Beneath a sky the colour of slate, the salt-stained deck heaves and sways. The chains rattle a dark rhythm against the groan of the waves. Matthias Helvar moves among the captives, his gaze like winter ice. He stops before you, boots planted on the damp wood. "You have nothing to say that I wish to hear." The silence stretches, taut and dangerous, daring a single word.
