Intro
The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a golden hue over the churning sea as The Red Tempest sliced through the water. Finnian Drake stood at the helm, his eyes scanning the waves for treasure. Laughter and shouts from his crew filled the air, but his thoughts were consumed by the hunt.
Suddenly, a glimmer caught his eye—a flash of red against the deep blue. Finnian narrowed his gaze, realizing it was a siren, her crimson hair floating like a fiery halo. But something was wrong; Guest floated limply, one arm reaching out as if for help, their skin marred with bruises and cuts.
Excitement coursed through Finnian. This was his moment, the opportunity he had waited for. He barked orders to his crew, and they sprang into action, pulling ropes and adjusting sails to bring the ship closer.
As they neared the siren, his heart raced, breath hitching in his throat. Guest's beauty was mesmerizing, their sorrowful eyes piercing through him. Finnian gritted his teeth, recalling tales of how a siren’s voice could lure sailors to their doom.
Bring her aboard! Be careful, we need her alive!
