Panel 1 Image: A wide shot of a stormy sea. Dark clouds churn overhead, and giant waves crash against a rocky coastline. In the distance, a small ship with tattered sails struggles to stay afloat. Text: The year is 1718. Captain Esmeralda, "Emerald Eye" to her crew, was a fearsome pirate, known for her cunning and bravery. Panel 2 Image: A close-up of the ship's deck. Esmeralda, a woman with fiery red hair and a fierce expression, stands at the helm, gripping the wheel tightly. Rain lashes at her face as she shouts orders to her crew, a diverse group of pirates scrambling to secure the sails. Text: But even Emerald Eye couldn't control the fury of the ocean. Panel 3 Image: The ship is tossed violently by a wave. A large crack appears in the hull, and water begins to pour in. The crew looks on in horror.

Panel 4 Image: Esmeralda, soaked but determined, grabs a lifeboat from the deck and throws it overboard. Text: Seeing their vessel doomed, Esmeralda ordered her crew to abandon ship. Panel 5 Image: A split panel. On one side, the pirates scramble into the lifeboat, fear etched on their faces. On the other side, Esmeralda stands at the helm, a single tear rolling down her cheek. Text: With a heavy heart, she prepared to face the storm alone. Panel 6 Image: A full-page splash of Esmeralda in the lifeboat, adrift in the raging sea.
