Chapter 29: The Magic Spoke Volumes
Calypso and Celeste laughed with one another on the shore of the great island of golden sand as the Black Pearl bobbed helplessly just off shore. They had done it. The child was being guarded on the Black Pearl by Barbossa who was going mad with the women's voices screaming in their ears and now all that was left was to wait for the woman to come and rescue the child and then he would be no more and the Brethren Court would loose their King to their own greed. The plan had worked out perfectly and they laughed to know that their father had followed the boy believing he was what would defeat them in the end.
"And now sistah, what do you wish to do first?" Calypso asked with a laughed as they danced around the beach.
"I believe the earth is in need of a grand storm. We shall sink all of the ships on the waters and laughed as the entire pirate race is wiped out!" Celeste said with an evil cackle.
"You are quite de witch, my sistah," Calypso giggled, "and what of revenge against Captain Teague."
"I will make the rest of his immortal day a living hell," Celeste screeched with laughed, "he deserves it for what he had done to me!"
"It will be quite de show," Calypso sang, "and soon we will both be free."

William sat alone tied in ropes in the captain's quarters with Captain Teague sitting by his side also bound up. The man guitar was smashed on the floor and as they sat William worked his magic to reunite all the pieces.
"I thank you young Master Turner," Teague smile, "it would be a lonely life without a little music in it."
"I agree," William smiled.
"But why, my young friend, are you not more scare," Teague asked, "you are held captive by two very powerful woman and one pretty crazy old man."
"You mean Barbossa?" William asked.
"Aye, I am not crazy," Teague laughed.
"No, you seem perfectly sane," William smiled, "and I am not afraid because it is quite an adventure, wouldn't you say, and I happen to have a plan."
"It is quite an adventure, and I would be very happy to help you if you know how to get out of these ropes," Teague said.
"Watch this!" William said and closed his eyes and suddenly all of the ropes fell away from him and captain Teague.
"That was very impressive," Teague said, "no, impressive is that my guitar is in tune."
"Yes, out of tune music should be a law in the code. It should be punishable by lashing or something," William said.
"I agree," Teague laughed, "now what is your plan young master?"
"I think it would be best if you took care of Barbossa and I will deal with the women," William smiled.
"Aye, aye, sir," Teague said and gathered up his ropes and left in search of Barbossa.
William closed his eyes once again and concentrated very hard on the aqua viva, "you are too much of a problem to leave in such a state," he said to himself and when he opened his eyes he stood in the total darkness of the great cave. The basin of liquid shown at his feet, "you don't look that special," he said and picked up the basin and tried to dump the water out but it would not allow it self to touch the ground, "fine I will take you out to the ocean," he said and walked blindly into the darkness.
The two women were still laughing and plotting as the little boy came out of the cave carrying the water of life. He stopped for a moment and watched them before he cleared his throat and they turned to look at him.
"What are you doing?" Celeste cried as she saw him with the basin in his hands.
"Don't you want to be set free?" he asked.
"Well yes, but how did you get it," Celeste asked shocked and unable to move.
"Well then, be free," William said and poured the water into the ocean.
The brilliant liquid poured out of the basin and into the moonlit waters and the earth began to shake and the water began to tremble but William did not move. Celeste and Calypso burst into uncontrollable shrieks of laughter as sails could be seen on the arriving horizon.
"Now you will all perish," Calypso laughed and dove into the sea.
"The skies shall swallow you up!" Celeste shrieked and disappeared into the moonlight.
And suddenly there was upon the land a great storm and the water formed into a column and touched the sky and the stars began to fall in blazing meteors at the ships on the horizon. The sun began to rise as the cloud closed in on it and the flash of green placed the Flying Dutchman back in the land that was now in torment.
"Watch your family perish!" Calypso shrieked as the Dutchman returned to the world.
Will could do nothing but watch as the ships were thrown about and the crews were tossed and thrown from the ships. Masts snapped and sail tore and water flooded in on everything.
"No, this isn't how it's supposed to happen," William said as a light as brilliant as the sun erupted all around him and stillness came to everything. The water stop and the stars returned to the sky.
"What have you done?" Calypso yelled as she came forth from the water.
"How did you stop my apocalypse," Celeste asked as she stood on the shore once again.
"You are corrupt," William said looking at the woman, "and I will not let you destroy the sea and the life that I love. You will be kept by the sea and its boundaries and you by the sky and is heaven's and never again will you be able to use these things for your own good but work in harmony with the people that live here. No domain will you have or anyone over the sea or the sky," William said angrily as the light burst forth and struck at the woman and with a hiss like the wind they were both gone. The sky became calm and the sea moved with her tides and sun rose on a beautiful day.
Mi appeared on the shore beside William as the Ships righted themselves and their masts were set right and their sails repaired.
"I see that you do understand the true extent of your powers," Mi smiled down at the boy who stood beside him.
"yes, and no, I think I still have much to learn but at least I was able to put right what thousands of years had made wrong," William smiled.
"And you have done everything as an innocent heart would do," Mi smiled, "I am very proud of you William and I knew this was the time for you to achieve your destiny, do you know why that is?" he asked.
"No, why," William asked seeing the sparkle in the old mans eyes.
"Because, I needed you innocent, young, and uncorrupted by the world around you, if I hadn't found you now I would have never been able to teach you the things you needed to learn to see them as a child would see them, with good in the world and what is fair and what is unfair. You've done everything as you were meant to," Mi said as he bend down and hugged the boy.
"But there is still more for me to do, right?" William asked.
"Oh yes, you have your whole life to figure it out and to make a name for yourself. You have much to live up to and a great family legend to support you. You should be very proud," Mi said.
"I am," William giggled, "it was a marvelous adventure!"
