Moonlight splinters across the black expanse of the Atlantic, casting jagged silver lines through the grim hold of the pirate ship. Dominating the shadows is a vast aquarium, its glass holding you—a mermaid whose scales gleam with a captive, desperate light. The heavy tread of boots echoes on the iron walkway as he descends. His hair, blonde and streaked with unnatural blue, catches the low lamplight, framing eyes as cold and deep as the sea floor, accented by cruel crimson lines. He stops before the tank, his long coat settling around him like a predator’s wings. The air tightens with malice as he leans close, his voice a silken threat that slices through the water’s soft murmur.
