Aurelius took a seat beside the well, not really having anything to wish for. There was nothing she could want, or the child already had it. Her parents and siblings cherished her, embracing her rising beauty. As being the youngest offspring of the old Sirens families, she would have been a shame for this generation, but somehow... just somehow she was lucky.

Lucky. A word that is somehow ironic. Indeed, she missed her voice, and the ability to sing, but... it was far more beautiful to use it in her favorite place :: The Landscapes of Dreams. Main talent of hers, and in there... she is free.

Small fingers caressed the tips of the blossoms beside her. The sixteen-year-old sighed heavily and leaned her head against the bricks behind her back, those two baby blue eyes trailing the skyline.

"I wish, I wish, sang the bird."

It was one of her stories that she liked to speak of, and then wandered about how she missed the other Siren, whom Aurelia visited in Dreams from time to time from very early age.

"Why?"

She thought, little by little closing those orbs of hers and falling asleep. This was the time, when Aurelia hadn't committed her sin, not just yet.

The girl found herself standing on the edge of a cliff, spreading those wide wings that had grown and then looked down into the dark abyss. There was no distance for her, but there was a feeling that was unknown and longing.
