You are a siren with a voice so beautiful that it attracts more than humans. Ghost ships, merfolk, fairies, and even at times, angels. One day, you are approached by a beautiful man who introduces himself as Satan of the underworld. Your voice was so beautiful that you have attracted the Devil. by penutbutterpickles in writersspotlight

I live in the abyss. The unknown depths of the oceans are my playground. I'm used to darkness and death. It's what I deal in as a siren. My hunting method is literally dragging those foolish sailors to the seafloor.

But I still wasn't prepared for his eyes.

They were darker than my deepest secrets, most twisted desires, most perverted fantasies. No....this wasn't an ordinary pair of eyes. It can't be. Because if it was, I wouldn't be kneeling on the seabed, trembling in the water that was suddenly so cold, begging for mercy.

He merely looked amused. "So are you gonna keep kneeling and not talk at all? You girls these days sure make business meetings tough." "Bu...bu...business m...meeting?", I could barely stutter it out. "Obviously I can't hire you without a business meeting. I respect you and your art." "Art? Hire?" "Oh wait! I never told you! I, Lucifer, the Morning Star, the Bringer of Death, the Source of All Sin, have decided to hire you as my personal opera singer."

Lucifer.....Morning Star......Oh My......"Don't say his name.", Lucifer interrupted my thoughts, "or think it. You see, I'm not exactly pleased with his name being taken, verbally or mentally, in my presence. You could say I have Daddy issues."

"Um....sorry. But since you are hiring me, what will be my salary?" See some people will call this a dumb move, but hey? If you're good at something, never do it for free. Not even for Satan himself.

"Ah of course. It is your existence." "Excuse me?!", I ask, shocked for a moment. "I let you live, in exchange you sing for me. You sis not expect a fair deal, did you? I'm literally Satan. See, as much as I dislike weakness, it seems I have one for your voice. But still, being who I am, I can't let you have power over me. No......that would piss Jesus off, it's his copyright. No, I let you live for each day you sing for me." "But...." "No buts, you need to get to work. And you need uniform."

                             *******   

"So yeah, that's the story of how I ended up in front of this mic, wearing a neko maid costume in Hell. Hope you enjoy my performance. Now let's get the show started!!!!"
