{Aria to Sunset} “Oh hey. If it isn’t that one chick. What’s her name again?” Aria rubbed her fingers together in thought. “Sunrise? Is that it.” She circled the other woman, shark-like. One might even hear the Jaws Theme playing the way she eyed Sunset like meat now that she had her alone. “Where’s your harem, Sunny? Anyone around to get your back?” Her hand traced where her gem used to be. {{hope this is ok lol}}
Sunset looked up from her book, “Astronomia Nova" to glance at the voice speaking to her. She took notice of the former siren circling her, and she rolled her, sighing to herself and flipping the page.
“Aria, was it?” She said dully. “What do you want?”
Thankfully, Sunset wasn’t most people. She had only heard tales about the infamous Siren Shriek. It was stated that without magical protection or proper hearing protection, the damage from the shriek could cause someone to go deaf.
Sunset groaned aloud as the blast hit her, pushing her back a few inches, but she dug her boots in tight pushed forward, refusing to fall. Her ears rang with a high pitched tone, but she managed to power through it and block it out, giving her head a shake.
While the blast was loud, she didn’t think it was as powerful as it should have been, especially since she had given Aria that blow to the throat earlier. If Sunset hadn’t have done that, she might been in trouble.
Baring her blood-covered teeth, Aria let out a howl of frustration when the woman hadn’t fallen. Most people were knocked over by that shriek. Even after their gems had been broken. She wasn’t at full power but she should still be able to knock this dumb bitch down.
At her breaking point already, the siren jumped to her feet and threw her arms out. At first it looked like she was about to call it quits when suddenly her new black gem began to let off an unearthly glow. And all around her a shield of light formed to protect her. Though her throat hurt and her nose was broken, she managed to sing.
On the ground remained the image of the battered human woman singing, her voice a sultry mezzo. But rising above her the opaque image of her monstrous siren form appeared and from its throat a baritone that growled and beckoned. The song was designed to inflict the urge of self-harm upon the listener.
Only the strong of will could resist. The shield around the human form would protect her while the siren administered its spell. But the siren was not invincible. Magic could face it.
Sunset let out a groan as spell hit her, finally dropping to her knees. She fingertips seemed to sharpen into claws as she gripped her head, groaning in agony. She felt… pain. It took over her, swimming through her core. She wanted to hurt herself.
As she reached out with a claw, aiming to slit her own wrist, a voice in her head, stopped her. ‘Let. Me. Out.’ It said. But Sunset couldn’t verbally respond. She couldn’t tell her yes. But it didn’t seem like the voice cared.
With a scream of rage, Sunset’s eyes blacked, and her skin took on a blood red hue. Suddenly, a large column of fire erupted from where she stood, shattered every window around the two girls. The smoke hadn’t even cleared hardly when a new, red skinned woman rushed at the siren with an intense speed, snarling, her teeth baring in a rage as a fist cloaked in black fire aimed directly at Aria.
