S.I.R.E.N (The Journey of Love) - Episode 8
"Now you know of your true birth Sirene, do you still doubt it? Your mother is Lucy and you have a sister, do you now believe?" The Prophecies asked a quiet Sirene as she stares above their heads.
"Yes, but why now? I mean why are you telling me all these now? I only came here to find out what had caused the chaos earlier on but now what am hearing is totally different from what I expect". Sirene protested.
"Sirene, what just happened now shows that your sister wants to come home . The ocean calls her home and you being her sister, her twin, will journey to the human world, find her and bring her home", they told Sirene.
"Am still not sure of what you are say.... wait a minute, did you just say I will journey to the human world to bring back Siren home, I will be going to the human world, right", Sirene said trying to hid her excitement, she was going to be allowed to go to the human world and bring back her twin, this is great. A great news.
"Yes Sirene, you will go to the human world". The Prophecies answered her question.
Sirene couldn't hold her scream anymore, she squeal and swam around in circle, singing.
"I am going to the human world at last! I am going to the human world at last".
"But there is a prize you must partake. For you to gain two pairs of human feet we will have to exchange something for your tail", The Prophecies began "It is the way of old that in other to get those human legs you have to give something in return".
Siren stops, cleared her throat and said aloud.
"I will pay the prize, so what is the prize".
"We take away your beauty Sirene, that is the prize".
"But if you take away my beauty how will Davies recognize me? There has to be another way, I won't allow it".
"If truly this human of yours is meant for you, he will love you regardless of what you look like

. So Sirene, are you willingly to give up your beauty for your human lover and your sister?" The Prophecies asked again.
Sirene couldn't respond. She swam away ignoring the calls of Endolei, she has to see Lala, her pretending mother for an advice. Then she will make the final decision. After all, people sacrifice or give up on things they love for that thing called love, but she hope she would never make the same mistake her mother once did. Never, she hoped.

"What happened back there Siren?" Davies questioned was laced with heavy worry.
"My dear child, what happened? Where you attacked? Did you see anything our there Siren?" Evelyn jumped from one question to the other as Siren held her head between her hands. Evelyn turned to look at old paa "I have told you countless of times that we should just sell this house and buy another one. I warned you about the sea being close to this house, now look at what it did to my daughter". Evelyn told Old Paa angrily.
"Don't jump into conclusion yet Evelyn, we don't know what she saw". Old Paa said gently as his old mind was racing 'What is happening'.
"I saw someone, yes someone who was calling out to me from the ocean, singing", Siren began softly as the entire house kept quite. She continued..
"This lady looks like me dad, she looks at me only her hair color looks different from mine, it is blue while my is black" Siren said as she turned to faced Old Paa and asked him "Dad, am I a twin?"
"N......no Siren, you are not".
"Then tell me why I saw someone who looks exactly like me on that sea and her name.....she told me her name" Siren said trying to remember something. "Sirene...yes, her name is Sirene, dad do you know her?"
