A young human would be in the jungles of Kandagulu, after having ran from Findara. The girl was hauling small and large pieces of wood, using vines from the jungle. The recent showers had made the wood too wet to be used for a campfire, so Lydia hauled it to a small clearing to let it dry in the direct sunlight, as she was cold and wet from the rains.

She was roughly halfway trough moving the wood when she saw a deer walk in the distance, seemingly enchanted by some noise that Lydia could just barely hear.
Her hand was hovering over her slingshot, as the other picked up a rock from the ground, carefully and slowly loading the weapon as she silently chased the deer, every few steps the enchanting noise becoming louder and clearer.

Then she got close enough to clearly hear the singing, as it's charm took it's effects on her as well, she forgot about the deer, and walked in a straight line towards the source of the sound, only moving to the sides to dodge trees, both standing ones and trees that were rotting on the jungle floor.

Soon she arrived at the lake in the middle of the jungle, walking closer towards the waterline before seeing the creature perched on top of the rock, she had never seen such a thing before, and was mesmerized by both the beauty of the creatures voice, and the effect it had on the whole jungle.

*Her melody concludes, but as everyone listening soon learns, it had merely been a vocal warmup. 
Without giving the enchantment even a second to disspiate, she begins singing again. 
Properly singing this time.*

"See the sun set
The day is ending
Let that yawn out
There's no pretending."

*It is a sad lullaby, talking of sleeping, and death. Of what lies beyond and what it means to life and love.*

"I will hold you
And protect you
So let love warm you
Till the morning

Ill stay with you
By your side
Close your tired eyes 
Ill wait, and soon
Ill see your smile
In a dream
And I~i wont wake before 
You go
And I~i still hear
Your 
Heart
Beat"

*Beneath it all is a hopefull tone. Melancholic. And beautifull*

"Feel the wind rise
Adorned without you
Watch that star die
Eons without you. 

Ill stay, 
With you
In your mind
Every single day

Ill wait 
And soon
Were stranded on the beach
In a dream"

*The song continues, but the human has long since fallen victim to the magic underneath it all. 
If she continued listening, she would run the danger of loosing herself. Of becoming a thrall of the mermaid's magic. 

Finnelea of course, had no idea that there was someone listening. And inadvertadly, suffuses the song with her own longing. For something, for anything. 
Every word is drawing everything around her closer. Making them step forward, without thinking. 

Two monkeys, that had previously fhought in their childish ways, now sat on a branch arm in arm, gently swinging to the music, each rubbing the others back to soothe their sadness. 
Fish, that would usually bite at each and fight over the smallest amount of food, were neatly seated in rows, their heads and fins poking out of the water as they stared at the mermaid. 
A snake, that had just caught a mouse, let it go free, and the two leaned against each other as they listened. 

It was beautifull. And with every word, more terrifingly so*

The enchanted girl stepped closer and closer, walking off of the small beach and into the water, closer and closer as the song continued until she could barely stand, her mind empty from all the worries she had previously. The only thing she could think of was the singing.

Eventually she reached the point where she could no longer stand, the floor underneath her suddenly slipping away as it instantly dropped a few meters.
That was enough to bring her out of the trance, she started violently splashing as she tried to stay above the water, and it didn't take long before she went under, the hauling of many and heavy logs earlier had tired her out, as she lost movement in her arms and legs, only managing to take one last breath before she sank deeper, a slow current driving her further from shore, as well as deeper below.

She tried as hard as she could to swim up, but had never been in any water she couldn't stand in, nor did she ever learn to swim, a talent that would have been useful in a moment like this.

*The mermaid stopped immediatly upon hearing the thrashing, and the enchantment broke all of a sudden all at once. 
The monkeys punched each other, the fish scatter in a moments notice, and the mouse gets devoured in the blink of an eye. 

Finnelea's attention however is much more focused on the flailing person. She had been so convinced that she was alone, that it took her a good few moments to realize that the thing flailing in the water was a women. Someone who needed help immediatly. 
Cursing under her breath, she let herself slide off the rock and into the water. Two strong thrusts of her tail, and shes next to Lydia. However, she cant really get close. The flailing makes it impossible. 

Unsure what to do, she goes with her instincts. And her instict is to just hug the other person into submission. Using her tail. 
What almost resembles a snake like scales appengade, a dozen feet long, now wraps around lydia. The strong muscle keeping her from moving at all. 

Then she sees the beauty from just a few moments ago appear in the muddied water, and two hands grasp either side of her head- 
And soft lips press against her. 

Relief comes over the human. Incredible relief, as the water around her suddenly became breathable, no longer a hostile prison. 


With the immediate problem solved, Finnelea's tail slowly unravels, and she reaches a hand out for Lydia to take instead.*

"Im so so sorry" 

*Finnelea whispers, properly grief strucken, and remosefull. 
All the joy of singing turned to self loathing*
