//------------------------------// // Siren Song // Story: ADAGIO // by Pathious //------------------------------// Adagio had never felt such heartache. She felt power and anger surging through her veins as she was walking away from the monstrosities that had broken her heart. She knew she should have never let love into her heart. Last time she did that it had the same outcome. She was holding her new reformed amulet close to her chest as she was walking outside in the cold. Was Ron lying when he said it wasn’t what it looked like? Was Rainbow the one who had caused such a terrible outcome? Was she the one that Adagio should be blaming? Was she the one whom needed to be destroyed? Adagio had question after question just flowing in and out of the depths of her now secluded and angered mind. Adagio was a very tempered creature. Her history of being violent was incredibly relevant. She had been angered many times in the past. Even by her pack of three. Aria had caused her similar anger several times before this. Adagio had traveled quite the distance in this short time. Snow had decided to drop its depressive cold upon her on this walk. The flakes easily collecting to the girth of her mass of hair upon her head, she had found herself wandering into a homeless shelter. The men and girls around her looked at her when they saw her. Some of them appeared to be feeling an unknown sorrow for her. While some were looking at the pendant she was holding close to her chest. Adagio knew what was happening here. These people were able to strongly feel her feeling because she was a siren. The species she is always projects feelings through its magic. She was quickly intercepted by a man with a straggly beard. He held out a steamy bowl of soup to her. “Here you go stranger, it’s awfully cold out here tonight. Please come take a seat by the fire.” The man offered her kindness in the form of soup and a fire. The man had the kindest smile upon his face. This man didn’t even know Adagio yet he was giving her food and warmth. Adagio was at a loss for word. She felt no feelings towards this man yet she was beginning to realize that human beings are not all bad. There are just a few, who are really bad eggs Adagio did take a seat by the fire as she quickly slurped down the soup. Adagio watched the man closely as he now sat across from her. “why are you being so kind to a stranger?” Adagio said as she whipped her lips of left over soup. “Are you always this nice to complete strangers?” “I sit on the street every day and not a soul stops to help me. It feels only right to lend the hand to others, even if I do not receive the same kindness from others.” The man stated quickly and truthfully. “Though I recommend you keep that amulet hidden. Many could use that to buy food and alcohol.” Adagio looked around as she noticed some of the men had gotten much closer as they remained staring at her amulet. She knew that if they pulled something on her she would be able to defend herself. She just didn’t want it to come down to that. No reason anyone should have to die tonight. She was in bad enough of a mood at this point. A few lives being taken wouldn’t take an ounce of her sanity away at this point. For what are a few lives to her. “I wouldn’t worry about them too much. They are simply going to find themselves in a world of hurt if they try anything.” Adagio’s Raspberry eyes glanced around as she spoke. She kept her hands cupped on the bottom of the bowl. As she began to feel slightly uneasy, the negative energy resonating from the possible assailants was about to drive her insane. The feeling of all that possible energy was making her hungry to take it. She tried to focus her attention elsewhere. The man whom had handed her the soup could tell she was growing uneasy. Seeing her uneasy was making him uneasy. The man had his hand on a knife as he was growing very uneasy. Adagio looked around as a nictating membrane now covered her eyes. She was seeing in a thermal vision. Being of a predator nature she could hear all the uneasy heartbeats of the scared. There little thudding hearts was beginning to put a smile upon her face. The flames like reflected in her eyes which were now golden in color. The man who had helped her stumbled backwards as he saw this. Some individuals were now sneaking up behind her. Or so they thought, Adagio stood up incredibly fast as she placed a hand upon the throat of one of the individuals. Adagio let out a terrifying sound of a reptile as her mouth morphed slightly out of proportion. Her mouth returned to normal as she stopped making the noise. At first there was a lot of screaming, after the noise on the other hand. Everyone was frozen as if they were stunned by the noise. “What are….you.” Said the individual who she had grabbed. “Only your worst fucking nightmare,” Adagio made the noise again as her teeth turned into sharp razors. She bit into the neck and ripped off a piece of flesh. She then tossed the man aside. Blood covered her lips. It was running down her neck slightly as she then turned toward everyone who was running away. She spit out the piece of flesh as she started to let out a singing note. All then runners froze again as the felt they had to turn and go to her. Adagio kept making visualizations and hand notions to lure them to her. Fins started to form upon her cheeks as she continued to make noises that had such and essence and purity to them. Adagio was not allowing the man who helped her to be lured on the other hand. After enough of the individuals were close to her she started to draw from their energy. She had her arms wide open in a welcoming manor. The kindness was soon to fade. Adagio looked around and listened to the new enlightened heartbeats of her mind controlled people. “What are you doing to them?” The man who had helped her screamed out as he tried to stand up. The shocked coursing through him was overwhelming. So overwhelming that he was too weak to fight back, Adagio looked at her slaves as she held out her hands. Once one of the slaves grabbed her hand a sound was unleashed. The hearts of her followers stopped pumping from the high frequency. Adagio watched as the bodies fell. She started to walk off into the night. She was sure to make headlines the next morning. Her next plan, Get back at the ones who had broken her heart, Rainbow dash was about to find out what happens when you steal from a greedy sea devil.
