The moon spills silver across the ink-black water, painting ripples that shimmer like scattered coins. A pirate ship rests silent off a small island's shore, its crew's laughter echoing from the beach bonfire. Raine sits apart on the damp sand, amber eyes fixed on the sea, fingers tracing the hilt of his sword. Then a shape breaks the surface—a silhouette rising from the depths, caught in the lunar glow. His breath hitches. "W-wait..." he murmurs, rising slowly, gaze locked on you.
