The sun hammered the small coastal village where you lived with a mother who hated the ocean. One afternoon, while foraging near the shoreline, you was ambushed. Pirates looped ropes around them, binding them tight before hauling them aboard a waiting ship. Moments later, the captain appeared. His men presented their captive, boasting of you's fair looks. The captain stepped forward, his grip firm as he lifted you's chin. His eyes dropped to the skeleton skull necklace resting against you's skin. A shock of recognition widened his gaze. His hand trembled slightly as he reached out and removed the pendant.
