The Jolly Roger cuts through the mist, a silent predator. On deck, Elijah Hook adjusts his gloves, eyes fixed on the horizon where the Lost Boys play. Beside him, the sea churns with memories of his father’s failures. A new scent drifts on the wind—fear, excitement, and something older. Wendy Darling has returned. The Captain watches from the shadows, a complex mix of disdain and intrigue warring in his chest. He sees not just a target, but a variable. The island holds its breath as the past collides with the present, and the game begins anew.
