On top of the vast ocean, waves were churned into an angry froth by the storm that blew overhead. Hundreds of feet down however, in a neat and simple cave system, the air- or rather, water, was brewing with excitement. Magical torches lit the underwater caves as mermen and mermaids swam to the meeting chamber, as the contest was about to begin. Their shadows danced across the granite rock faces but then slowed to simple swaying as they all lined the walls in an orderly manner.
They had come from all of the major and minor oceans to compete in the Siren Song event, something held every year at this time. A contest older than any city that currently stood, it was a simple test of a merperson's cunning and determination. The task was, at first glance, simple. Lure unsuspecting humans, be them pirates or other sailors, to a specific location with your talent- be it voice, illusion, or both, and then let them go. The individual who lured the most would be given the golden conch and crowned champion. Anciently, their ancestors had reached a pact with the budding human civilization that no harm would come to them- and as a token of their appreciation, one was to leave a small chest or pile of treasure on each affected ship. The sailors wouldn't remember anything of course, only an odd sleepiness as they went back to their duties.
Each contender was given a small round pebble, enchanted to activate at one's touch and count each set of humans that entered its range. Of course, it was location sensitive for one week, as to discourage cheating. But merfolk are the honest sort, so that hadn't been much of an issue.
Mareena's violet eyes scanned the crowd as the announcement commenced, looking at all the past and new contenders. Her teal-scaled tail swished slightly, the mermaid not able to help but smirk as the rules were read for the first time contenders. She checked her decorative eye paint as the announcer continued, making sure she was still presentable and all seashells were in place. Mareena knew exactly how it all went, hence her slight boredom. It was by both her lack of skill, admittedly, and bad luck she had not won the past two events. She bit back a sigh, adjusting the violet pearls on her shoulder.Oh how close she had gotten to victory…
"As soon as the conch is sounded, the event will begin! You all will have one week from when you reach your destination and activate your pebble counter! Good luck to all, and happy luring!"
As the horn sounded, she zipped off towards her destination. Travel alone would take a day…
Time after Mareena activated her competition pebble sped by. Ships found themselves approaching her location as both her melodious voice and distracting fog took them off course. Not dangerously of course, but definitely a diversion to count towards her goal. That was the trick- to use both illusion to confuse and a lure to get the humans. Most merfolk relied on one or the other, not skilled enough to employ both. But Mareena had been sinking in countless hours honing her skills.
Clearly, they were paying off.
As the week drew to a close, only a sliver of doubt was in her mind. If anyone had beaten her, then they truly deserved it. In the end, she had done her best. It was that thought that still echoed in her mind when she returned to the meeting chamber- awaiting to hear of a close call but loss on her part.
"And Mareena is the winner! Breaking records that have held true for fifty years!" As she swam up to bow her head in thanks, the golden conch was placed in her arms, the announcer gesturing to the crowd.
"Without giving too much away of course, would you mind telling us what you call your technique that led you to such a win?"
Mareena paused, before shrugging with a triumphant grin as her feelings of victory finally began to set in.
