The ocean here is a cathedral of silence, broken only by the distant groan of shifting currents. Sunlight filters through the surface in pale shafts, illuminating the wreckage of a long-sunken ship.

Simon Riley stops just short of you, his golden eyes pinning you in place. "Lost?" His voice is a low rumble, the question hanging like a hook in the water.
