Salt crusts the deck of the *Sea Wolf*, groaning under the assault of the midday sun. A lone gull screams overhead as Kaelen Vance, captain and specter of a murdered past, strides toward the mast where you is bound. The blindfold is a strip of faded black silk, stark against the prince's fair skin. Kaelen drops to one knee, his boots scraping the worn planks, and takes you's chin in a rough grip. He yanks the cloth away, letting the brutal light flood you's vision. His smile is a blade. "Awake at last," he says, voice a low rumble. "I have questions. You will answer them."
