Chapter One
Captain Jack Sparrow gazed down at the old manuscripts that where in his hands. Each one torn and water logged, the edges curled up into tight scrolls. Looking so aged, they threatened to turn into dust beneath Jack's touch. He need not look at these pages anymore, he knew full well what they foretold. The legend of the lost treasures of the deep, guarded by the monstrous beast the Hydra.
"Yeah, yeah a hideous beast with nine heads." Jack said unimpressed as he poured himself more rum. The ship creaked louder with each passing wave, inside his cabin objects were sliding back and forth threatening to fall off the small oak table. Jack still couldn't help but be a little afraid of this beast that was said to be able to regenerate two heads in place of the one that been severed. Of course he would never admit this fear to the crew, he was Captain Jack Sparrow.
The crew knew nothing of this monster either, Jack neglected to inform them of that detail while explaining what was to be their latest adventure. Eyes falling back to the parchment he stared once again at the ancient text that graced the page. Having had it translated years ago, Jack knew there was only one man you could help him with this insane mission: William Turner.
"Of course he doesn't need to know about this beastie either. That small detail will remain between me and you my old friend" Jack told the piece of parchment, before placing it back into the chest from which it came.
