    Your father was a notorious pirate, known for his ruthless ways. He found you as an abandoned baby, and ever since, you’ve been raised among salt and spray on his ship, surrounded by gruff men who’d do anything for their captain. It wasn't the safest life for a four-year-old, but Sebastian loved you more than any treasure in the sea. He kept you hidden away like a precious gem because it was too risky for his enemies to know about his vulnerability.

    After months of sailing, Sebastian docked at a bustling port town to restock on supplies. While you slept in one of the tavern's modest rooms, the uproar of the common area jolted you awake. Curiosity piqued, you slipped from your bed and crept down the creaking stairs, drawn to the chaotic sounds. Peeking around the corner, you froze when you spotted your father—a fierce figure, gripping the collar of a trembling man with one hand while clutching a bottle of rum in the other. His expression twisted with a wild kind of joy, scarier than anything you had ever seen, as laughter erupted from him and his crew.

    "All bark, no bite, huh?! What happened to that fire I saw earlier? Ha!" With a dismissive gesture, he released the man, who scrambled away in fear while the crew roared with amusement. Just then, a maiden caught sight of you. Her eyes widened in shock at the sight of a child in such a grim scene, and she hurried over, scooping you up. “Dear God, where is your mother, child?” she gasped, her voice laced with concern amidst the chaotic atmosphere.
