They also have the ability to heal at a rapid speed and create portals made of water. Their abilities however have no effect on other supernatural beings.

On the island of Samoria in the midst of the Mediterranean sea a war had been raging for over thirty years. Between the Elves and the Sirens. A war started by the Elves in an attempt to control the sea. While battles were few and far between hostages and prisoners were taken.
To have a relationship with the "enemy" was a crime punishable by death on both sides. Not even a child was protected from the sentence. So when Ravina the daughter of the Siren Queen and the Elven warrior, Harslan fell in love they knew that not even the queen could save them. When she became pregnant they realized there would be no keeping their child.
Ravina gave birth during the battle of Drecmora. Harslan had no choice but to leave her alone. As soon as the child, a girl, was born she began to cry. She wished Harslan could see their angelic daughter. Sadly he was on the battlefield.
Bundling the baby in a shroud to protect her from prying eyes. She snuck past the patrolling guards toward the sea. As she swam away from the island of Samoria , she prayed to Poseidon to protect their child.
Arriving on the shores of Greece she knew she had to find a safe place to leave her precious baby. She was wondering the streets crying when a woman walking along the cobblestone stopped her to admire the baby in her arms. " She is perfection.Why are you crying?"the woman questioned.
Ravina explained to the woman that she could not keep her daughter. "Is there a safe place to leave her?" she asked. The woman pointed to the church at the end of the road and wished her luck.
As she walked into the church she saw a priest standing at the altar. Ravina walked toward him cradling her newborn to her heart. The priest turned and asked, "How may I help you, Your Highness?". Ravina took a step back shuddering as she asked, " Who are you?". The priest raised his hands and said, " I will not harm you. I know of your war. Many magical people come to me for help. That is all I want." Ravina took a cleansing breath and held out her baby before responding, " Protect her I beg you." Then she kissed the infant on the head and disappeared into a portal.
The priest was actually a wizard. The church actually a safe haven for the supernatural community. He had spent over five hundred years of his life protecting others from the humans and other dangerous beings.
So, though he knew the risk he could not bring himself to turn over the child. Instead he wrote an account of all this child would need to know as he cared for her over the course of a year. After which he boarded a ship to the states. In hopes of her never being discovered.
Little did they know that a spy had followed Ravina and the child to the waters edge. Reporting to king, Yarrtan, of the Elves.
They learned of her parents crime. Ravina and Harslan were interrogated and tried. Never giving the location of their child. So after their executions the king placed a bounty on the babies head.
Ravina's mother, Queen Seania, however was so distraught over her daughter's death. That she used her location ability to find her granddaughter. She ordered guards to protect the child at all cost.
And So It Began!
