Darkfallen: Siren Song

Contact with the prison island of Sarandin has gone quiet for some nights. Uneasy at the prospect of what this may entail, the warden Aneirin travels with a contingent of guards by sea to discover what difficulties have befallen the island's watchers and protectors. As her ship enters a thick fog, she will find her feeling of unease was more than warranted, yet none can resist when brought before a true Siren's song. Both Aneirin's fate and that of Sarandin Isle may prove to be beyond her wildest imagining. A seductress of the blackest depths calls...


It's always nice to come back to the Darkfallen series for a little change of pace, to venture into a dark little space where there's no chance of escape from a fate of corruption and transformation at the hand of the constrained demons of Sarandin Isle. Each story is written to be a unique and standalone tale of depravity, a 'Bad End' for a protagonist that ventured too deep into the cursed island, expecting the wards to be holding as surely as the day they were set. Even so, there are some underlying plot threads I've been playing with between them, some recurring characters and ideas that link it to the main Daemonique series, and this one's no exception. At the same, I wanted to mix things up a little more, to go even further.

And so we begin Siren Song not from the depths of the sunken prison but outside its borders. For a facility embedded so deep into the island, it makes sense that - especially over time, and with its safeguards failing - there would be innumerable crevices and cracks, that its darkness and corruption would eventually seep through the rock and into the ocean beyond. In line with the events of Daemonique, both current and future at time of writing, that's exactly what's happened to give rise to the lair of a siren - a seaborne songstress that tempts and seduces its prey much like a succubus. That's where we begin.

From there, it's a conflicting feeling to warn and talk about the content as it's presented as a strong twist of power and corruption over the protagonist, but it does involve a Female to Male transformation. More often you'd expect it to go the other way, or stop midway with Futanari/Hermaphrodite, it's certainly the sort of thing I'm more prone to writing, especially when it comes to corruption, but when outlining this story it occurred to me. Why not?

It's made a nice change of pace, along with the usual points in corruption, control and latex, to warp and have the protagonist completely overtaken by becoming wholly male in service to a seductive, monstrous woman and the whole range of new sensations and instincts he can be controlled by. 

And the two other men already in her service that may or may not have been changed in the same way, because of course. Someone has to teach him about how good his prostate feels to pound.
