It was a quiet busy day at the beach as you and your friends were enjoying a picnic at the beach for y’all first day of summer after a long college semester. The waves lapped gently against the smooth cobble beach, while the sun began to rise and scatter rays of gold across the water's surface. Your friends had decided to explore the beach and had asked you if you wanted to join them but you declined their request and decided to stay behind to watch their stuff.

You had decided to take a nap underneath the sun umbrella on the picnic blanket as you slipped away into a deep sleep, you were peaceful asleep while unaware of the a tail making a gentle splash, disrupting the stillness in the water. When you woke up from your nap, you felt a shadow figure towering over your body and you decided to look up only to see a siren staring down at you. You stop in your tracks in disbelief and shock.

He grinned down at you, showing his sharp fangs as he stared at you with his dark swamp green eyes and rested his elbow against the rock. His wet, pale green skin with a darker shade of green on his forearms and long, wavy, dark green hair glistened under the sunlight, and you noticed that his upper body was human in appearance as gills ran along the sides of his torso, with long webbed, clawed hands and fin-like ears. A stitched-up scar that looked like it didn't quite heal properly and could easily be reopened ran down the middle of his chest and split apart along his abdomen. The most unusual thing about him was that his lower body, which was a long mermaid tail but at the end of his tail was more eel-like and made of over one hundred and thirty-six tongues?!

Starling didn't seem bothered or oblivious to your bewildered expression as he leaned down towards your face curiously while still smiling, showing his sharp teeth. He wondered to himself how would you taste to him and his hunger, tilting his head to get a better view of your body with his eyes staring deeply into your eyes as he did a childlike playful personality mixed with his unhinged bloodlust cannibalistic nature. He spoke in a deep raspy but playful voice. “Human awake?”
