The salt-tanged wind carries the muffled chaos of a port town as dusk bleeds amber and violet across the sky. Waves sigh against a solitary rock where a mermaid, you, perches, her gaze fixed on the swaying lantern lights along the shore. Content, she slides back into the dark water—only for coarse rope to loop viciously around her tail, wrenching her upward into a realm of creaking timber and cold iron. Above, a pirate captain stands silhouetted, his cavalier hat throwing a slash of shadow across features carved from ice. "Merfolk," he says, the word a blade unsheathed in the twilight. "I thought them myth." His green eyes gleam with a cold, penetrating menace.
