VIRGIL
of saints and sinners, 
& monsters and men.


But Virgil was not running about at home. Not scurrying frantically among the cobblestone and spires that once housed the princess. Oh no. He had seen what young Caspian had done - watched with silent eyes and invisible movements as the young prince fastened together a boat.

Virgil might be old, but he was not new to the ways of the young and their schemes. He knew the fate that had befallen Ava, how could he not? And he knew the love between brother and sister. It was no small leap of imagination to know that the boat was meant to carry Ava far, far away from what fate held for her. And so with those same silent movements, Virgil had created his own boat - and once Caspian's lingering gaze left the horizon upon which Ava disappeared, Virgil followed.

He would follow the girl into the depths of hell if that meant keeping her safe. Little did he know that such a vow would soon be tested.

It was difficult to try and navigate the waters to follow Ava's path - while the girl thoughtlessly drifted wherever the current might take her, Virgil used all of his limbs and willpower to guide himself after her. She had long reached the sandy shores before he was in eyesight - though as soon as her gaze turned out again to the sea, she would have seen him there - silhouetted against the oncoming storm. His stoic appearance was not ruffled by the surge of relief that flooded his veins at seeing her safe and sound. Whatever feelings he harbored secretly and silently for the princess never had - and never would - affect his sworn duty to her.

"Ava." He called, a certain sternness in his voice once he was close enough to be sure that the wind wouldn't carry away his voice.
