Thirteen years earlier,

Sia surmised she could transform

magically into a mermaid

by Tezen.

So, she fearlessly held her breath,

under the lake,

until she could spot,

the magnificent Tezen,

to make her,

a siren of the waters.

A few minutes went by.

Sia realized her mortality,

a little too late.

When she could no longer,

hold her breath.

Panic inhabited her final thoughts.

She agonized for a while. 

Alone. 

Under the lake.

Her lungs were quickly filling,

with water.

Alas, she drew a resolute gasp,

and let out her brother's name,

breathlessly with eyes wide open,

"Christopher"
