Pirates Of The Caribbean 6: The Death Sword Quest

PT 10: The Griffon Egg!

The men stopped and their silence incited the fairy to keep telling.

Master:Now. - He flew into a dash on the rocks piled over the walls of the cliff. - What I want you to do is, to gather a Griffon Egg. Those are really rare, and so fragile they seem. We have got one and one only, so I suggest you to take the mother away before getting away with the Egg.

Hector: An egg?!-

Master: "Aye", captain... "an egg". You wanna know why you should feel proud for getting you hands in one?- Jack frowned and cleaned his throat with a very subtile call.

Jack: Despite only being laid up from once in 100 years...? - Angelica look at him aside. "From where does he learn all of this things?"

Master: Also. - He agreed with Jack, and before giving him the information he wanted, he decided warn: - And so my advice is for you to don't lose the only egg we've... - Jack motioned his head in agreement. - ...if you want to live. - The conditionals froze some hearts as something of much importance was being questioned.- I don't see you as silly enough to don't understand how poor are your chances of getting out alive from your quest. But I neither take you for weaken fools, gentleman... Also, you carry on, the future of men's lives like they'd belong to you. -he pointed to the crews.- Like they have to serve you, and despite that, I still find concern in my heart for you. So I'll offer you the best of your chances. - He paused took a step back to land on earth, while two fairies flew to meet with his back. carrying both a green blanket made up of sheet's fabrics and lianas on the tips. - Whenever you get us the Egg, we'll be able to make you a potion to help you heal faster, have more strength and energy, to resist to the Beasts that await you... - Jack noticed.

Jack: Be-"Beast-ss"? - He turned to Angelica on his right, only to find that when she noticed his introspective eyes, her eyes denied any knowledge about what the fairy was referring to.

Hector took a step ahead.

Hector:You mean that ,the last task you're suggesting, might be to gather our only salvation, for unfortunates during our way to the sacred sword?

Master: Yes. So it be.- The men seemed to feel a new font of confidence washing their fears. - But now I must to warn you. It only lasts for two hours... -Hector lift up an eyebrow.- Which will require a big ability from you to get out alive from the Trolls territory, before the potion runs out of time. And even so, you'll have to waste more time fighting the beast locked up inside the cave where the Sword is kept safe.

Jack: You said... "Trolls"?

Master: Yes... Our guardians of the night and shadows. You'll have the pleasure to meet them after we're done here. - Jack froze.

Jack: Those are funny and all, but still tough to get ride off... - He admitted.

Master: So. Let's hurry up to reach the top of the cliff! Who will be going? I suggest you that too much people might disturb the mother and make her stress up. ...Which would be a big mistake to put her into stress. - He added with a tough tonality.

Jack: Me going for sure.

Hector motioned his head for the Master as a sign of agreement. Angelica and Liz followed the other two, but immediately some two fairies blocked Angie's way.

Fairy 1: You've lost our companion. Can't go much further.. - Angelica felt the heart climb through the throat.

Liz and the others stopped, staring at the blockers with concern. But the fairies were interrupted when William passed by Angelica and ran towards Liz saying:

Will: No worries men! I'll go on her place then! - Liz narrowed her forehead as with William on the mission, it would only get her even concerned.

Liz: Will!-

Jack: The boy will be fine... - Liz lift her eyes to Jack's, and found that although he spoke to her, his attention was focussed on Angelica's muted expression. Angie seemed to want to say something as she tried to get to them, but as the fairies kept her way blocked, she took a deep breath while watched with concern on her eyes, the other leaving without her.

But Jack stayed for a while, and so did Liz, as she seemed intrigued by the glances exchanged between each other. She felt like something was going on, something happening on the air they breathed, on the absence of words and movement, but that only them seemed to understand. So when Jack finally nodded in agreement, took off his hat and threw it to Angelica who catched it with a hand, he placed his hand over his sword's hilt and turned to Liz, who decided to move on.

Liz: Let's go...

Jack turned away and followed her, as now Angelica seemed slightly relaxed and confident.

6 eyes spied the Griffon nested on the edge of the cliff, and between each other, it was possible to hear:

Hector: We need a distraction...

Will: I'll go. - Liz arrived and shouted from behind him.

Liz: Oh no you won't. - Will was caught up in surprise, and turned his eyes to the side, finding his mom's scolding him.

Hector took off the monocular.

Hector: I must agree... - He paused. - A griffon requires something more tempting...

Slowly the eyes rolled to the right, finding some other two armed with a monocular and examining the beautiful golden feathers' creature. A soft laugh seemed to come out from tough lips and interrupt the silence of the moment. Wondering about the odd loudness of his voice, Jack decided to watch for his mates, and found them looking at him with confident glances.

Jack: WHYy?- He shouted when was thrown out of the bushes and into the creature's field view.

Getting up straight, immediately his eyes captured the intriguing bright in the beautiful creature's golden ones. The Griffon clinched the pupils as Jack froze when noticed that he was really being used as a bait.

So when the creature seemed to get a bit tense, Jack opened up his arms, reflected his legs, and on little jumps forwards, he tried to induce the Mother to move away.

Jack: Hey, there birdie, birdie... - The Griffon hissed as Jack kept approaching with those weird little jumps... - Why you not move away? - He jumped sideward. The Griffon this time, hissed much intensively. - What?

Still in the bushes, the boys were trying to decipher what was his idea. Getting eaten, or as it was suppose, taking the creature away from their way.

Will: What in the bloody hell is my uncle doin'? - Hector turned his attention to the boy. - Waiting for dinner?!

Hector: Something that no one else knows how to do best than your uncle Jackie, Improvise. - He smiled to the boy and turned to watch Jack through the monocular.

Now Jack had folded his arms and was acting like a chicken, moving towards the bushes on the right. The Griffon put off a paw out of the nest and followed Jack with the eyes. Then Jack leaned for the ground, stopped, and looked back at the creature. Seeing it with a paw out of the nest, Jack knew that if he would make any sudden move, the Mother would throw herself at him like a predator. So to guarantee she would accept him as a prey, he instantly shouted out a scream and hurried to get into the bushes, prepared for being chased.

A scream and then the shadow of the creature on the top of the cliff, was gone. Feeling like knowing for sure to who that tonality would belong, Angelica took a step back, scared, with her chest filling in and emptying out way too fast.

Angelica: You... - She addressed to Gibbs. None of the two turned away their eyes from the top of the rocks. - Jack knows what he is doin' right? - Gibbs just was going to answer when noticed he had been open-mouthed. After regaining posture himself up, he finally answered back to the damsel with a murmur.

Gibbs: Hopefully!...

That didn't really relieved her...

While Jack was running between the trees and branches, making a sound here and there to make sure the Mother would keep on his track; The boys jumped out of the brushes and ran to the nest.

Shockingly, they met an empty nest.

Hector: Blow up with the bitch Jack! She left nothing for us! - He shouted and turned to curse.

Jack was trying to trick the creature when he fell on the ground. Immediately the Griffon took that chance to jump forward and prevent him to keep taking her much far from the cliff.

When he looked up, the hungry eyes bent closer to his head, her nozzle opened up leaving a string of thick saliva fall over Jack's arms as a sharpen tongue hissed and she spreaded the wings apart.

Jack: Oh-oh...

Jack saw the Griffon gaining balance, and when the moment came and she throw her head against him, he rolled over on the ground and leaving the animal hit the floor, hurried to leave it behind his back.

Jack: Mates, you better have hurried up... -He murmured as he was running back to the cliff.

The Master seemed confused as heard the screams on the top of the mountain.

Angelica: What's happening, in there? - She walked towards the big fairy and he bent his head towards she.

Master: Seems like they haven't found the Egg...

Jack: ÁAahhh! - The griffon had got back on his track and now Jack was not screaming to keep it behind but yet for warning the others that he was coming. - HECTOR!

They heard Jack's voice getting audible, and in a question of seconds, realized it was getting louder and louder...

Liz: Jack! Your coming?! We're not ready yet!

Jack: WHAT?!

Hector: Jack, there's not a single leftover of an Egg in this crap!

Jack: Ay you sure? - The sound of heavy pounds and destruction seemed to follow his voice. Getting louder and louder... - Ahhhh... Looked underneath the nest?

Hector: Underneath?

Jack: Aye! Quick! erupting through the bushes.

Hector threw his hands to the nest as fast as he could when saw Jack coming straight towards their position, as he knew he would probably had brough trouble along with him.

He destroyed the nest, completely. Sticks flew and crushed around the Mother's bed as Hector unveiled a hole in the ground.

Hector: I think I've found it!

He took off a Golden Egg from the dark hole and brought it to the light. When he was about to show it to the others, the Mother Griffon jumped out of the bushes and landed with the four paws sliding on earth and stopping with a cloud of dust forming around her.

On the first blink of an eye that she realized her Egg was found and taken, the Mother's heart petrified to the point of locking up her focus on her baby, and nothing nor anyone could distract her or prevent her from taking her child back.

So when Hector found himself securing the Egg on his hands with it's Mother eyeing it with anger, he only had time to hear the creature's sorrow before she throw herself at him with no mercy.

Jack saw the Griffon coming straight at Hector, and so before he could yell any piece of advice, he decided that with the right strength of impact, the Mother could fall through the Cliff and leave Hector alone with the Egg. Probably she would make it out before crashing on the floor, and they could have a chance to get away with the prize. So without much thinking, Jack ran to come across her way.

Jack: Hector, get down!

Barbossa did as he said, protecting the Egg with his arms. While bent, he could see Jack getting in front of him, and the mother crashing with his way. Unfortunately, Jack failed on his calculations, and by the time they crushed, he was the one closer to the edge of the cliff. But still, the Mother lost her balance when both bodies meet and Jack had enough of strength and time to get to hold on her feathers and body. Now he was seriously hoping that she could make it out before crashing on the floor as he was being carried along with her.

Though their way down, they came across the waterfall, and although he thought for second on landing in the pool, the Mother seemed to have enough conscience to open up her wings and retard their fall. So through their vertiginous fall, he took a hold on the creature, as she seemed the best way secure he would survive.

Hector: Jack! - He watched the two falling straight to the river.

Either Gibbs, either Angelica, heard the screams from top of the cliff terrified, but when the Griffon fell helpless with Jack coming along, the sensation grew to completely and desperate Horror.

Gibbs froze and glued to the floor, not feeling a muscle, nor a word could be strong enough to climb through his throat. For Angelica, her heart speeded up like it was going to pump out of her chest.

Angelica: Jack!- She cried with the horror scratching her words. Before she could hold on and think of anything else, her feet started to run and she gone through the woods.

Well, Chapter 10 done! Next wednesday a new one will come.
