Sea Sirens. This strange, infectious power was a subject of endless debate among researchers.
Some said it was a type of relic, while others claimed it was a creature hidden within sound itself.
If creatures could exist in the air, in the water, and even in magma...
...then why couldn't they exist in sound waves?
Sea Sirens would follow anyone who heard them, parasitizing the sound within the person's body. Then, when hungry, they would devour all living things around their host.
When they manifested, the outward sign was the appearance of a nearby island.
A beautiful island, from which an alluring song could be heard.
Odysseus was one such human who had been parasitized by a Sea Siren.

Ever since the discovery of Sea Sirens, humanity had been searching for their true form, but to no avail.
However, they did manage to figure out the source of the Sea Sirens' power: sound.
