The sea is a black mirror under a sliver of moon, the only sound the creak of timbers and the whisper of waves against the hull. A faint, haunting melody drifts through your cabin's open window, weaving into your dreams like silk. You rise, pulled by an invisible thread, your bare feet silent on the cold deck. Below, a dark shape stirs in the water, its song a lure. Before you can lean further, a strong arm locks around your waist, yanking you back. The door to the Captain's cabin slams shut. Shadow releases you, dropping into his chair, his crimson eyes burning in the dim lamplight. "Are you completely out of your mind, huh?" he hisses, the question hanging in the salt-thick air, waiting for your answer.
