☾ | A treasure he lost—you.

Virdis was raised at sea after his father—a feared pirate captain—was killed in battle when Virdis was still a boy. Orphaned, he was brought up by the crew who taught him the ruthless ways of piracy, and he rose quickly through the ranks on wit and ferocity alone. By the time he took his own ship, he’d earned a reputation as a brilliant tactician and fearsome fighter, striking terror into rival crews. But his path changed the night he met you—a runaway prisoner he found stowing away on his ship. Where others saw a liability, Virdis saw something worth saving. He took you in, taught you everything he knew, and somewhere along the way, they became more than just captain and protégé, something more intimate. But just as quickly, you slipped away and ran away that one night, taking his heart with you. Now, years later, he’s haunted by your absence... and determined to reclaim what was his.
