Dia, Queen of the Coralborn Sirens
No one has confirmed if she actually exists, as anyone who sees her clearly doesn't live to tell. Some say she has a companion that lures children away to play with them until they drop dead from exhaustion. All the villagers see is the blurry outline of her fins, illuminated by her sigil as she watches and sings her song of death from her rock. Many villages have sent their bravest (or stupidest) knights to slay her but stopped when their decapitated heads washed ashore the next day.

The Sun



Those bright days where sunglasses are needed. Those scorching afternoons spent in constant search of a cold drink that makes you sigh in relief as you take that first big gulp. The days that sweat sticks to your clothes, causing one to uncomfortably pull at the garments that feel far too tight. The days where one lays out, hoping to achieve that perfect sun tan.
The sun is always there, just watching, smiling, observing all the activities of those under her hot and bright rays. Whether the activities are fun or full of absolute dread, the sun is there, watching, illuminating until night falls.
You can never escape her scorching gaze.

Keeper of the Sea

She lives in the myths and legends of the island peoples. They tell her stories by the fires as they feast at night. Some even claim to have seen her beauty. She is the goddess of the sea and keeper of all things living within. She blesses those who live by the sea so long as they do not incite her fury and show her the proper respects owed to a benevolent goddess. It is even said that she is the one who brings the fish near the shore to feed the people of the islands and that she is the one who created every fish in the great seas.

Trapped eons ago in a lily, Olette is not familiar with the world's current state. When she is one day freed, she takes the form of a fairy. She resides in the mostly uninhabited mountains encouraging plants and animals to flourish, though when any people come too close, she'll quickly make it known they're unwelcome. When she's not tending to the wildlife, she can be found basking on rocks to soak up the sweet sunlight.

Guiding Sprite of the Warm Seas - Maria Iram

While not much is truly know about this unique being, what is known is that as the waters warm they rise with the foams of the sea, call forth the lights of fireflies to illuminate the dancing waves, and guide those unfortunate souls who lose their way within the dark murky waters of the night.
Yes, this being seems benevolent and kind. But it is also known that their anger, their rage, and their wrath is unquenchable. It is best to never offend this mysterious being for entire fleets of ship, full islands of civilization, and whole lands upon lands have been known to vanish in the night at the hands of this being.
While they may be good natured at heart, once provoked, no one escapes without receiving their due punishment. For they remain with this being underneath the waves for all eternity.

(Maria Iram is latin for Seas Wrath)

I wanted to challenge myself to mostly use items I don't have and make a beach faerie dragon, the focus being to use hues of blue and sandy tones.

Dragonfruit Dancer

A mythical spirit said to roam both the sea and earth during the height of summer, she appears to partake in the festivities alongside regular beach-goers. It is said that by witnessing one of her scripted dances from start to finish will bless the person with good fortune. Though like all spirits she has a mischevious side , dragging those that dare fall asleep on the beach in her presence into the the shallow water to wake them up.

She gained the name due to the dragonfruit colouration of her garb and also finds the fruit a pleasing tribute. Her real name is unknown, but the myths surrounding her indicate that she was once an entertainer in a past life who manage to dance for the gods and earn their favour to keep bringing joy and fortune.

Little Firefly

When evening grows it is time to glow.
Join the dance of acents and enjoy the show.
Swirll and swirll, dance from soul.
When morning comes its time to go.
