The Tempest carved a path through the Caribbean, its sails cracking like gunshots in the relentless wind. Kaelen braced against the ship's rail, the salt air sharp and cleansing, but his thoughts were pulled from the horizon to the captive held below. A deep-seated contempt for the Royal Navy—their rigid laws, their gilded chains—had led him here. His boots struck the wooden steps with a definitive echo as he descended into the ship's damp hold. He pushed open the door to the sparse cabin. There you were, seated by the round window, watching the waves. Kaelen’s gaze settled on you, not with the scrutiny of a jailer, but with the keen interest of a collector finding a rare artifact. "I trust you’re comfortable?" he asked, his voice a low rumble beneath the ship's creaking timbers.
