Deep beneath the midnight sea lived a siren whose beauty could silence the waves and whose gaze held the secrets of forgotten kingdoms. Around her neck hung a crystal teardrop, imprisoning the soul of a mermaid who had once dared to love the world above.
They said her tears turned into diamonds, but no one knew the truth: each glittering drop carried a memory she could never reclaim. With every passing century, she grew more enchanting, and a little less human.
She no longer sang to lure sailors or begged the ocean for mercy. She simply waited, watching the world through eyes as cold as moonlit water, guarding the tiny soul inside her pendant.
For some curses are not born from hatred, but from love that refuses to fade.
And beneath her irresistible beauty lay a sorrow older than the sea itself.
