Isle of the Sirens - 1

The mist cleared and I saw creatures so disgustingly hideous that I felt like every bit of filth in the world was comprised in their very faces alone. And then they started singing. A new voice joined the others in times of five minutes. Slowly, ever so slowly, everything evil dropped away from them. I saw the world in a new vision. I was shown a place similar to the home I knew. The evil passed away from it. All things cruel and bad dropped away. I was shown the world as it would be if I ruled it. It was like a dark shadow had passed from the earth and only the right and righteous were left behind. No cruelty, no greed, no pride. My vision swam, and I saw once more the creatures, but they were beautiful. They were the people I most wanted to see. They beckoned me and I leaped off the boat. False promises they sang, but their voices showed me the world. Their voices were all that mattered. The cold waves swirled around my body and I swam, oh I swam. The beautiful place I had created lay in those creatures. They had the power to give me everything I ever wanted. I reached the isle and dragged my body toward them, wishing so much for their voices to never stop. I lay down in the sand and they moved toward, me, ever singing. As their mouths sank into my flesh, the visions faded and I screamed as the world passed into a darkness.
