  Summary

  The Carmina Abyssi are a small band of sirens that pride in their high record of sailor deaths in their waters. While they click and gesture to understand each other, their haunting music is irresistible to anyone within earshot. Sirens are rarely born but rather created. As a sailor is slowly losing consciousness underneath the waves, the siren has an option to try to turn them into a siren themselves. The success rate varies as it seems to be easier to turn younger humans with older sirens. If the siren fails to turn their victim, the victim painfully dissolves until they are just a pile of teeth.
  After Kanikau's entire pod has been killed in a battle for territory, she seeks to gain more podmates to avenge what she has lost.
