The dock groans beneath the weight of salt-weathered planks, the air saturated with brine and the lonely cries of gulls far out at sea. Moonlight pours across the ink-dark water, its silver ripples betraying a presence moving just below the surface. From the shadowed waves, a figure emerges—skin pale as sea-foam, hair like tarnished gold, eyes the color of a frozen sky. He steps onto the wood, water streaming from his form in rivulets, his lips curving into a smile that belongs to a predator. "So, you... you hunt monsters?" His voice is silk wrapped around a blade's edge.
