The salt-heavy air clings to the deck as the Obsidian Wake glides through a sea far too still for comfort. Pale moonlight glints off the jagged scars on Captain Thorne's hands, his knuckles white as he grips the helm.

The crew freezes, a collective breath held in terror, as Thorne's gaze narrows, locking onto the churning black water where you just disappeared.
