Chapter 16 - Chapter 15: Heritage

The two were both surprised by the fish-like person leaping from the pool of water as they quickly get into a fight stance.

She looked at them in annoyance, but still had a smug grin on her face despite looking annoyed "now what's a big deal throwing rocks into my pool. I was hoping to create a dramatic entrance and sing but you all have to ruin it" but both of them looked at the strange figure with distrust.

"Hey Sally, did your history lesson ever told you about strange fish people?"

Sally nodded hesitantly "indeed but I thought they were extinct"

The person from the water looked at them offended "extinct?! That's kind of rude, you know. The Siren race may have less people, but my kind still thrives"

They both then get a good look as the figure who proclaimed to be a Siren, that she did had the appearance of a siren but as they look lower they see she has feet but with fins "wait I read in one of journals my ancestors made, that mentioned a defected Siren"

"Aw did the little Vixen, and that blood caster made a good impression of me. Please do tell" "wait don't tell me. You're Moria Finna" Moria the grinned "right on pearls there. And you must be a little Vixen and Bloodie's descendant" she chuckled at the both of them and rolled on her back while looking at them upside down and grinning. 

Hearing this gave them a massive amount of fear coursing through them as they somehow know how dangerous Moria is being known to kill hundreds of men by her singing.

Moria smiled as she cleared her throat "well if you are all interested in my history then allow me to explain" Moria tapped the water with her trident as they felt the waves moving in rhythm and a beat can be heard as Moria started to sing.

"Woah-oh, nah, nah nanah, let's begin. You all heard about my history, the feeble siren who looked weak based on her design. I'm Moria Finna, the siren, and a defected among my my people, and I am a killer amongst men" the waves started to become more frequently as for some reason her singing isn't affecting them, it seemed she has control over whether she can use how her voice sounded like at will as Moria continue to sing. "Many, many years I been known to slaughter the human race, because it was fun and hilarious to see you struggle-"

But then Sally cut off her singing "okay, can you stop please, we are not in the mood to listen to your singing!"

Moria looked at her eyes as her grin faded "Looks like someone did their research correctly and know how to shut me up properly"

Moria jams her spear into the ground "and if you wonder if I'm still the same Siren who has slain countless men before, then you've got the wrong gal. Because I've retired"

They were both confused as they look oddly towards Moria with a kindness on her face "wait that doesn't make sense years ago she was deemed one of the most vile and dangerous people to ever exist and now she's claiming that she's retired"

Moria sighed and chuckled a bit "as retired is a meaning I now have a family to support and use all my focus to do so. It made me miss all the dangerous things I used to do and loved it"

As suddenly they then see someone coming out onto the surface as it was another Siren but something didn't feel right with this Siren, her hair being grey as Silver, and has the half appearance of a siren but has wings and a tail on her backside with a more reptilian appearance.

"Aw there you are my little Akaumo. My little hybrid daughter"

"That's your daughter!?" Semya and Sally said shocked.

Moria laughed manically "yes, yes I know surprising is it" she laugh again but more humble as she looked back the two "anyways you two must be winded come have a seat, there's plenty room around here"

She carries some slabs of stone and places down to stone that were cut into seats and Akaumo walks towards Sally and Semya before looking at Moria.

"Mama, can I sit with them?"

Moria kneeled down "of course sweety, this is the perfect time to have a good time spending. With my good friends descendants"

The daughter walked towards the two with curiosity in her eyes as they looked back a bit awkwardly noting that this is a half siren and surprisingly nice one too.

"Hi there… so, Akaumo was it? How old are you"

"A hundred and seventy-five"

Sally, and Semya, were then to be shocked by Akaumo impressive age, despite looking like a child "wait I thought with a Siren's lifespan they also have the same age as humans do"

"Well my mama told me that I also have my daddy's genes, and that he was a heroic flying dragon"

Sally's eyes widened "a dragon!"

"Wait your father was Zeal"

"You've heard of my daddy before"

They heard Moria cackling "so my heroic husband has been using those nicknames I gave him when we were still fighting haha"

"You gave the dragon keeper that name"

"Oh so he gave himself the title of dragon keeper now. That feels too corny." 

They begin to settle down a bit. Moria suddenly leaps towards Sally and begins observing her that made her uncomfortable, then holding out her hand and grabbing Sally's hand she cuts Sally's hand yelping in pain "Moria what was that for"

Moria ignored her for a moment and observed again "hm. To think someone like you to be the descendant of both the little Vixen, and that blood caster. To think again you would've inherited his blood magic Mrs Lensharth"

"Blood magic? None of my family never inherited his ability and was using his knowledge to only intimidate others. Also please don't say my real last name, it feels degrading."

Moria suddenly stood silent,but looked at Sally disappointed "No blood magic… well isn't that disappointing, and I was hoping to fight one of Venny's little descendants that can actually use his ability"

Then Moria looks towards Semya, which he feels an uneasy feeling when Moria looked at him as she smiles upon the sight of that arm on his right "since my husband has been keeping an eye on you. You must have some potential, so fight me" she kneel down towards a puddle she created and used her water warp ability and plunged her hand into the water and grabbed her spear where she jammed into the ground behind her grabbing it from the water and raised his weapon towards Semya.

"Wait if he's going to fight he needs a weapon first"

"Oh my apologies. Give me a minute" then Moria then plunges her hand into the puddle of water again and brings out a sword and tosses it towards Semya, as she is quick to charge towards Semya without warning, beginning a battle.
