Character: Lira. Page 1

Pirates are liars by vocation, and royal offspring are by blood.

Love - in the ocean you rarely find this word. It is born only in my song and on the lips of the princes I killed.

There is nothing in the world but pain and rare moments of relief.

Pain is not always suffering.

Each Sea Queen is born as a simple siren and only with a crown in return for a tail receives powerful tentacles that can hold back the onslaught of armies. She becomes a squid rather than a fish, and with this transformation, magic flourishes in the queen, great and indomitable. The one that changes the shape of the seas at the whim of the mistress. The Sea Queen is the Sea Witch.

The rulers will not be overthrown for long. And only princes have a special charm. In their youth. In loyalty to his people. In what they should be. They are the next generation of rulers, and by killing them I am killing the future. Just like my mother taught me.

The Queen cannot be admired. You have to be afraid of her.

- You're more heartless than ever.
- That's my heart is always in abundance. Seventeen pieces under the bed.

Our cruelty is priceless. Feelings of friendship and kinship are as foreign to us as the earth.

There are legends about the beauty of sirens, but royal blood flows in ketones, and this gives a special magnificence. Greatness forged by salt water and royal privileges. Our eyelashes are woven from the ice chips of icebergs, our lips are stained with the blood of sailors. It's even strange that we need a song to steal hearts at all.

Like all monsters, they can be deadly, but where sirens seduce and kill, mermaids themselves succumb to human charm.

Hearts are strength, and if my people yearn for something more desperately than the depths of the ocean, then it is it.

- Who were you before the war?
He raised an eyebrow.
- And you?
Lyra face was covered with shadow.
I don't remember.
ARIN lied too:
- As I am.

- El, wait! Do not you passed or what?
- Passed.
- Why so gloomy?
Well, maybe I failed and that's that!
Well, they you a star make.
- I asked someone I want to be a star or not?
