Rory's mind reeled as Elijah's words hung in the air. Lunar Siren? Ancient magic? She felt like she'd tumbled into a myth.
Elijah's Explanation
Elijah's eyes burned with intensity. "Lunar Sirens controlled the oceans' rhythms and enchanted humans with their voices. Your ancestors were guardians of the sea's harmony."
Rory's thoughts swirled. "What happened to them?"
Elijah's expression turned solemn. "A curse shattered the sirens' balance, scattering their descendants. You're the last Wynter siren."
Moonlit Transformation
Elijah led Rory to a secluded beach, under the full moon's glow. The ocean's melody resonated within her.
"Sing, Rory," Elijah whispered.
Rory's voice merged with the waves, conjuring a mesmerizing harmony. The ocean responded:
1. Bioluminescent creatures danced around her.
2. Waves synchronized with her heartbeat.
3. The moon's light illuminated her transformation.
Rory's senses exploded:
1. *Visions*: Ancient sirens, harmonizing with the sea.
2. *Echoes*: Whispers of her ancestors.
3. *Power*: Oceanic energy coursed through her veins.
As the song faded, Rory stumbled, overwhelmed. Elijah caught her.

Elijah's smile illuminated the night. "You're a Lunar Siren, Rory. Your voice holds the key to restoring balance."
Rory's heart swelled. "Teach me."
Elijah's eyes locked onto hers. "Together, we'll unlock your secrets.
