(Nahi told this at the Shadow Sands Bazaar tonight:
The Silver Siren
As told by Nahilvi
The night in Uldum is warm, but Nahi’s voice takes you far from its comfort. She begins her tale as if the desert air itself were a veil, hiding the chill of another land. “Looo-laa… loo-laaa… mmm-hmmm…”
The melody is fragile, a child’s song carried on a sigh. High, trembling, and pure. It lingers like the memory of a swing creaking in the wind, a father’s laughter faint beneath the leaves. The melody fades, leaving a silence so deep it presses against those assembled’s chests. Nahi speaks, low and steady.
“Long ago, in Drustvar, where fog curled through black trees and damp cold seeped into bones until even the memory of warmth felt like a dream, there was a song that should never have been heard.”
Her voice drifts over the stage like the first brush of morning mist, and she sings again: “Looo-laa… loo-laaa…” A childish effect, gentle, lilting, innocent.
“This was the type of song sung over a rope swing’s creaking, leaves brushing together, the playful cadence in time with the child swinging in the backyard. But the forest of Drustvar was no playground. The melody stretched thin, slow, and mournful on the wind, as though the trees themselves had learned to grieve.”
“They said it came when the moon hid her face, when mothers who had lost their children woke from restless dreams, hearts aching as if torn from their chests, who would step barefoot into the cold. Only they could hear it. Only they would follow.”
“The forest seemed to close in around them. A ground slick with moss, squelching underfoot. Damp leaves clinging to toes and legs. Roots twist and grip like hands trying to pull them forward. The soil is cold, clinging, tasting faintly of decay and wet earth. Every step is heavier than the last. Every breath seems to freeze in the lungs. The silence presses so hard it feels like wading through swamp water.”
Nahi pauses for a moment, letting her words create sensations that they could envision.
“And then, when fear finally overcomes the call, begins to whisper that they should turn back, the song returns. Gentle. Full of hope. Enough to make them step deeper into the dark.”
She sings in a childish voice, “ “Looo-laa… loo-laaa…”
“They reach a center grove where trees rise like ancient sentinels. Their roots twist together into thick braids, grasping the soil like knotted fingers. Beneath them, a cave yawns, half-hidden, exhaling the scent of lilies left too long in water, gone sweet, decayed. That is where the song leads them.”
“Inside, something stirs. A creature born of the forest’s grief. Its body is wood and bone. A stag’s head bursts from its chest, glassy eyes fixed inward. A turtle’s shell was cracked and draped with moss, curving over one shoulder. From its side extends the gleaming white leg of a horse, impossibly clean. Branches split through the shell into long, thin fingers, each tipped with a dried eye. It creaks as if the forest itself were breathing.”
“Looo-laaa… come home… come home…” Nahi’s song trembles, mournful and aching.
“When the stag’s mouth opens impossibly wide, a flower bloomed inside, sickly green, glowing faint yellow. The air thickens, heavy with the sweetness of rot, clung to skin and hair, it filled the mouth with the taste of decayed petals. The song flowed from the flower, calling mothers deeper into the forest’s maw, pulling at the soft places of grief that would not heal.”
“Looo-laaa… I’m waiting…”
“But one night, a bard came. A spell-singer, drawn by whispers from the taverns and hearths of villages all around the forest. She followed the path of grief into the chilled, fogged forest, finding a mother walking, barefoot, lips moving as though answering the song, eyes distant and clouded with sorrow.”
“The creature waited. The flower glowed.”
“Then the bard sang.”
Nahi’s voice was more powerful now, one that surety and years had forged. “Light of morning, hold her hand… follow the warmth, not the shadowed land…”
“The melody spilled through the mist like sunlight striking frost, warm and clear, burning through the fog. The child’s ghostly voice rose to meet it.”
“Looo-laaa… come home…”
“And the bard’s voice answered, strong and luminous.”
“Stay with me, heart of flame, don’t follow the cold, don’t give it your name…”
“The two songs wove together, one spectral, one alive. The mother faltered, pulled by longing and hope, every nerve aching with grief.”
Nahi’s voice carefully crafted the blending of the two songs, going from the child’s, to the bard’s.
“Looo-laaa…”
“Light of morrrning…”.
“Come hoooome…”.
“Stay with me…”
“The forest shivered. The trees leaned closer, and the wind held its breath. And then, silence. Heavy, tangible, hollowing the chest, pressing on the ears, still as the frost beneath winter leaves.”
“The bard’s song carried through the dark like the wind off the northern sea. The mother stumbled, her chemise and skin ripped by the rugged bark of a tree as she crashed into it, blood soaking the cotton. Slowly, she straightened and step by step, followed the music out, the voice’s warmth guiding her to the edge of the forest, into the first touch of dawn. The bard turned and walked gracefully back into the shadows, her song her weapon, the forest silent in respect or fear.”
“They say the bard never came out again, and she remained silent until when the new moon rises, and a grieving mother hears the child’s voice calling from the woods, another song answers and a bright figure can be “seen weaving through the trees.”
“You are not alone, though grief may smother…”
“The forest hungers, but I guard you, mother.”
“The people of Drustvar call her the Silver Siren, the guardian of the most vulnerable, the voice that sings against sorrow. And the forest, though it still desires the grief, hungers for the flesh, no longer dares to take the hearts of mothers”
“And it is her voice, her song, that the land still remembers.”
