The Call of the Flame (Chapters 3 & 4)
lamooregalore for Nix (or Neck)
A Nixie-or Neck. A Mermaid or Siren-like creature of this world, specifically the German variation. Who comes across our voyagers, and senses their wants and desires. Some want love, some want an escape, others want fortune. Whatever it is, she will make them think she has it, and lull them to the edge of their boat one by one before snatching them to the depths.
For some context, these creatures are an abomination. A hybrid between natural beings (Elvans, Humans, Orcs) and a supernatural deity devoid of any redeeming qualities. The result is Nixes and the male Nokkens, who hunger for living energy as their supernatural parent, but uses their natural talents to gain this.
Voice: Melodic, seductive. The sort of voice that would make someone blush, with a subtle hint of danger that anywhere else is attractive, but here should be taken as a warning. I'm not picky about accents in this instance.
[Come Little Children]
Hush now, dear children
It must be this way
To weary of life and
Deceptions
Rest now, my children
For soon we'll away
Into the calm and
The quiet[My Jolly Sailor Bold]
Her name it is Maria, she’s a merchant’s daughter fair,
She’s left her home and family and three thousand pounds a year,
Her heart is pierced by Cupid’s dart; she shuns all glittering gold,
And there’s nothing can console her but her jolly sailor bold.
