Story
Pontus Currentkeeper
In den Armen der Ewigkeit stand Pontus Currentkeeper, Harbor Master, ein Kind von Nereids, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
Pontus war nicht wie die anderen. Nicht besser, nicht schlechter - nur anders. Eine Melodie in einer anderen Tonart. Ein Farbton, den nur wenige sehen konnten.
Das Leben hatte Pontus geformt, wie es alle formt - durch Freude und Schmerz, durch Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, durch die tausend kleinen Momente, die ein Leben ausmachen.
Aber da war etwas in Pontus. Etwas, das sich weigerte, sich fügen zu wollen. Eine Stimme, die flüsterte, wenn alle anderen schwiegen. Ein Licht, das brannte, wenn die Welt dunkel wurde.
He’s been allowing a smuggling operation to continue in exchange for information about a greater threat to Nereidum.. Das war die Last, die Pontus trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Nereids sahen es manchmal. In den Augen, die zu weit blickten. In den Händen, die zitterten. In der Stille zwischen den Worten.
Aber sie fragten nicht. Denn so war die Art ihrer Welt. Jeder trug seine Last. Jeder seine Geheimnisse. Jeder seine ungeschriebene Geschichte.
Und Pontus? Pontus ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Nereids, durch die verschlungenen Pfade von Macht und Pflicht und Überleben.
Wartend. Hoffend. Träumend von dem Tag, an dem das Geheimnis gelüftet würde - oder für immer begraben bleiben würde.

Backstory
Pontus worked every station of the harbor before taking command — dock hand, manifest clerk, current-reader, shift supervisor — and the calloused hands beneath his formal robes are evidence of those years. He inherited the Harbor Master post at forty-three when his predecessor disappeared on an unexplained voyage, and he has since transformed the Great Harbor into the most efficient port in Nereidum. What no one outside a very small circle knows is that Pontus struck an agreement with a smuggling organization three years ago: he permits certain marked shipments to pass uninspected in exchange for intelligence reports on a Drakonian deep-sea operation that official Coral Guard channels have failed to penetrate. He considers the arrangement temporary and increasingly difficult to end.
