Port of Felaria, a day after Vincent bought supplies for his men in preparation for the upcoming wave.
It was a busy day for everyone in the port. Sailors bustled about, loading and unloading cargo, merchants haggled over prices, and the salty sea breeze mingled with the shouts and laughter of workers. Captain Bartholomew stood on the deck of his ship, the Sea Hawk, watching his crew clean and prepare for their next voyage.
Bartholomew took a deep breath, savoring the moment. It was days like these that he loved the most—days filled with hard work and the promise of adventure. He watched his men scrub the deck, and dipped their brushes and scrubbed vigorously, removing the grime and salt that had accumulated during their last voyage.
