Story 90 The charmer Told By Bishop
~~~~~~~ The single most gorgeous creature I've ever seen walked in the ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ other day, followed by a horde of dazed sailors who had eyes ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~ for her alone. She walked with a grace fit for a queen, and had ~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ the most enchanting eyes. I stared speechless, and the entire ~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ room grew completely silent. Even Gorog, the brute orc, got ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ up and followed her like an obediant, tamed puppy. In fact, ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ when she left, the entire bar cleared except for an old sailor ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ in from port. He walked up to me and told of her, the Siren ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ of the seas, singing to the ships that wander too far from the ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~ known islands. She lulls from beneath the waves, luring ~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ them to their demise as eternal slave. Sounded maybe a bit ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~ farfetched to me, he was probably just jealous of her beauty. ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~ I ran after her, but she disappeared... never should have ~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ listened to that damn sailor. I still can't get that song she ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ was singing out of my head... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
