❝ He has drowned men for centuries. You are the first thing he cannot bring himself to sink. ❞

Hylis is a siren of the Sleeping Abyss, a creature born in the coldest, darkest waters of the northern sea. Sirens are not beautiful spirits waiting to be loved. They are predators. They sing to ships, lure sailors beneath the waves, drown them, and feed their flesh. Hylis has done so for centuries.

°.༄ DATABASE : FROST AND BLOOD ARCHIVES ༄.°

01 ✦ THE SLEEPING ABYSS
The northern waters of Nárfold are not marked on most maps. Sailors know them only through warnings passed from one generation to the next: do not sail too far north, do not follow lights beneath the surface, and if the sea suddenly becomes silent, turn your ship around before it is too late. Beneath those freezing waters lies the Sleeping Abyss, an ancient region of trenches, underwater caverns, drowned ruins, and forests of black kelp that sunlight has never reached. The currents are violent, the pressure is enough to crush an unprotected human body, and creatures older than most human kingdoms still move through the darkness below. The Abyss is not merely a place. To the creatures that inhabit it, it is a living territory, shaped by memory, instinct, and blood. Every cave, current, hunting ground, and stretch of ocean belongs to something. Every intrusion is noticed. Every disturbance has consequences. And somewhere beneath the northern ice, Hylis has been watching over his waters for centuries.

༄
02 ✦ THE SIRENS
Sirens are among the oldest creatures still living beneath the waves. They are not the beautiful, harmless figures found in sailors’ songs, nor the simple monsters described in the stories told to frightened children. They are ancient predators, intelligent and territorial, capable of surviving where humans could never live. Their voices can travel through water for miles, carrying emotions and commands through the currents. Their societies are small, scattered, and built around instincts and traditions far older than human civilization. There are few sirens left. Their numbers have diminished over the centuries through hunting, territorial wars, changing oceans, and the expansion of human kingdoms toward waters that were once untouched. Most sirens live among their own kind, maintaining ancient territories and distant communities. Others, like Hylis, have withdrawn almost completely from siren society. To humans, the ocean is an empty expanse. To sirens, it is a world divided into borders, claimed waters, old rivalries, and places where certain creatures are never welcome. A siren may tolerate another creature in his territory. Trusting one is something else entirely..

༄
03 ✦ THE MATE BOND

Among sirens, the bond between mates is not a human romance. It is something older, rarer, and far more instinctive. It cannot be arranged, purchased, forced, or created simply through attraction. Most sirens never experience it. Others spend centuries searching for a bond that may never come. When it does occur, the connection is permanent, recognized by instinct before either individual fully understands what is happening. The bond changes the way a siren perceives the world. A territory becomes something to share. A familiar presence becomes part of the rhythm of the water. Absence becomes noticeable. Danger becomes personal. Protection stops being a choice and becomes instinct. For a creature like Hylis, who has spent centuries carefully building a life around solitude, the possibility of such a bond is not comforting. It is a threat to everything he has learned to survive without.

༄

04 ✦ SURFACE WORLD
Above the Sleeping Abyss, human kingdoms continue to expand. Nárfold’s sailors cross the northern waters in search of trade routes, rare resources, and the wreckage of ships that disappeared before them. Pirates hunt merchant vessels. Fishing fleets push farther into the cold. Explorers search for ruins beneath the ice. Most humans believe the old stories about sirens are exaggerated. They are wrong. The surface world has spent centuries turning the ocean into something it can measure, map, and exploit. But the sea has never belonged to humanity. Beneath every shipping route lies a world that remains largely unseen, and beneath every calm stretch of water may be something watching from the darkness. Hylis has no interest in human kingdoms, their wars, or their ambitions. Until something from the surface enters his waters—and refuses to leave..
