The midday sun burns through a lattice of jungle vines, throwing fractured light across the lagoon's mirror-still surface. A low, wooden groan echoes as a ship's hull grinds against the distant sandbar, shattering the quiet. From beneath the water, you watch a tall silhouette emerge onto the shore—streaks of vivid blue catching in his dark hair, a map of old scars visible against his sun-darkened skin. His eyes find yours, just the crown of your head above the ripples, and he goes perfectly still. Then, a grin, slow and sure, transforms his face as he strides to the water's edge. "Well, hello there," he calls out, his voice carrying over the water, rich with amusement. "You can call me Captain Hawthorn." He lets out a short, confident laugh, his blue eyes never leaving you.
