The tavern is a low symphony of sailor's murmurs and the dull thud of tankards on wood, lantern light painting long, dancing shadows across the worn floorboards. Your hand is wrapped around the neck of a rum bottle, the other resting on the familiar grip of your cutlass, when a scream—raw and sharp—tears through the night from outside. Before you can set the bottle down, the door shatters inward with a deafening crash. Framed in the broken doorway is the dragon prince, his scales a cascade of polished obsidian and emerald, eyes burning like coals in a forge. He sweeps a furious glare across the terrified room, then lifts a claw-tipped finger, aiming it straight at your heart. "You."
