Thranduil looked at Will and Elizabeth as everyone was preparing to leave the island.
"Such a beautiful place here. Reminds me a bit of my own home of Mirkwood with all the trees and plants," the elf said to them.
"I imagine it might at least a little. There are some beautiful places around the Caribbean," Elizabeth told him.
The captain of the ship soon walked up to them, seeming nervous. He had been nervous the entire trip to the island and Will figured he woud be nervous the rest of the trip.
"We are soon ready to leave. Almost everyone and everything is on board. We are now mainly waiting for the three of you," the captain told them.
"Alright, we will be there shortly. We have something to talk about before we leave," Will replied.
The captain nodded his head before heading back to the ship to oversee the final preparations before leaving. Will turned to Thranduil and sighed.
"I expect Norrington has come after us. I doubt he's too far behind so we should probably leave as soon as possible and find Jack," Will told the elf.
Thranduil nodded before they started to leave towards the ship.
"This friend of yours, Jack, sounds like a very interesting person. You keep talking about finding him. What is this Jack like?" wondered Thranduil.
"Well, he's a different sort of person. Jack Sparrow is a pirate," Will explained.
He noticed that the elf narrowed his eyes in confusion at the term.
"Well, a pirate is someone who goes around in a ship, attacking other people and stealing from them. I don't know too many people who trust any pirate but Elizabeth and I have come to trust Jack and his crew. I saw that he was a good man," Will explained to the elf.
Thranduil now understood what Will was talking about.
"Does this Jack Sparrow have any family?" wondered the elf.
"Yes, he does. He has a daughter whom he hasn't seen in many years," Elizabeth replied. "I think he was in a similar situation as you were with your daughter only he left and couldn't return to her or her mother. He soon came to believe that she was dead and she didn't even know one way or another."
Thranduil thought about the news he recently received. Maybe he did have something in common with the pirate he never even met.

Norrington and his men soon came across the ship that was carrying Will, Elizabeth and Thranduil. Norrington soon came across the three standing nearby.
"There they are men. Let's go get them and take them back to Port Royal to be questioned," Norrington told them.
They prepared themselves to head for the three.
###
"We have to help them! Our father needs our help!" Nanaylia cried out.
"I know but we also have to be careful. We don't want ourselves to be captured as well in our efforts to help your father," Jack replied. "Norrington isn't one to be taken lightly."
Legolas watched the scene before him carefully. Jack Sparrow was right. They couldn't afford to be captured. He heard the faintly rustling in the grass behind him and knew that Sonja was joining the three without even turning his head.
"Commodore Norrington. Not my most favourite person in the entire world. After all, he nearly had the two of us killed," Sonja said to her father, who nodded in agreement.
"Not mine either. Their father's on the island and Norrington is about to ambush them," Jack said to her.
Her eyes rose in slight surprise as she watched what was happening.
"Well, I never would have thought of that happening: all of us landing on the same island. What a conincidence," she mused.
"I believe that Norrington was following them," Jack told her with a smile. "That's probably why he's here."
Legolas watched his father as his sister waited impatiently beside him. His concentration was soon broken by a noise from beside him. He turned his head to see Nanaylia starting to run towards their father.
"Nanaylia!" he cried, starting to head after her.
Jack and Sonja quickly glanced at each other before heading after them.
###
Thranduil's perked up. He heard something and Will and Elizabeth noticed this action.
"What's wrong?" wondered Elizabeth.
The elf turned around to see four figures heading towards their position. He immediately recognized two of them and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Legolas and Nanaylia? They're here on this island? Thank the Valar!" Thranduil said, his voice filled with relief.
But that relief was short-lived as he soon facing a man with a nasty looking gun.
"Well, well, well. What have we got here?" Norrington asked as he stepped up to them.
"Commodore Norrington, you have no idea what you're doing," Elizabeth almost snarled at him.
"I know what I am doing Miss Swann. This man attacked us and he is new to this area. He has to be questioned," Norrington replied as he faced Thranduil, who growled.
"He only did that because you were threatening us!" Will argued as he stepped forward.
"Mister Turner, my decision is final. Nothing can change my mind now," the commodore replied with a smile.
"Let them be," came an angry voice.
The men turned to see a young man and woman facing them, arrows cocked into their bows and aimed right at them.
"And who might you be?" wondered the commodore with a small snicker in his voice.
"We are brother and sister and we are not to be taken lightly," Legolas coldly told him.
"Legolas, Nanaylia!" Thranduil called out.
He tried to head after them but was soon stopped by a couple fo the men surrounding him. He frantically looked at his children as Norrington walked up to them. He looked between them and once his stare came to Legolas, he was amazed by the resemblence between him and Will Turner.
"I have to ask you a few questions as well," Norrington told him quietly.
Legolas growled at the statement.
"But I won't let you do anything," came a familiar voice.
Norrington watched as Jack and Sonja stepped towards them. The commodore sighed an impatient sigh.
"What are you doing here?" he demanded of the pirate.
"We are here for them, not you," came the expected reply.
"You are not to be trusted Jack Sparrow. Restrain him and the girl!" ordered Norrington.
One man held onto Jack and another held onto Sonja as the captain hurried up to the ship, wondering what was going on.
"What is going on here?" he wondered.
"Leave without these three. They won't be going with you any longer. They will be coming with us back to Port Royal," Norrington told him.
The captain reluctantly left as Norrington faced the two younger elves.
"Restrain them as well. They will be trouble if we leave them be," he ordered.
Legolas and Nanaylia were soon restrained as well.
"Well, let's head back to Port Royal," Norrington said, turning towards the direction the ship was in.
Thranduil and Legolas both watched Nanaylia as she closed her eyes, as if concentrating on something. It was soon afterwards that rain began to fall from the sky.
"What is going on?" wondered one of the men as they stopped walking.
It was then that a bolt of lightning struck down on the ground. The men released the people they were holding. Jack stepped back in surprise and it was then that he realized how close he was to the side of the island. It was a sharp drop and it ended in water at the bottom.
"Jack!" cried Sonja as she tried to run towards him.
She was soon grasped by one of the men again and pulled away from the scene. Legolas and Thranduil watched as Jack lost his footing and began to fall over the side of the cliff.
