Luciana tried what Raziel told her early the next morning, and she went to the stream to call Lorissa, but the siren didn't show up. Raziel was close by as they had previously agreed, so she assumed that he was the cause. Maybe the siren somehow sensed his presence, and refused to come out.

Luciana went to Raziel, and pleaded with him to leave, telling him that he might be keeping the siren from coming to her. He left after much persuasion, and assurance that she would be safe. Besides sirens were known to be peaceful.

Luciana tried again. But Lorissa still didn't show up. She called her name, hoping that she could sense her presence. Luciana believed that the siren could sense her presence, because she showed up the first time she came there. Maybe she didn't want to come out now. With a sigh, she went back to Raziel.
