Even as a demon, I have limited power against the sirensss. They’ve captured his mind, turning him completely against you. Don’t you remember what he said at the Trialsss? Let me help you.
He returned a small piece of the trial to my memory.
“He’s snapped completely…”
I huffed, my throat suddenly starting to close up.
They’ve all turned against you, Henrik. I’m all you have now.
I swallowed, my hands trembling once more.
I’ll get you out of here alive,he continued.I’ll get you back to your family. With my power, you’ll gain back everything you’ve lost and more.
I leaned against the bars, out of breath. The cold metal bit into my sweating forehead.
I couldn’t fight anymore. I couldn’t. There was nothing else worth fighting for anymore.
I slid to the floor, everything turning to black once again.

She wantsss to talk to you.
“Who?” I asked, my lips not actually moving.
The woman who ruined you. The woman who took your family from you. The little siren who’s suffered nothing for her crimesss.
I felt my heart clench, a conflicting pain of hate…and the desire to see her.
Don’t forget the pain she’s caused you.
Suddenly, it felt like I had been struck by lightning. I screamed, the sound echoing off the walls of wherever I was.
It hurtsss, doesn’t it?Dagon asked.I can get rid of her, if you want.
I knew what he meant by the phrase“get rid of,”but I wouldn’t allow that.
I didn’t know why, but I just couldn’t.
Suit yourself,he said.Why don’t you talk to her then; I’ll stay with you. I’ll protect you from her. I’ll keep you from her ssspell.
I felt myself sit up against a cold wall.
The prison. I was still in prison.
Then my eyes blurred and she came into sight. I exhaled, wondering if I could be entranced so quickly. Why was she so beautiful?
Remember what she did to your brother, Henrik. Remember what she did to you. She made sssure you’re still a laughingstock.
I clenched my jaw.
“You shouldn’t be here,” I said.
Her eyes widened in shock, then closed in relief.
“Oh, Henrik, is that you?” she asked, her voice light and airy.
That’s how sssirens capture you,Dagon reminded me.I’m protecting you from that voice now. Ssshe’s using it to charm you.
