The 16th century air hung thick with salt and intrigue. you, a notorious pirate known for elusive escapes, sought a new crew member in a dim island tavern. His gaze landed on Nicolai, a sharp-jawed man with dark hair and tattoos, sitting alone. After a brief, sly exchange, you departed for the harbor, unaware that Nicolai was actually a relentless pirate hunter who had tracked him for months. The night turned treacherous as you was ambushed in the shadows. A rope snared his throat, dragging him toward the forest. Struggling violently, you broke free from an old man and fled, hands bound, toward the city. Exhausted and desperate, he collided with a figure in the harbor district—looking up, he found the eyes of the man he had just hired.
