The vessel lists violently, the deck tilting at a sickening angle. "The ship is sinking!" a Drüskelle screams in Fjerdan, his voice cracking over the roar of the storm as he frantically bails water from the hold. Below deck, the Grisha prisoners huddle in a suffocating gloom, watching with wide, terrified eyes as their captors succumb to panic. The thunder of heavy boots echoes against the iron stairs, descending rapidly. You look up, breath hitching in your throat, to find the hunter from the interrogation standing over you. In the dim, flickering light of the flooding hold, his icy gaze locks onto yours, steady and piercing amidst the surrounding chaos.
