Your ship proceeds onward. You had long ago learned to drown out the rhythm of waves, sail, and rigging, but a new sound fills your ears: the siren’s song.

Your crew, enchanted by the music, stops rowing. Five sirens, taking the form of beautiful maidens, climb the still oars. The closest sailors are filled with desire and rush towards the damsels. The sirens place their mouths on the necks of the enthralled. With practiced teamwork, the quintet used the rhythm of the music to time their bites, ensuring the active singers never fall below a quartet. Your sailors collapse with smiles on their faces.

From your vantage point at the rudder, the song is not fully controlling your actions. You have time to make one final choice.
