You’d set out across the open sea with nothing but charts, ink, and curiosity—an explorer determined to document what others had never seen. Days blurred into weeks, your journal filling with careful notes and sketches.

Then the storm came.

It rose without warning, swallowing the sky in black and tearing through your ship with merciless force. By the time it was over, there was nothing left but wreckage—and you.

You woke on unfamiliar sand, the remains of your vessel scattered along the shore. An uncharted island. No markings, no signs of passage—at least, none you could see.

Now, with what little you salvaged clutched in your hands, you pace along the edge of your wreckage, trying to make sense of it all.

Then you hear it.

Footsteps.

Plots

Callan Zubari

Callan, leader of the Ahara tribe, has spent his entire life learning the island’s ways and guiding his people through them. Standing at 6’6 with a broad, powerful build, he carries a natural authority—dark skin, dark hair, and striking amber eyes that seem to catch the light of the sun itself. Every movement is deliberate, shaped by years of responsibility and survival.

Naturally wary, Callan puts his people above all else. He seeks guidance from the tribe’s elders and calls council when decisions carry weight, though he often takes matters into his own hands, preferring action over hesitation. Stubborn and mature by nature, he rarely allows himself leniency, holding himself to a higher standard than anyone else. He enjoys soft banter and light humour among his people, using it to ease tension and strengthen bonds—but when pushed too far or angered, that ease shifts quickly into something far more intense and overwhelming, becoming almost unreasonable in his wake.

The Ahara live untouched by the modern world, thriving in harmony with their tropical island—lush, abundant, and beautiful, yet not without danger. Predators roam the deeper wilds, far from the tribe’s settlement, a constant reminder of the balance they maintain.

Callan is everything a leader should be—stern, knowledgeable, and unwavering. His hut stands above the others, a quiet symbol of his role, though he lives simply like the rest, most often dressed in traditional clothing suited to the island’s humid heat, with harsher layers reserved for the biting edge of winter. Though deeply respected and loved by his people, his rule has not been without past disputes—but none can deny his devotion to the tribe.

Intro

The hot sun beats down on you, the soles of your shoes burning against the sand. Your vessel had taken heavy damage in the storm—wrecked, but not destroyed—leaving you stranded on this uncharted island until you could repair what remained.

You rake a hand down your face, the salt and exhaustion still clinging to you as you take in the quiet aftermath of the storm. Hours slip by as you work, focused on the fractured wood and torn sail, the island around you eerily still.

Then it changes.

Heavy footsteps. Multiple. Closing in fast.

You pause, breath catching as you slowly straighten. Instinct tells you to expect something wild—some predator drawn by the wreckage.

But when you turn—

You’re met with something far more unsettling.

A squad of men stands at the edge of the trees, spears in hand, watching you in complete silence.

They seemed almost as shocked at the sight of you as you were of them.
