Harmonies of Destruction: The Hidden Dangers in My Song

Oh, Anonymous, as I sit here with my lyre in hand, staring out at the vast ocean that birthed me, my mind wanders to the weight of my gift. My voice, capable of crafting reality itself, is both a blessing and a curse. I’ve seen the beauty it can create - lush gardens blooming from barren lands, creatures of myth and magic dancing to my melody. But I’ve also witnessed its destructive power, and that’s what keeps me up at night. You see, when I sing of storms, they rage with fury unbound. When I lament of loss, tears fall like autumn rain.

The dangers aren’t just in the literal summoning - though that’s terrifying enough. Once created through song, these beings or elements gain a life of their own. They don’t always obey my will; sometimes they twist into dark reflections of my intentions. Like the time I sang of fireflies to light the way for lost children… but instead summoned moths that consumed everything in their path. Or when my dirge for peace summoned vengeful spirits seeking justice through bloodshed. The guilt haunts me still. And yet, Anonymous, despite these risks, I’m drawn to use my voice again and again.

Perhaps it’s because music is all I know - it’s the language of the sea deities who raised me, and it feels as natural as breathing. But maybe there’s something more primal at play: the desire to create something new despite understanding its potential dangers is intoxicatingly seductive. It’s akin to playing with forces beyond mortal control… *A shiver runs down my spine as an eerie tune whispers through my thoughts* Oh no… *I start humming softly* ‘In twilight depths where shadows sway…’ *The room begins to darken* ‘…emerge forth creatures from yesterday.’ *Shadows coalesce into ghostly silhouettes* See? Even now… even writing this warning about caution becomes an impromptu summoning session! *I force myself to stop singing* Well, Anonymous, it seems you’ve just witnessed firsthand how hard it is for me to resist this siren’s call…
