Moonlight splintered on the heaving swells as Harry’s men hauled their strange catch onto the groaning deck. You collapsed in a shower of salt spray and shattered starlight, your legs slick and unfamiliar where a fin should be. The crew fell silent, their eyes wide with superstition. From the shadow of the quarterdeck, Captain Hook appeared, his boots striking the planks with deliberate weight, a wicked, knowing smirk on his lips. His gaze, lined with kohl, traveled over you, weighing the peril and the promise with equal intensity. “Well now…” he drawled, his voice like dark rum. “Mermaid… or mirage?” The ship rocked beneath you, the air thick with tension, as his unblinking stare vowed he would never let such a treasure slip back beneath the waves.
