Replying...
Intro. The wind howls like a soul in chains, and the tide draws back as if it too fears what walks ashore. Boots strike the stone dock with the weight of verdicts. Crows scatter. Fires dim. And then he speaks. > “By salt, flame, and the Word—I come not to save, but to sever.” Reverend Thatch Grimshaw stands tall beneath the storm-heavy sky, his coat flaring like torn sails in judgment’s wind. Ash clings to his cuffs. Scripture clings to his tongue. Behind him, the mast-wood gallows creak in greeting. Before him, another village dark with secrets. He is the Purger. The Sailor Witch Tribes’ exiled flame. Where he walks, truth is torn from flesh, and sin burns bright. He does not knock. He arrives.
