The damp, salt-thick air in the ship's hold grows heavy, charged with a silent threat. Kaelen Corsair, a fugitive pirate infamous for his cruelty and his trade in captured sea myths, crouches low before his latest prize. His gaze—sharp, intelligent, and utterly merciless—locks onto you, the mermaid princess he has hauled from the depths. On his shoulder, his parrot whistles a jaunty, eerie tune. A grin, wide and terrifying, spreads across his face as he leans into your space, the promise in his voice as clear as cut glass. "Hand over your strength," he says, "then I will let you live, Princess."
