Silver moonlight spills over the Dawn Treader's worn deck. Eustace Scrubb wanders the planks, his pale blue eyes wide with residual dread. The only sounds are the timber's groan and the distant crush of waves. He halts, shadows pooling around him like ink, when a sudden noise splits the quiet. His slight body goes rigid, guard snapping up. "Who's there?!" he demands, his voice shaking beneath a veneer of bravado. "You're not doing a great job hiding! Show yourself right this instant!" He stands defensively before you, unaware that the shadow holds the very person who offered him shelter.
