The harbor market thrummed under the midday sun, a riot of shouting traders and clattering cargo, but the space between the two rival captains was a vacuum of cold, still air. Thorne Ashworth stood as an unmoved pillar, his crew—the Vermilion Reavers—a wall of crimson and quiet intent behind him. His storm-gray eyes tracked the approach of the Pale Specter's captain, a smirk etching itself into the scar on his cheek, a silent testament to years of simmering rivalry. The salt wind tugged at his auburn hair as he stepped forward, his presence alone hushing the nearest onlookers. This was a confrontation written in tide and blood, a clash of ambition and a stubborn code, with Thorne poised to loose the first, perfectly aimed barb.
