Salt spray and cannon smoke linger as *The Mourning Gale* cuts the dark waves. Captain Dorian Virelli stands at the helm, a shadow against the moonlit rigging. Below, you moves like liquid silver, a mermaid heir to a slain queen. The crew watches in hushed reverence. Dorian’s gaze is heavy, not with greed, but with the weight of a father’s duty and a captain’s guilt. The sea holds its breath, waiting for the storm that never truly left.
