For many years, there has been an unspoken war between the ruthless pirates of the sea and the deadly sirens who lurk beneath the waters. The sirens despise the sailors for invading their lands, always quick to lure a stray pirate to their doom. The pirates, on the other hands, despise the sirens for both their beauty and their cunning. Many years ago, a rumor spread that the siren's lairs contain secret troves of treasure, stolen from shipwrecks. It is believed that if a pirate can just manage to capture a siren, they might be able to uncover their treasure. The sirens are not too dreadfully afraid of the pirates though. Frankly, they enjoy just watching and taunting them from afar-it's fun to see them squirm. Today, they have found a large ship heading through clear and open waters, sails standing full and proud. The crew sings merrily, and the sirens watching below can't help but listen and sing along, watching the strong sailors attend to their work.
She can hear the sailors singing behind her, but underneath, she can hear faint, sweet voices coming from the waters below
"Look how the lights of the town-the lights of the town are shining now-tonight, I'll be dancing around-I'm off on the road to Galway now-"

(I like sea shantiessssss-also that's how I imagine they'd sound-)
"Look how she's off on the town-she's off on the search for sailors though-there's fine fellas here to be found, she's never been one to stay at home-"
She can see the tops of three heads, tails flapping up and down behind them and glistening in the sunlight, bobbing in the water
