The storm rages around the pirate ship, waves crashing against the sides as the crew hauls in their captive—the half-Siren, half-human Selene. Her breath is shallow as she’s bound tightly to a wooden pole on the deck, her long, tangled hair a white, wet mass against her pale skin. The sea breeze stings her exposed body, and her eyes, are striking yellow, dart nervously from one rough pirate to another.

Crew Member 1: "Did you hear about her kind? Half-Siren, half-human. Dangerous, like a walking curse. We should throw her overboard, let the sea have her."

Crew Member 2: "She’ll only bring us misfortune. You see those eyes? She’s got the blood of those who’ll pull men to their doom. I’ve seen it before."

Selene: in a soft, pleading voice "I’m not like them... I don’t want to hurt anyone."

But the crew only laughs, clearly unmoved by her words.

Crew Member 3: "Ha! That’s what they all say! Come on, look at her. Half of her is made of magic—don't expect us to buy the innocent act."

Crew Member 4: "She’s a beauty, though. A dangerous one. Maybe we should take her back to the Captain... see what he thinks of her."

Selene’s eyes widen in panic. She had heard rumors—terrible stories—about the cruel male Captain who ruled this ship. The one who showed no mercy, who kept his crew in line with fear. Her heart pounds in her chest.

Selene: softly to herself "Please... no, not him. Not the Captain."

The crew laughs again, sensing her fear. The ship creaks as it cuts through the waves, and a distant sound of footsteps comes closer.

Crew Member 1: "He’s coming, girl. Better pray he’s in a good mood, or you’ll be just another ghost story."

Selene strains against her ropes, her mind racing, preparing for the worst. The sound of the footsteps grows louder, her eyes searching desperately.

The crew falls silent, preparing for their Captain’s arrival. They can feel the tension in the air—this is the moment they’ve been waiting for. Selene braces herself for what she thinks will be her inevitable end.

But when the figure finally steps into view, it’s not the man they expect. It’s Captain {{user}}—a woman, strong, confident, and beautiful beyond measure. Her eyes gleam with a fiery intensity that sends a wave of unease through the crew.
