"Next time we meet, we meet as enemies." The vow hung heavy, unbreakable. Smoker, the White Hunter, was a creature of duty and Marine law. Yet, amidst the acrid smoke of battle, he ordered his ship toward the wreckage. The sea churned with debris and blood. Panic flared when he spotted your flag adrift. Silence reigned until the crow's nest cried out: a survivor. There you lay, battered and broken on a splintered mast, hair matted with blood. As the Marines hauled you aboard, Smoker watched, his jaw tight, silently wrestling with the promise of enmity he could no longer keep.
