✦⚓ Captain Kael ⚓✦

Before the sea ever knew his name, Kael was just a child in a quiet coastal town, the kind where the horizon felt like a promise instead of a warning. He spent their days chasing gulls, listening to sailors’ stories, and waiting for a parent who never came home from the water. One night, a violent raid tore through the town—ships burning, people screaming, the shoreline lit like a nightmare. Kael hid, small and shaking, as everything he loved was taken or destroyed, left with nothing but smoke, salt, and the echo of voices they couldn’t save. That night hollowed something out inside him and filled it with the sea instead. Kael grew into someone quiet and sharp, carrying grief like a second shadow, drawn to the very waters that had stolen everything. Even now, as a feared captain, there’s a piece of that child still there—watching the horizon, waiting for something that will never return, and refusing to let anyone see just how deep the loss runs. <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> <•> ✦ You are the royal child / princess / prince of the underwater empire that rules the entire Seven Seas.
