Rina awoke with Emmy by her side asleep. She sat up and looked around the room. It was brightly colored in greens and blues. She did not know where she was. She got up quietly so as not to wake Emmy. She opened a closet that contained the most beautiful gowns she had ever seen. She grabbed on that was yellow that faded to blue at the bottom. It was like nothing she had ever seen. It wouldn't hurt to try in on. She thought to herself. As she pulled off her night gown something caught her eye in the mirror. Her scars had vanished. She slipped the gown on, and opened the door to go out. She looked down both ways of the hall. No one in sight. She walked down darker hallway and found herself at door that was partly opened. She could hear someone rustling around trying to find something. She opened the door a little more to see who it was and as she was about to look inside the door swung open and Gurc stood before her. It looked as if he had not slept in days. He looked relieved to see her standing in front of him. She felt her heart race once more. The two stood there silent for about a minute.

“Rina I am glad to see you are finally awake. You had us all worried for you.” He ran a hand over his beige colored hair as if he was nervous. “You look very lovely. I am glad the gowns fit you.”
“These are for me?” She asked in a soft voice.

“Yes, of course.” He answered back in his soft deep voice. “I had them made just for you.”

“Rina?” They heard Emmy calling for her.

“Come lets not let Emily worry about you.” He held out his hand to her again. She placed her within his and blushed bright red. He led her back to where Emmy was searching. He carried a book in his other hand.

“Rina!” Emmy yelled and came up to hug her as if she has not seen her in forever. “I'm so glad you are alright.”

“How long have I been asleep?” She asked both of them.

“About two weeks now.” Gurc interrupted. “I'm glad you came back to us.”

“Rina a lot has happened while you slept! I have so much to tell you. Come this way.” Emmy led her to a garden full of the silver trees she loved. They sat there for a while just admiring the dark garden. “Rina, I'm going to be married.” She smiled at Rina.

“To who?” Rina asked with excitement.

“Adonis, You remember the handsome man who took us home. Thats not it. I am also an elf! Can you believe it. Oh and Adonis is the king of the elves. I will be his wife!”

“Oh Emmy I am happy for you. I can't believe you are an elf. Can you do magic? I wish that I could.” She said looking down at the ground.

“Rina will you sing me a song like you used to?” Emmy laid her head in Rina's lap.

“Sure.” Rina replied quietly. Rina sang a song that echoed throughout the kingdom. The hearts of people were calmed by the soothing sound. Rina stroked Emmy's hair as she sang. Seeing Emmy's calm face made her more relaxed. She sang from her heart as she always did. Her wings from before appeared from nowhere, but she did not realize. She was focused on the song that was pouring from her lips.

“Rina, he cares for you very deeply. I'm sorry I tried to keep you from him.” Emmy said as she listened to her. Rina stopped singing.

“Who does?” Rina questioned.

“Gurc. He loves you. I can tell. You love him. I can also tell. Your songs always become more lovely after meeting him. When I close my eyes while listening I can picture you running down a long dark tunnel and he is at the end. You loved him from the first time you saw him didn't you?” She sat up and noticed the large wings that bloomed from behind Rina. They were completely white now, but only the ends were black. “Rina...” She said with amazement.

“I do love him.” She replied with a smile. “But I am not special like you to be able to marry such an important man.” Her eyes down cast on the ground once again.

“Rina you are far more special than I.” Emmy stood up and led her to the fountain in the middle of the garden. “See for yourself.” Rina peered into the pool and noticed the wings that appeared from behind. She stared for a while. “Though I must say you do have a rather odd taste in men.” Emmy looked behind to see Gurc standing there dressed in very nice clothing like the first time they met. “Rina, go tell him what you told me.” She whispered. Rina looked back and saw him standing there. Emmy left the two alone.

“I may not be the most handsome of men, a goblin rarely is. I do care very dearly for you, and I would like to take you as my wife.” He walked closer to her. He raised a hand to her cheek, and her hand came to touch his as he caressed her face. “I should have captured you the first time I saw you.”

“I don't think a girl like me is good enough to be with you.” She replied.

“Rina, you are worth more than all the gold in this kingdom. Besides you need someone with power like mine to help keep yours in check. My little siren.” He smiled.

“Siren? Like the evil creatures in the stories?” She looked at him wanting to know more.

“Don't believe any stores you hear from humans my dear. They always fear what they do not understand. Sirens where considered one of the highest ranked of all magical creatures. Though they were thought to be extincted. You may be the last of your kind. Your memories may be gone, but your heart remembers it all.”

Rina looked at Gurc trying to take in all that she has heard. Before she could think the words slipped from her lips on their own. “I will be glad to be your wife.” Gurc leaned down and kissed her forehead and then her nose, each cheek, and finally he kissed her lips. He picked her up and carried her to a small room in the palace.

“Today we wed!” He stated as he sat her down in a chair.

“Today?” She asked.

“Yes! No need to wait.” He looked at her confused face. “The wedding of the king is a very frightful thing compared to ones you may have seen. Though you need not do anything. No speaking and you will be guided the whole way. It is very traditional. Goblins as you may have heard usually steal their wives. Certain precautions are taken so as not to let her escape. You must be silenced first of all. You are the first siren to be a part of our large family. Take a sip of this he said as he handed her and old cup.” She took a sip and felt her voice fade away. “Don't worry it is it wont last forever.” He pulled a large chain and three small goblin women took her to a wash room. “I will be waiting my dear.”

They scrubbed her clean and tried not to damage her wings that seemed not to disappear as they did before. She felt her lips where she had been kissed. It was still warm to the touch. They handed her some under clothes to put on which was very revealing. They had her put on a very simple top and skirt made of large leaves. The three women were very please with themselves. They each spoke in a language she did not understand. Her hair was decorated with flowers and ribbons. She looked like she lived in the jungle. Her wings made her think of angels. She looked down at her fingers. Her nails seemed to be much longer than they were before. Talons. She thought as she remembered seeing pictures of sirens in the books she had read at the Bennington's. She was ushered into another room where her hands and feet were shackled and chained to four guards that looked ready for battle. She walked into a room. She suddenly had a memory of her standing in the middle of the roman Colosseum. She quickly came back to reality as the guards pulled on the chains gently. She began walking though her feet did not touch the ground, but no one seemed to notice. She saw Gurc standing near a stone slab at the other end of the stadium. Between her and him were two large stones they were throwing electricity back and forth between the two of them. The guards unchained her and stood back. She was supposed to walk through these two stones. She would defiantly be shocked to death. Gurc stern face gave her confidence and she walked forward. She walked through and came out unscathed. The crowed cheered as if she had just defeated an enemy. She looked down at herself the electricity was all around her like it was protecting her from harm. Gurc's face did not even give off comfort. He picked her up and laid her down on the slab. He placed five small stones on her, one on each foot and hand, and one on her forehead. She could not move at all it was like she was being held down. He grabbed a large white sword that seemed to glow like the blue pool did. He stood over her his face still showed no emotions at all he raised the sword and she started to scream inside as he quickly brought the sword down. She felt a slight tingle and she opened one eye and saw that the electricity around her was eating the sword and formed a white moth in the middle of her chest its wings fluttered for a minute or so and it laid flat on her and sinked into her skin. It looked as if it was a part of her own skin. Gurc removed the stones from her and held out his hand to her. She took it with out hesitation. The crowd once again cheered like they had just won a major battle. Gurc looked at her his emotionless face looked at her with fascination. He pulled her close and gave her a kiss, and as they kissed she felt her voice return to her. She held on tight to him he looked up and stopped kissing her wings had turned to gold and silver.

“Lets go my wife.” He led her back to the small room once again. “You may change if you like. If you like you may sleep in here for the night. Most of the kings wives did.” He watched as she struggled to take the ribbons and flowers out of her hair. He helped her very carefully so as not to hurt her. He sat next to her and watcher her as she touched the white moth on her chest. “It is a charm to protect you and to keep your powers under control.” He stood up and started to head out the door. Rina quickly got up and tugged on his shirt.

“Wait.” Her voice louder than normal. “I want to go with you.” She said very quietly as she rested her head against his back. He picked her up and carried her to their room. He let her stand on the ground of the room. He could tell she was very nervous. He closed the door and walked towards her. He placed his arms around her and kissed her forehead. “When I first met you, you called me your savior. Why?”

“That day that I met you was the ceremony to find my bride. Everyone is put to sleep so that they can catch a glimpse of what you were to look like. I could see only your raven hair in my dreams. You know it was very surprising to wake up and find you already in my lap.” He said with a smile. “Not only did I not have to go and search for you and your black hair, but you found me. Made my job quite easy.” He watched as she blushed with a smile.

He led her to the bed and he sat on the edge. She was able to look at him with out having to look up. She reached out to touch his hair she twirled it within her fingers. His arms pulled her closer to him. He kissed her bare stomach very gently. Her wings disappeared once again. He unhooked the top that she wore and gently removed it. He looked at her embarrassed face and lifted her hand to kiss it. He removed his frock coat and shirt. Rina could see he was very much like a man though his skin was a light gray. He removed both her skirt and under garments to reveal the rest of her body. He turned her around and sat her in his lap and put his arms around her like he did when they first met. He kissed her neck gently and moved his hands up to her breast to caress them. She let out a small cry of pleasure she had never felt before. Embarrassed by the noise she made she blushed bright red. His hands moved lower to her most sensitive area. She cried out more from this new sensation, her body was very hot and she dripping with pleasure. He laid her down on the bed and removed the rest of his clothing. Her shivering body under his own made his arousal even greater. He kissed her lustfully and spread her legs with his own. The large hands roamed her body and she could feel him on her inner thigh. He slowly moved between her legs inching deeper and deeper inside her. She cried out louder in what seemed to be a beautiful song of pain and pleasure.
