Isabelle ran to were Anamaria was standing, mortified in the Captain's cabin door. Isabelle pushed her aside gruffly. She looked at scene before her. Jack was laying on the floor, eyes rolled back in his head. He was foaming from the mouth. She rushed forward, pulling out a vile of liquid. She held up Jack's head, pouring the liquid into his mouth. He let out a great shuddering breath and his eyes closed. The foam stopped. Anamaria sobbed.
"Help me get him back into bed," Isabelle whispered. Anamarie nodded, helping to lift Jack. Anamarie turned toward Isabelle, and sobbed into her shoulder.
"You're the heroine. I was the one who put the poisoned bullets," Isabelle said, patting her on the back. Anamaria looked up, and Isabelle led her away.
"Come. I need to show you something," Isabelle said, climbing back up to the crow's nest. Anamaria followed.
"I know not your name…. But the stars can tell me," Isabelle said. She gazed at them for a moment.
"Your name…. is it not Anamaria…No. That is your false name…A pirate's name…I have one….Let me see…. Ah. Your name is very pretty…Nyrobi? Yes. It means of her own will," Isabelle murmured. Anamaria looked at Isabelle with amazement.
"How did you do that?" she asked. Isabelle pointed toward the stars.
"Aboard my ship I was known as Starchild. I used to take any new crew up to the crow's nest and tell them of their past. No one every doubted me, for I knew secrets," she said.
"For instance, you grew up with out knowing your mother….Your father wouldn't talk about her, but your older sister said she ran away soon after you were born…You were traumatized, and you ran away looking for her…Then you became a pirate," Isabelle continued. She sighed wearily.
"Your mother is still out there, m' love. Yes, yes... She is still out there; waiting and wondering were you are. Look! See the star there!" Isabelle jumped, pulling Anamaria up also. "She's sending her love… Every time you see that star remember your mother….Do you know her name?" Anamaria shook her head. Isabelle stared into the star.
"Aiyasia…Yes that is her name….And so that will be the stars name. She knows ways to contact you, but you must look hard to see them. There is magic within us all, and you use it without knowing it. She yearns for you.. Just remember everytime you see the star, think of your mother," Isabelle said. She yawned.
"I believe that star is telling us to sleep," she said, pointing to a faded star.
"Really?" Anamaria asked.
"No. I just want to sleep," Isabelle laughed. Anamaria laughed also.
"Farewell and sweet dreams, Nyrobi," Isabelle yawned, jumping down from the crow's nest.
"G'night…" Anamaria said, looking into the star called Aiyasia.
"I'll find you mama…I promise…."
