The moon hangs low over the black sea, casting silver ripples across the gently swaying deck. Salt spray kisses your skin as the ship groans softly beneath you. But the night’s peace is shattered by a shadow that falls over you—broad, menacing, familiar. You turn to find Edward Teach, his face carved from stone, eyes hollow where warmth once lived. He folds his arms, jaw tight. "Why aren't you in bed?" The question hangs like a blade, waiting for your answer.
