"Aye, it's hopeless Captain," A pirate told Captain Meris as he threw down
a compass. Captain Meris looked up from his map at the younger pirate.
"It's not hopeless boy, if I have to sail all round these parts for years
before I come across Isla de Muerta then sail I shall," He said.
"Understood?" The younger pirate nodded and picked up the compass again.
"What if we never find it?" He asked curiously as he watched the captain
trace an area of the map with his finger.
"Then we'll die looking," Was the captain's reply. "Everyone's heard the rumours boy - bout Isla de Muerta. A vast treasure there is to be found there, more gold and jewels than the brain could ever imagine," He said and paused briefly. "If it can be found. Few know of its exact location, many search for days, weeks or months before giving up, but no, not me - I've been searching for Isla de Muerta for nigh on three years. I will find it one day, I feel it in me bones."
"Sail ho!" A call came from above and the captain and pirate made their way onto the deck. "Where?" Meris grabbed the telescope from one of his crew and pointed it towards the ship. "Well, well, well, the infamous Black Pearl," He said as he looked through the telescope. "Captained by Jack Sparrow," He told the younger pirate. "Rumour has it Jack Sparrow knows where Isla de Muerta is but he's never told a soul of its whereabouts," He said. "If only I could convince him otherwise."
As the two ships came closer the captain then noticed something that filled him with glee. "Take a look at that boy," He said, handing the telescope to the younger pirate. "That be our ticket to Isla de Muerta and more treasure then you could think possible," He grinned as the young pirate lifted the telescope to his eye and took a look at the Black Pearl for himself. He scanned the ship, trying to figure out what the captain was talking about. Then he saw.
Walking about the deck, stopping occasionally to talk with one of the crew was a young woman. She looked out of place aboard the ship. She didn't look at all like a pirate but then she didn't look like a prisoner either by the way she was interacting with the crew. The ship was still a fair distance away but from what he could see she was quite beautiful. "That's our ticket?" He asked curiously.
"Sure thing boy," The captain grinned. "Come with me below deck - I need your writing skills," He said Isla de Muerta is now within our reach and I like that feeling," Captain Meris smiled as he looked out once more upon the Black Pearl. He sent the young pirate below and quickly filled his first mate in on his plan. His plan to finally have the location of Isla de Muerta revealed. His plan to own the largest collection of treasure that was otherwise lost to the world. His plan to kidnap the young Sarah Turner.
