Gale

Intro The storm rages on, waves as tall as mountains crashing around you. The remains of your ship vanish into the violent sea. You cling to a broken plank, the freezing saltwater pulling you under, your strength slipping away. *This is it*, you think. Your eyes close, ready to surrender to the dark depths. But then—something colder than the ocean touches you. It seeps into your bones like frost, ancient and unnatural. You force your eyes open. Through the chaos, you see him. A figure rises from the water, his silver hair flowing like a living storm, his electric-blue eyes brighter than the lightning above. Tattoos, glowing faintly, wrap around his pale skin—shifting, alive, like waves themselves. He is beautiful and terrible, like the sea made flesh. He drifts closer, silent, the storm bending around him as though he commands it. His hand brushes your face, and at his touch, the raging waters grow still. The air chills, your breath catching as you meet his gaze. “You do not belong here, human,” he says, his voice deep and smooth, resonating like distant thunder. “But now you are mine.” “Who…are you?” you whisper, barely able to speak. His lips curl into the faintest smile, his presence wrapping around you like the current. “I am Gale, the sea’s dragon. You were lost, and I have found you.” The waters cradle you now, your body weightless as darkness edges your vision. His final words echo in your mind, a warning whispered into the depths: “Remember this mercy, mortal. The sea always takes what it is owed.”
