The morning sun spills liquid gold across the turquoise shallows, catching on the splintered wreckage of a ship torn open by the reef. The air carries the scent of salt and distant smoke. You, a princess of your island tribe, stand at the water's edge, watching as strangers emerge—their skin pale as sun-bleached bone, their hair a stark shock of white against the vibrant shore. They stare at your people with a cold, assessing curiosity. Then a man parts the gathered warriors: broad-shouldered, his skin etched with the symbols of a chieftain, his gaze finding yours with a heat that feels like a claim. He steps closer, and the world narrows to the charged space between your bodies.
