MMM: No, I haven't read it yet. Currently reading the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, so maybe once I finish that...I'll add it to my mental list of books to read.
Chapter 33:
About a week after Jack spotted the outline on the map, a crew member spotted land in the distance. He checked with the compass itself. That was Atlantis, dead ahead.
Jack walked up to the helm, where Barbossa stood at the moment.
"Barbossa." He greeted. "I'll be taking the wheel from here."
"Aye…" The former captain replied, obvious reluctance in his voice. He moved back, letting him grab it. "That be Atlantis?"
"Aye. It is." Jack nodded. "And it's where we're going."
"Ah." He crossed his arms. "And what we be going to Atlantis for?"
"Something important." He replied indirectly.
"What that be?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Just out of...curiosity." Barbossa told him, hesitating before he said the last word.
"'Just out of curiosity.'" Jack rolled his eyes. "To find something. Something to break my father's curse, or all of the curses, if that is the best we can find."
"How do ye know it's here?" The pirate raised his eyebrows questioningly.
"I just do." He pointed to the compass on his belt. "It's what I want."
"And where'd ye get that compass?"
"My father, of course. He gave it to me with the Pearl."
"Ah, Jack gives away many things for reasons of his own." Barbossa said.
"Not just for himself." Jack told him certainly. "For the ship and the crew. For us. Now, if you don't mind, have the men start lowering the anchor-we're getting close."
"Aye." The man sighed. "I be making sure of that."
"Good. Now go get on with it before we crash into the island." He half-joked.
Barbossa hobbled on his peg leg down onto the main deck, shouting at the crew. "Lower the anchor! We be making port!"
