many a creature live among us human folk, and one of those many species is that
going by the name of 'skiren' or 'skirens'; sometimes even referred to as 'skifolk'.
they are humanlike in build, although have a cousin that is closer to them than
us; that of the sirens, the ones whom terrorize the sea with their song. it's an
obvious relation, even hinted at from within the names... let's just say the one
who name the species was not too happy with his relationship with a certain
skiren. anyways, skirens are a normal within society. skirens dress like us, they
eat like us - with the exception of some things - and they act like us.
there are a few key differences you must spot when differentiating a skiren
from a human. one, they appear to have different ears which can flatten
against their head and flare up at will, and many will describe them as a large
clump of feathers. second, they have light, bird-like wings; albeit they do not
show their wings all the time: these wings are guarded by a seal - disguised as
a tattoo - somewhere on their body. most of the time the seal is hidden from
view, and the most common place for them to appear is beside each eye. every
seal appears in the form of two wing tattoos. when the skiren releases the seal
on their own command, their wings appear on their back. third, every siren owns
a mask, whether they wear it or not, for having their mask is tradition and rather
important for their health. however, children must have the mask at all times.
much more is still to be learned about the skiren society; some things shrouded in
mystery, and for good reason. one day we humans will discover those secrets and
react accordingly... and that reaction depends on what the secret may depict. one
piece of advice for you; do not anger a skiren, for they may sing you to sleep...
permanently.
