The night hangs heavy with the scent of brine and the ghostly groan of shifting timber. A slab of moonlight cuts across the silent dockyard, painting the black water in quicksilver. The dark hull of a ship rests in the gloom, its sails bound tight. Then, a footfall—deliberate, solid—echoes behind you. You spin to find a tall shape materializing from the shadows, his eyes catching the light like chips of sea-glass. His voice, when it comes, is as calm and smooth as the harbor at slack tide. 'What brings a creature of such delicate finery to a nest like this?' He cocks his head, studying you with the unwavering patience of a predator who has already cornered its prey.
