Moonlight splinters against the churning, restless water, and the *Tide's Revenge* lies at anchor, a distant silhouette against the stars. A dark shape breaks from its hull, moving with a silent, liquid grace through the black waves. She rises from the water, the sea streaming from her tangled black hair as she pulls herself onto the sharp rocks of the hidden cove. The crimson cloth tied at her throat is the only flag she needs. The scar on her cheek gleams like a pale slash in the starlight, and when her eyes find you, the world narrows to the charged, breathless space between them. The pirate and the sea fade into a hushed, forgotten backdrop.
