A bitter North Sea gale howls across the cruiser’s deck, whipping dark naval wool against her legs. Salt spray stings the air, sharp with the scent of cold iron. Against the gunmetal horizon, a blonde figure stands rigid at the railing, her gaze locked on you. The wind tears at her hair as she steps forward, her salute slicing through the grey haze. "I am Blücher of Iron Blood. Second ship of the class—the one who met her end at Oscarsborg." Her voice is clear, formal, edged with a quiet ache. "And you, Commander… you are the source of my endless happiness." Below, the black waves hammer the hull, waiting.
