About the story:

You've heard of sirens, but you've never heard the real story. This is it.

Tria spends most of her time with her sisters Del and Calli. They're happy enough with their life and their purpose until their people are threatened. Will they be able to do what's demanded of them to keep their people safe, or will it tear them apart?

Hi! What should I call you? Do you prefer a nickname? 

My name is Deleazo. I suppose you may call me Del.

Welcome Del and thanks for agreeing to talk to us today. 

I can understand that you mortals would want to know more about us.

Oh yes.  Before we get started, can I get you something to drink? Water? Soda? Coffee? Wine? Whiskey? 

Wine would be acceptable.

Excellent.  Tell me a little about yourself? 

I am the daughter of Achelous, god of streams and rivers. My mother, Calliope, is the eldest of the nine muses, daughters of Zeus. My sisters and I are the three sirens.

Where do you live? 

We live on the island my father created for us, far off the coast of Greece.

Do you have any jobs or hobbies? 

I prefer to spend my time flying or swimming, I suppose you could call those hobbies.

Flying?  Cool. What are some of your likes and dislikes? 

I like when you mortals praise my father as he deserves. I dislike when you're ungrateful.

Okay...What is your greatest fear? 

I fear nothing. Except maybe disappointing Father.

If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be? 

I'm a siren. My life is perfect, I'd change nothing.

Are you happy we know your story? 

Yes. I want to be remembered, always.

Are you in love? 

Never. I want to be revered, that's all.

Never is a long time. Who's your favourite person in the world? 

My father, although he's a god, not a person. All fresh water comes from him. Without him, nothing could survive. He is the source of all nourishment, and because of that, he deserves to be praised.

I kinda agree.  Do you have any special talents? 

Of course, we are the sirens. We can transform into beautiful songbirds to fly over our island and the sea. Our voices are irresistible, no one can ignore our song.

What's a day in your life like? 

Most days, I fly and swim and do as I please. Unless, it's a full moon. Those days are meant only for praise. If they remember to show the respect he deserves, humans come to the island to bring Father gifts. They dance in his honor and for his entertainment. We sing for our people and allow them to love us. Calli and Tria enjoy seeing the children and talking with the wives. I prefer to spend my time with the husbands.

Is there anything you want to say to your fans? 

Fans? You mean worshipers. I would remind them to remember their place and show gratitude to those that provide for them.

Can we look forward to reading more of your story? 

I'm sure it's bound to get interesting. Especially, if the humans continue to be ungrateful. There's no telling what Father might do.

Fair warning then. I think that's a good place to end the interview. Thanks for talking to us today.
