddess, but she does not have divine wings. The sirens felt humiliated, but Hermes was a rare joy.

He was originally sending a message to the Sea Emperor Poseidon, but when he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of something as gorgeous and bright as gold here, but he didn't expect it to be a little mermaid.

And it was the prettiest mermaid he had ever seen, and the other mermaids were all overshadowed by her. You know, the merfolk are the most beautiful race besides the gods.

I wanted to know who she was and if she would be the mermaid princess here, but she said she was a goddess. Hermes smiled and shook his head, it was so cute.

The more the siren looked at Hermes, the more angry she became, obviously she was a goddess, but Hermes had a "you are joking" expression, and the siren said in a loud voice: "If I were on land, you would definitely be able to see that I am a goddess!" Can't you be a god when you're young, haven't you grown from a child to such a big one! ”

Hermes listened, but laughed. The siren pointed at him, and her face turned red with anger, but she couldn't do anything to him, so she could only turn around angrily, not intending to deal with him again.

Seeing that the siren was about to leave, Hermes hurriedly grabbed her, and the siren frowned and turned his head, "What, let go of me, I'm going home." ”

Hermes pointed upward, "Like you said, let's try it on land." ”

The siren tilted his head angrily, and his face darkened. It's really a pot that can't be opened, this Hermes is definitely here to find fault, specifically to block her!

Hermes was very strange, he didn't seem to say anything wrong, and in front of the siren, Hermes also became patient, "What's wrong?" It's only afternoon, what are you doing in a hurry to go back, you don't want to prove it? ”

Think. But......

The siren's voice fell, and she slowly turned back and looked at Hermes plaintively, "But I can't get out." ”

Hermes was stunned, let go of the hand holding the siren, and laughed directly. It's so much fun to make this expression with a child's face.

Before the sirens were blown up, Hermes stopped at the right time.

"Why can't you get out?"

The siren glanced at Hermes, then withdrew his gaze, "Because my mother didn't want me to go out, she cast a magic spell on me. ”

As she spoke, as if afraid that Hermes would not believe her, she swung her fishtail and floated up quickly, but stopped at the surface of the sea, only a thin layer, but the sirens could not hold it open.

Hermes's eyes widened slightly, this is indeed a miracle, but there is also a solution. Hermes looked up at the sirens above and shouted, "Come down, little mermaid, and I'll take you to unlock this magic." ”

When the siren heard this, he swam down quickly, and the tip of his nose was about to collide with Hermes, and his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide, "Really? Where to? ”

Hermes was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Let's go find the Sea Emperor." ”
