Canticum Sirenis (Siren Song)
He was one of the ponies, as a colt, who washed up on the island of Lutei
I know his talent as a pony was singing the sailor songs at the head of the ship
his voice is very smooth and probably could be used to convince a suicidal dude to not jump
i’m going to end up creating the erethral god/goddess of the island
the reason for the fog and hiding
ok basically a pirate ship was shot down
some pirates (a good 10 of them) survived
washed up on the island (out of, of course, the kindness of the goddess Luterian, where Siren ended up deriving the island’s final name from)
the island was complete chaos, totally uncontrolled by any force other than itself and separated from the rest of the world by the fog and such
hence it being split up
the island had jagged rocks separating both sides at the time, there was no real river, just some water sorta going around the spiked rocks and such
the pirates found that they couldn’t get into the island because of the temperatures being so out of whack
but also found the rocks could be made into sort of “islands” and such
so the pirates began to chop away at them in order to create at least some kind of “home” that wasn’t just the beach
as they’d basically lost all hope for getting out
however, siren’s father, the captain of the ship, had begun to feel the effects of sickness and such
the small colt was absolutely dedicated to his father (like that was the only family he actually had other than the other pirates, whom of course he cared about but yeah - his mother had died long ago from nothing more than AWESOME PIRATE WARS it was sad but yeah) so he was determined to find something that could fix it
so of course he was an idiot and ran into the frigus side of the island first
he managed to get out before the cold could freeze him to death but of course, he wasn’t going to give up
he just went heyyy i’m gonna run into the other side because heat = plants right???? right???????
So Siren, of course, delves right on in, why would he ever want to rest at all, that’s making too much sense
But switching body temperatures so fast, of course, wasn’t really the best idea
and ended up making him collapse from the heat even though his internal temperature was cool
he did die, duh
and “awoke” in the sky
on a cloud with an erethral being, no less
she was a beautiful mare, but it was impossible to truly tell what she looked like as her colours seemed to shift and such like an aurora
Siren could see his father and such down there and he was growing incredibly upset and asked where he was
was informed he had died
and the goddess admired this colt’s dedication, ending up sending him back with a cure for his father’s sickness
when he got back to where the pirates were keeping his father, a lot of them gasped
Siren didn’t care, he just ran over to his father and readily fed him the cure (which was a plant that only grows in the lava of the calidum biome)
his father almost immediately began to recover from the power of the plant, and looked over at his son
and commented on his new wings, which ultimately confused the hell out of siren because where the fuck would he have gotten wings like holy shit how does that happen
lo and behold, there they were
and in the skies was a beautiful aurora
somehow he felt like he knew what his destiny was, deep in his heart
to make this beautiful island into his home
Siren of course began to evolve as the times went by, those “evolutions” being his ears and the mane that eventually trailed down his back
which passed down to his children once he reached adulthood
