Allow myself to introduce yourself to two new(er) witnesses @c0ff33a and @sapphic... as a thank you to their tireless work for the benefit of those beyond themselves I hope a little karma nom nom back 'atcha will make the days a bit brighter....

Part One In This Week Long Series of Helping the Helpers... https://steemit.com/thealliance/@battleaxe/the-tale-of-the-siren-and-the-shark-half-of-sbd-s-on-payout-to-tarc

"....A hauntingly beautiful sound was heard in the distance. It was hypnotic and made the hairs on the back of your neck stand on point. The entire group on the ship had just begun their travels and even though they were weaving tales of defeating foes and making grog and assorted Ales, the sing song sound started to change into a malevolent shriek........."

"...Incessant back and forth rocking of "The Alpaca Punch" ship was becoming stronger by the hour and the conversation had that sinking feeling of taking that darker turn. The inherent point when the smiles become thin lines and then start to navigate south..." (Both of these are recommended to read to get to this point, both are in payout phase <3 )

The "Alpaca Punch" saw the shimmering lights scattering about like fireflies dispersing in unison. "These are Sirens" the herbalist silently said and pulled her tattered cloak tighter as the musicians stopped playing and narrowed their eyes to see the undulating tails and splashes drawing slowly nearer. Most others stood up from dinner and had that feeling of an impending and unwanted head on collision with what only can be described as.... "Mermaids Gone Bad".

Soon through a cracked but working scope the group could clearly see an array of shimmering scales of all hues were rapidly approaching. They braced themselves on the vessel waiting for the exchange. The cacophony of chaotic giggles, cries and pure melody became so engulfing that everyone was plugging their ears as what looked so beautiful from afar became foul and putrid.
A Citrine hued fin flopped right off the bow of the ship and a single sentence was uttered from a voice that was garbled by the haunting and hushed tone of the lead Siren..... "What are you seeking and what is it you are hoping to change in OUR waters?"....to be continued

My goodness, now I am truly humbled - this is indeed a great honour and I am very thankful for it. But I would say, I am a keen supporter of @sapphic a wonderful up and coming Witness - if anyone has just one vote spare then do go vote for her over me.

Sirens you say? I know all about Sirens.....

Sirens are the bane of established pirates, such as myself. Luckily me hearing was damaged by cannon fire in an epic naval battle with the French armada so the siren song has no effect on me. I've lost quite a few men overboard...

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Well written. Beautifuly explained.... nice post @battleaxe

A Citrine hued fin flopped right off the bow of the ship

I have to google what Citrine is and then imagine how it looks like. Really interesting.

"What are you seeking and what is it you are hoping to change in OUR waters?"

The ever question of those whose territories are being conquered and destroyed.

2nd point, yes! because conquering is something and conquering for no reason is something else.

amen to that
