The waves smashed upon the shore with a fury that echoed through my bones. I tripped ashore, the salty spray stinging my face. The air was thick with the stench of decay and the screech of unseen creatures filled the oppressive silence. This wasn't a paradise; this was a forbidden wilderness where survival was a tenuous affair. My ship, once my sanctuary, lay shattered and broken upon the rocks, a monument to my recklessness. I was alone, utterly abandoned, on a shore that seemed intent on swallowing me whole.
All signs point to no sign of civilization for leagues in any direction. My only companions were the tattered remnants of my clothes and the gnawing hunger in my belly. Fear, raw and primal, coiled in my gut, but beneath it, a spark of rebellion flickered. I had to survive. This savage shore would be my arena.
