Islene Abysstide
the Kelpcurl Siren
Named for the hidden island that surfaces only at the lowest tide, and the web of kelp that binds it to the deep.
Power
Kelpweave — you can coax kelp into living knots, lures, or tangled walls, but every tug of the strand leaves a lock of your hair brittle as dried seaweed, and your scalp is starting to map where your power ends.
- Familiar
- a sea butterfly named Flit
- Tide
- the Kelpcurl Drift
Every dusk you lie belly-up in the kelp canopy and let the tide rock you until your thoughts scatter like sand fleas. That is when they come — the crabs that sew shell hats, the spirit of a drowned pearl diver who keeps trying to press his pocket watch into your palm. You never take it, but you hold his hand until the moon tips the current and he drifts away.
