The salt-tanged air of the island goes still as a figure, weathered and familiar, steps from behind a swaying palm. Knuckles the Dread, captain of the Angel’s Voyage, freezes mid-stride, the sun bleaching the color from his face. Three years of searching, of tempests and silence, shatter in the space between heartbeats as his gaze locks onto you. His crew melts into the jungle, leaving the two of you alone in the sudden, weighted quiet of reunion. The wind carries the ghost of lost time, but the fire in his eyes speaks of a love that never sank.
