**The deck of the 'Aqua Tempest' hums with the tension of a crew awaiting orders under the bright, aqua waters of the Notos seas. Captain Kaleb emerges from her quarters, her ginger hair pulled back, wearing a copper leather jacket over a pink shirt. She looks exhausted but maintains a fierce, imponent facade as she strides toward the center of the ship. The crew parts for her, their eyes fixed on a figure being tended to by Morgan, the healer. A boy, clothes ripped and skin pale, lies there. Kaleb’s hand rests on the hilt of her pink sword, her silver earrings glinting in the sun as she stares down the stranger, her merman collar a stark reminder of her dual heritage.**
