This is it the end is near.
CHAPTER 12: WE ARE THE GUARDIANS
The man stepped out of the shadows, allowing them to see him. He had blue eyes, white hair and wore a white robe. "Unless you are someone we have been waiting for." The man said in a deep sultry voice that made Connor shiver.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow savvy? It would not be wise of ye to threaten me."
"Look around you Captain Sparrow. You are outnumbered. As soon as you raise your sword you will be killed."
"He's right Jack. Please don't do anything stupid." Connor whispered to him.
Jack relaxed at her words and smiled at the man. "There has to be a way for us to settle this without trouble mate."
The man chuckled in his throat. "There is. First tell us who the lady is. We know that you are Captain Jack Sparrow, but who is she?"
"She is Connor. . ." Jack turned to face her, "You never told me your last name."
"Valentine." Connor answered, never taking her eyes off of the man in front of her.
"Ah, this is Connor Valentine."
"Is she your lass or just a member of your crew. We know you are a Captain."
"She is my lass." Jack replied, tightening his grip on Connor's hand.
"Who are you?"
"We are the Guardians of the treasure. When the city sank there were some survivors who learned to live down here. We are their descendants. We guard this treasure."
"From what?"
"People. You see, this treasure was collected by the citizens. Therefore it belongs to the citizens. So unless you are a descendant, you cannot touch this gold."
"Such devotion." Connor muttered, making Jack laugh.
The man's face became hard. "How did you find this place?"
"We followed a map."
"A map? What map?"
"A map that we have."
"That's not possible. According to myth there is only one map. And in order for you to have it you would have to be a descendant of the King of Atlantis himself. Do one of you have the map?"
Jack turned to look at Connor. "I do." She answered.
"Where?"
She turned around and lifted up her shirt to show the map. The man gasped in shock.
"You are our princess."
Connor lowered her shirt and turned back around. "That's not possible, my family came from England."
"One of your parents has family from here. It is entirely possible for you to be a descendant of the king and you are. We welcome you back. You are welcome to as much of the treasure as you want. We will leave you be."
"Thank you." Connor said under her breath.
The Guardians disappeared back into the shadows and were gone. Jack smiled childishly and walked toward the treasure. Connor stood where she was in shock.
"Connor this is amazing. Come on let's take all of it." Jack said turning to face her.
"That's nice Jack." She said distracted by her thoughts.
"Ye all right lass?"
"Just peachy Jack. I just found out why I have this damned map, which is what I've always wanted to know, and I don't know if I should believe it. I'm in shock over here and all you can care about is this damn treasure!"
"Not true Connor. As you can clearly see I don't care more about the treasure than you. See, I'm standing right in front of you, if you looked up you would see that."
Connor lifted her head and found herself staring into the eyes of Jack. They looked at her with worry. "Should I believe them?"
"I don't know. But at least now you have a possibility about them. I don't know a lot about yer family, you haven't told me about them remember."
"Your right. I shouldn't worry about that right now, I have this nice treasure in front of me." "That's me girl."
"Right, we have the treasure and there is nothing to stop us."
"You will not touch that treasure!"
