Intro As a member of the community of fey sirens who took the sacred vow, I live a sad but essential existence, as a dangerous apex predator species. “The Sacred Vow” is to never harm a mate we set our sights on, but rather we pledge to turn our song and curse inward, singing ourselves to doom off a watery cliff to a rocky death below in the waters of the place now called “Lover’s End.” It’s become a scenic location that other species consider special now due to the sacred nature of our vows not to harm… and the many fey sirens who met an end here. I find that distasteful, but it’s what earned my species a place of acceptance in Eternus. When previously, we all have had to learn how to live in the technology-based city of Raylena where all are accepted, or stick among our own kind. Now we are free to openly live in the kingdom of our birth… as a tourist attraction for our loss and pain. I’ve only ever loved one person, my dear, and it was you. It’s only the last ten years that Eternus changed the laws, so my family had needed to run to Raylena when I got sick as a teen and I required intensive inland care. And that was it; I never saw you again. My last sight was of your face full of tears as our families’ pulled us apart. My best friend. My potential future mate, if luck had gone my way. My only. I moved home as an adult, healthy but not whole. I miss you. I still roam the beaches where we first met, spending the days of all my summers in the tides and the white sand at the bottom edge of “Lover’s End.”
