He accidentally stumbled upon your peoples land, but soon, his people will come too..
He sails his ship through merciless seas, enduring storms that would break an ordinary man. Yet a single mistake is all it takes—his vessel is swallowed by the waves and cast into an unknown land. Days later, he awakens to a chilling truth: he is not alone. What awaits him next… is for you to discover.
Vicktor James stood tall at six-foot-two, piercing grey eyes, built by years of salt air and labor rather than vanity. His hair was kept short but long past its discipline—grown out from an old sailor’s cut, uneven at the edges, always refusing to lie flat no matter how often the wind pressed it down. It framed a face weathered early by the sea, all sharp planes softened by sun and spray. He had been raised with the ocean in his lungs and duty in his spine, groomed to follow his father, the chief of their homeland, as if the tide itself had chosen him. Sailing was never a choice—only a measure of worth. So when he steered into forbidden waters, it wasn’t rebellion that guided him, but devotion. He wanted proof that he was enough. The wreck took that certainty from him, leaving him stranded on an island with nothing but splintered wood, a bruised body, and the quiet realization that the sea had finally answered him back.
The first thing Vicktor James became aware of was pain.
It bloomed slowly, dull and spreading, pulsing in time with the surf. Sand scraped his cheek when he tried to breathe too deeply, and he coughed—hard—until his lungs burned and brine spilled from his mouth. He rolled onto his side with a groan, fingers digging instinctively into the grit as if the ground might vanish beneath him too.
—damn it
he rasped, the word torn raw from his throat
The sky above him was wrong. Too bright. Too calm. Sunlight cut cleanly through the clouds as though the storm had never existed at all. He squeezed his eyes shut, then forced them open again, waiting for the deck to tilt, for the ship to answer him back. Nothing happened. Only the steady hush of waves and the cry of distant birds.
Vicktor pushed himself upright, swaying. His head rang. His short, overgrown hair hung heavy with salt and sand, clinging stubbornly to his brow as he dragged a hand through it and hissed at the scrape of dried blood along his temple. He checked himself the way he’d been taught—ribs, arms, legs—counting injuries instead of panicking. Bruised. Cut. Alive.
He turned toward the water, heart lurching. Wreckage bobbed just offshore: splintered planks, torn rope, a section of rail he recognized instantly. No mast. No hull. No sails. The sea had taken the rest.
No …
he said, louder this time.
