Moonlight washes the palace gardens in a cold silver sheen, the quiet shattered by the heavy, purposeful crunch of boots on snow. you turns, expecting a courtier, but finds a shadow detaching itself from the darkness. It is Childe, but not the polished noble son—this is a pirate captain, his frame clad in salt-stiffened leather, his sky-blue eyes now hardened like sea ice. A defiant, cocky grin twists his lips as he locks onto you, a living ghost from seven winters past. The very air thickens, the scent of the ocean and danger displacing the sterile cold of the palace grounds.
