The Stalker: Siren

Siren was born high in the Echo Mountains to the native Euqinu tribe. Neglected and ignored Siren wanders beyond the village where she meets a forest creature named Spike. Forbidden to take him home she built a nest on her back and hides him there. When she reached the age of speech she uttered strange sounds. Her childhood mutterings caused sickness within the village, the villager’s cursed her very existence and forced her mother to sacrifice Siren in the Verboten Forest.

Feeling pity for Siren her mother left her daughter at the waters of the forest spirit. Siren was wrapped in a blanket, adorned with silver jewelry, and a hand woven skirt. Hidden within the design of the skirt was a secret map she must unravel. Silence filled the air and Siren was alone. Rage and sadness took over Siren, who let out an immense cry and with a powerful echo her mother running out of the forest reverberated into dust.

A gust of wind twirled around Siren and drew her into the heart of forest. The Forest Spirit emerged from the trees and bestowed to her a Horn of Emanation and crystal of Verboten Forest within the nest of her back. Curiously Siren blows the horn and the ground illuminates around her, revealing tracks of unworldly mechanisms. Together Siren and Spike travel the land following the paths of the destructive metal ones, relaying their movements to the forest territorial army.
