OLD SECRETS DIE HARD
Ch. 1) The blessing is cursed
He grasped her hand as they walked down the stretch of sand, idly playing with her fingers. It was a beautiful day, with clear water, and clear skies. There was no place he would rather be.
"Will, that tickles!" Elizabeth said with a laugh.
Will, smile spreading across his face, lunged for Elizabeth's waist, in hopes of hearing her adorable laugh again.
She deftly avoided the blow, but, as she side-stepped over a sea-shell, she noticed something in the sand…
"Will…. What is that?" She said as she lent down to examine it closer.
Will knelt down and picked up a tiny ring with an emerald diamond inside it. A funny inscription was engraved on the outside.
Elizabeth stared in wonder. It was beautiful! She reached out for it….
"May I touch it?" She asked innocently. Will obliged.
Before Will had time to comment she placed the ring on her ring finger.
"It fits like a dream!" She said, drunk with an odd feeling of happiness. "What exquisite craftsmanship…Will, do you recognize the work?"
He thought to himself, taking the ring back from Elizabeth. [Should I tell her? Would she hate me…? No she wouldn't… Its best to get it off my chest…]
Before he could get second thoughts he said "Yes…. I do recognize the work." He paused, a cloudy look washing over his dark eyes.
"Go on…" Elizabeth beckoned.
"Well… It's hard for me to say. I've only seen one other ring like that in Port Royal before. The problem is, the man who made it swore that he would never make another; he said it was his curse and his blessing. There was to be only one like it…"
"And that man, who is he?"
Will stared into her eyes and said "My father."
