It was midday when the Executioner, the Avenger, and the Black Pearl left the island of Lazzara. Our hero Captain Jack Sparrow was once again steering the helm, he was free. For the first time in his entire life, his mind was clear. Though he had suffered losses that day, he still could find peace.

Looking over at the Executioner, he saw the new captain at the helm. Captain Gibbs saw Jack and waved as he sailed East, heading to Africa. Jack returned the wave with a grin, then looked over to his left. The Avenger was heading West, making a brief stop in Martinique. At first, Jack didn't understand why even after he went and spoke to Andrew, the guitar boy. Looking at Jack, he smiled and simply said, "I think it's my time to take the chance I never took."

The Avenger was sailing fast, and Jack could barely see Torin, its new captain, giving orders and steering his ship. When finally he looked back, the green-eyed man smiled at Jack; they finally were at a truce.

Sighing deeply, Jack thought of everything in his life that he felt was precious to him; every memory he had loved didn't matter anymore. For it had disappeared right before him.

"What are you thinkin' about Captain?" Said one of Jack's pirates at the foot of the stairs leading up to the helm. Not taking his eyes of the sea, he replied, "Love." The pirate became surprised, "Oh, love! And what would you know about love?" Jack just smiled and said, "Well, to begin with, everything."

The pirate laughed in confidence and boldly stated, moving up the stairs, "You don't seem the type that would fall in love. Well tell me then Captain, who's your love?" Sparrow grinned as he thought, then told the pirate, "She was once known as the cruelest most cunning pirates ever to sail these waters. Pirates everywhere were inspired by her strength, integrity, and desire to be different. She was weird all right, and I loved her for it."

The pirate who had been listening walked right up to Sparrow and asked, "That's all? You can say nothing else about this girl?" Jack tipped his hat downward a tad from the blaring sun setting over the water and replied, "I could also mention that many perceived her as 'the most beautiful girl throughout the seven seas.' But they were wrong. She is the most beautiful lady throughout the seven seas.' The legend of her beauty and strength will live on forever."

Then the pirate said doubtingly, "I don't think I've ever seen this rare beauty!" Trying to play it cool, Sparrow stated, "Then you should look into a mirror love. I promise it'll be quite worthwhile!" Jack grinned as he turned his eyes to Amera's midnight blue ones. She smiled and laughed at him, then took his hat off his head and placed it on her own. Then, Jack let her take hold of the helm as he held her from behind.

Steering due North, Amera asked her love, "Where exactly are we going Jack?" And as cheekily and slyly as ever, he exclaimed, "We're heading for Port Royal! I thought he could check in on our favorite newlyweds and see what they've been up to for the last two years!" Jack and Amera laughed together, as happy as they could be.

Then, Amera looked at him seriously, and told him, "You know, I was serious about settling down one day. Living somewhere with someone I loved, for the rest of my life. I think I'm going to go back to Lazzara. It was quite beautiful there. I will you know, I'm going to one day!" Smoothly, Jack rapped his arms tighter around Amera's waist and told her, "One day we will Amera. I promise. But until then, let us enjoy our life of piracy! Is everybody with me?" Jack yelled. His faithful and noble crew cheered with him and he stated, "Drinks all around!"

Jack smiled until he noticed Amera was still looking back at him. She looked at him eagerly as he stared her down with his chocolate eyes. Then he whispered to her, "I don't know what I'd do without you." Then, turning her around, he held her head and leaned in and kissed her. Their kiss stood still that day, during that sunset, on the open water. And they and their legend would stand still in time for all eternity.

The End
