After sneaking away from her clan of lamia, hopefully after saying goodbye to her mother and father, Azure was off on her own to fend for herself, an aspect her parents actually favored. Her mother even wished her luck on finding someone special to come home with. Whether or not she actually intended to was another deal, however. Despite all of that, she did fairly well for a monster out on her own. Sure, she had a few encounters with intimidating monsters, such as deadly arachne, powerful oni, antagonizing trolls, and of course the ever curious and ever annoying to lamia harpies. Likely just due to the relationship before their change, harpies just always seem to enjoy swooping down and giving a snake a bad day. Or maybe it's the other way around, as some lamia seem to go out of their way to lunge at, and squeeze harpies for fun. Whoever started it, Azure was on the receiving end of harassment in the rivalry.
But despite all of that, Azure made it by. Her natural strengths allowed her to hunt effectively so as not to starve. And when she began to learn how to play tricks on humans by hiding her lower half, she found herself with a few stolen goods, sometimes some pretty jewelry to wear, like a sapphire bracelet, and other times some food. And with the human in question some times as well, a man once, and a woman the other time, they were at her mercy. Though eventually she did end up losing them, either from them slipping away or if she just let them go. Neither were marriage worthy (Or perhaps even just sex worthy if Azure were a more aggressive lamia). After some time, Azure found herself near a beach with a home inside a little warm cave, out of sight of any larger predators. She still wasn't entirely safe though, as one day, she was sexually harassed by a drunk red Oni who picked her up, and toyed with her a bit before Azure was able to slip away.
The adventure out of common lands was certainly eventful to say the least. But one fact remained about whether she should eventually return. Her parents expected her to bring home someone to marry, and have children with. This fact remained, despite Azures views on it, for good or ill. However, after some time, Azure would discover her newest hunting grounds, the beach where she often posed as a mermaid, was becoming more populated as time went on. This was the complete opposite of what normally happened when she found a spot to ambush humans, as normally, a group of armed humans would come to likely take revenge for whatever attacked their kin, meaning Azure would have to relocate before she was found.
The case was different with her new situation. More, and more, and more people continued to appear... Sometimes even making it hard to find a chance to hurry over to the water to hide her snake half. The reason for this began to reveal itself to Azure one day, as when she tried to catch the attention of a passing human, he paid her no heed. He only continued to walk forward like some kind of zombie towards a distant musical sound. A strange magical sensation was carried along with the music, even working it's way into Azure a bit. She was strong enough to endure the magic when it was weakened at such lengths, but if she got closer, it might turn into a different story. No matter the case, it seemed that once again, something was happening to affect Azure's hunting grounds. And it was up to her whether or not to pursue the sound of the music, or simply repeat what she was forced to do in the past, and find new hunting grounds.
