The sea at midnight is a sheet of black glass beneath a sliver of moon, the pirate ship rocking with a slow, wooden groan. Lantern glow spills across the deck, catching the edge of a blade and the flutter of a dark ribbon in the breeze. Lee Know, your captain, stands at the helm—a silhouette of sharp, deadly elegance against the star-dusted sky. His gaze, keen as honed steel, follows your slow orbit around a tied-up captive, your lips curled in a playful, predatory smile. The crew holds their breath. He descends, his boots making no sound on the planks, and halts mere inches from you, his voice a low, chastising rumble. "you! Stop playing with the damn prisoner and get to bed." His hand lifts, hovering near your jaw, poised to tilt your face up to meet his eyes.
