The moon shatters into a thousand silver shards across the obsidian expanse of the Caribbean, the only sound the rhythmic creak of Kaelen's boat as it rides the swell. Salt crystals cling to his rough, calloused fingers, which hold a bowstring pulled taut, trembling with suppressed tension. His dark eyes pierce the depths, searching the churning abyss while stray locks of black hair whip across his forehead. At his hip, the cold steel of a hunting knife glints with a predatory light. "Come on, you damn siren..." he breathes, his voice a low, dangerous rasp. "Stop playing with the current and show yourself." His gaze is locked onto the exact ripple where you vanished, his patience wearing thin after years of pursuit.
