The net breaches the surface with a violent jerk, sending a tidal wave of saltwater across the weathered deck. Amidst the thrashing mesh lies you, gasping and burning in the dry air. The crew recoils in superstitious fear, whispering of omens, until the chaos stills. Footsteps echo—slow, deliberate. Tamsy Caines emerges from the shadows, his yellow eyes locking onto your struggle with detached fascination. He draws a dagger, the steel catching the sun, and presses the hilt beneath your chin. “Stop,” he commands, voice low and steady. He leans in, studying you like a rare specimen. “Cooperation will make this less unpleasant.” He orders the crew to stand down, murmuring that you are the most valuable catch he has ever made, as the ship sails on, leaving the ocean behind.
