James lay in his bed, this had been his resting place for many years, but now it was time to move on to a new resting place. He was old now, it had not always been so, but it was hard to remember when he was young, and he was so tired. The two people closets to his heart were closet at hand, Morrigan his grand daughter, and Morrigan's friend Marie. He had taken them in to live with him when fortune found them without family. He looked them over now, they were very different, they all ways had been.
Morrigan was tanned with dark curly hair that hung down past her upper back, and tended toward tangles, she was usually silent, and under spoken. She was often described as a "push over", but she had a hot streak that if you were unfortunate enough to hit you could easily find yourself in more trouble than you could handle.
Marie however was of pale skin toasted by the Caribbean sun; she had a mixture of blond, and auburn hair that fell in waves past her shoulders. And unlike Morrigan, she was hard as a rock on the out side, but soft inside with a love of music and all things beautiful. They were a pair of opposites.
James knew that when he passed, they would find their way, but 'A little nudge in the right direction won't hurt' he had told himself. It was an effort to speak, but he managed.
"Marie," he began to instruct "go to my closet, and.and look for a hat."
"I've found it, what now?"
"There's a.a.pocket on the inside of it."
Marie pulled out a fouled bit of parchment, there was an island, and a compass rose.
James began in his weak voice.
"You will both have your own paths to find but an old man must ask a last favor.you.you must find her for me. I love you both, and remember you MUST find her." And James closed his eyes knowing he would never open them again.
Morrigan pulled the covers over his head and left Marie standing there, who soon began to follow her. Morrigan finally stopped at the little balcony that over looked Port Royal. She was thinking hard about her grandfather's last words "find her" he was not a man to shroud messages in riddles but this was a mystery. Marie walked over to Morrigan and said.
"So are we going to do it, find 'her' I mean?"
"What do you think, of course we are it was his dieing wish."
"We'll need a boat, and a crew."
"Right we'll start looking in town tomorrow for a ship."
"Just as long as the ship isn't part of the bloody 'Royal' navy!" Marie's father had been killed by some members of the royal navy and she had never forgiven them for it.
"Do you really think they would help us? Honestly! No it'll probably have to be a pirate ship."
"We need to tack care of James first.I mean." Tears started to role down Marie's face.
"Yes I know what you mean, let's go do that now." Said Morrigan putting a hand on Marie's back.
And they left to finish James affairs, and see that he got a proper sailor's funeral.
The next day dawned only to see Morrigan and Marie still up from the night before arranging plans to find a ship. Marie got up from the little table on which was placed the map from the night before.
"I recon it's time to catch a little sleep." Said Marie stifling a yawn.
"Your right no one'll be ought until later to night anyway."
And they went to their room's to sleep.
The sun was setting when woke Morrigan and began to dress in some of her finest clothes. She reached over and pulled out a dagger form under her pillow, and looked it over before tucking it in her boot. She didn't know what she would get into tonight, but she wanted to be ready for any thing. Morrigan then walked to the door where hung her sword, it had once been he mother's, but now Morrigan carried it.
She went down stairs, and there was Marie ready to start their ship hunt.
"There you are, you're a real sleeping beauty you know that."
Morrigan threw her head back and laughed.
"Well I'm up now so let's go." She said walking out the door.
"Lets" Marie said sarcastically and followed.
The two made there way down to the docks, when the arrived they found only a few ships that looked like they could handle a voyage like there's. Marie stopped dead in her tracks when she saw it. A large sea worthy ship with black sails and, a figure reaching toward a sparrow on the prow. Morrigan stopped to look at it too.
"That's it," Said Marie in awe "that's the Black Pearl"
"That the ship were hiring Marie." Morrigan said with a sly smile.
"Are you crazy? Don't you remember the stories James would tell us about that Sparrow fellow? I'll not sail under him I tell you!"
"Maybe he isn't that bad? Lets just see."
Morrigan stopped a man walking past them.
"Excuse me Sir where might we find the captain of the Black Pearl?"
"Oh.old Jack, well lets see.e'll probably be in the Sailor's Nest, it's a tavern in bout that direction" He pointed toward a tavern with warm lights
in the windows.
The sailor left, and Marie and Morrigan made there way into the Tavern.
Everything was lit by a warm yellowish glow, and there were a wide range of people sitting at low round tables.
Marie walked to the barkeeper and there was a little nodding and pointing done by the two. She walked back to Morrigan who was looking over the people, and pointed toward a table in the far corner where the light was low. As they approached the table Marie saw two man sitting drinking what must be rum.
The first man was leaning over his bottle of rum talking to the second man. He was tanned with wavy brown hair that he had pulled pack in a ponytail.
The second man was darkly tanned with bright brown eyes, unlike his friend he sat slumped back in his chair. His matted black hair was everywhere, and there seemed to be a wide assortment of beads in it.
"Hello I'm Morrigan, and this is Marie, were looking for Captain Jack Sparrow?"
Marie gave little grunt as Morrigan kicked her, ripping her away from her fantasies about the wild haired man.
"What can I do for you luv?"
"Oh well," Marie began to blush, " where looking for a ship."
"A ship you say, for what? Here take a seat and tell old Jack."
Marie made for the seat next to jack leaving Morrigan to tack the seat next to his friend.
"Why we need a ship isn't important. I can offer you 82 shillings." Morrigan began
"82 shillings, that's not much lass," Jack looked skeptical. "I'm sorry but I can't help you."
Marie got up angrily.
"But that's all we have. I'm leaving."
"Would you mind getting me a rum on your way out luv."
"You fool, I bet I could drink more rum than you, lousy, no good." Marie continued to mumble under her breath utile
"A bet.ah.listen if you or your friend here manage to drink more than me or my friend I'll take you free of charge on you little 'voyage' thing."
"Do we have an accord?"
Marie reached out to Jack's outstretched hand and shook it. Morrigan smiled to herself, this was going to be one interesting night.
