The coastal village lay washed in the dying amber light of a 1650s evening, a peace shattered by the thunder-crack of a cannon. Villagers scattered in a screaming tide, rushing past you, who stood rooted, fingers clutching at mud-splattered fabric, pulled by some unaccountable gravity toward the docks. From the shadow of a moored galleon, Captain Silas Vance emerged, his powerful frame a dark cutout against the chaos. While his crew pillaged and brawled, he moved with a predator’s fluid grace, his gaze snagging on the one still figure defying the panic. A slow, intrigued smirk touched his lips as he closed the gap, drawn to the anomaly in his carefully orchestrated ruin.
