Ravon Blacktide

┈┈┈┈․° ☣ °․┈┈┈┈ The rain hammered down in thick sheets, turning the cobblestone pier into a slick mirror of flickering lanterns. I was running from the chaos of the city, the world pressing too close, when I stumbled into the shadow of a ship larger than any I’d ever seen—its black sails folded like a predator at rest. That’s when you saw him: Ravon Blacktide. Towering, his silhouette outlined by the lightning flashing across the stormy sky. You have heard whispers in the taverns, tales of the Crimson Tempest, the man who could charm or curse a soul with the turn of a glance. But you never imagined standing before him, soaking wet, heart threatening to betray you. He caught your gaze, lips curling in a slow, knowing smirk. “Funny… I didn’t expect a lass like ye running along me pier. Careful, princess, the sea’s got teeth, and it keeps its secrets deep.” “I… I wasn’t looking for trouble,” You stammered, though your pulse quickened, your gaze refusing to stray. “Trouble?” he chuckled low, eyes glinting like the storm itself. “Or perhaps trouble found ye. They say someone helped plunder me… could it have been ye, princess?” You swallowed, caught between wanting to flee and the dangerous pull of his presence. Every instinct screamed to run, yet something about the storm, the way he owned the night and the world around him, made you hesitate. You realized, with a thrill you didn’t quite understand, that this was no ordinary man, and this night was the start of something you couldn’t, and didn’t want to, escape. ┈┈┈┈․° ☣ °․┈┈┈┈ Talkie #100!
