Author's Note: When I was watching the finale and Dean made the deal, I kept thinking "Man, too bad he couldn't do to Tia Dalma. She would've saved him." Then I saw Pirates 3, and loved it...and decided to combine three of my favorite fandoms together.

Heart of a Warrior

Every so often, Sam is kept up all night by trying to figure out a way to save Dean from Hell while also not dying at the same time. He will find a way to rescue his big brother, his idol. Between his will and the demonic deal, there is no contest. Sam won't die again and Dean won't be sent to Hell at the end of next year. They are Winchesters and they will get through this, like always.

On other nights, Sam usually falls asleep after hours of searching through musty old books or on-line. However, a voice he recognizes but can't place whispers to him. "Be brave and upright that God may love thee." It whispers and Sam sees the vague outline of a dark-haired man dressed in medieval clothing wielding a brilliant sword. The warrior always puts him in mind of Dean, for reasons the youngest Winchester can't quite explain.

"Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death," The warrior continues. Sam likes to think of him as his conscience. The next line sums up what he believes is the essence of his and Dean's job as hunters: "Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath." That was the reason why the brothers fought, why they were risking their lives in this upcoming war of hunters against the forces of Hell: to spare others the pain of loosing a beloved family member to the supernatural.

The dark-haired warrior is then joined by a tall man wearing a silver mask, and although Sam can't quite see them, he can feel the heat of their gaze. A phrase is burned into his mind: Find The Flying Dutchman. Find Calypso. and Sam wakes in a sweat. Careful not to wake Dean, he does an advanced search for legends of The Flying Dutchman.

What he finds gives him goosebumps.

The Flying Dutchman is a preternatural ship once captained by the infamous Davy Jones. It ferries dead and dying sailors or those lost at sea to their place in eternity. According to legend, Davy Jones was killed in the infamous battle against the Pirate Brethren in the Caribbean and a new captain, one William Turner, took his place as Lord of the Seas. Whoever stabs the heart of the current captain will take his place, for the Dutchman cannot be without a heart.

Calypso, Greek Goddess of the Seas. In pirate myth, the first council of the Pirate Brethren bound her to a human form. She was the woman Davy Jones cut out his own heart out for and in doing so, condemned himself to being the Devil of the Sea. It was only until the Battle of the Caribbean that Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain William Turner, Pirate King Elizabeth Swann and Captain Barbossa unbound the Goddess, who once again assumed her rightful position as Lady of the Sea.

Sam stared at the computer screen for a long while, trying to take it all in. Perhaps...perhaps this William Turner, Captain of The Flying Dutchman, can help them. Or at least be able to summon the Goddess Calypso, who could help them for sure.

A plan forms, and Sam Winchester feels that for the first time, he has a fighting chance at saving Dean.
