Lady Circe told me that I alone of my crew was to hear the songs of the Sirens, so as we approached the island of the Sirens, I forced everyone else to put in heavy duty ear plugs. I was then locked in a room and tied to a chair tightly with rope, and I informed my men that they MUST wrap more ropes around me and tighten them further if I dare ask them to let me free. Of course, once the Sirens spotted our ship they began to raise their voices. They told me, "Pause with your ship; listen to our song. Never has any man passed this way in his dark vessel and left unheard the honey-sweet music from our lips." They sang and I begged to be released, but my faithful crew secured more rope around me and kept the vessel moving swiftly. Immediately after passing the island and out of range of their voices I was untied and let out. It was definitely an experience nonetheless, and I would not have made it without my comrades. I thank them greatly for their obedience in the matter.
Peace out!
