Jack did not say anything on the ride back to the Black Pearl, nor did he say anything for the rest of the day. He just went about holding the necklace, staring out into space. Finally, he went up to the crow's nest, and didn't come down for supper. Anamaria came up and found tears running down the fearless captains cheeks. Anamaria wrapped a comforting arm around his shoulders.

"You miss her don't you?" she asked. Jack nodded.

"She'll come back. She's fighting," Anamaria said looking up at the stars. One was out shining its neighbor, from time to time, it'd weaken, but it stayed strong.

"See that star. That's Namid, the star dancer, Isabelle's star. The star next to Namid is Krishana, the beautiful and powerful one. Your star, Jack, is on the horizon. It is called Wendell, the wander. Mine is next to my mother's. Nyrobi, the star that has her own will," Anamaria continued, pointing out different stars. Soon, the stars faded out as the sun rose, except for one.

"The Morning Star, or Arrisen," she said, looking at it deeply.

"It is just me, or have you grown wiser since we last sat down and talked?" Jack asked curtly. Anamaria gave him a playful shove.

"It's Isabelle. She's affected us all," she murmured, before jumping down. Jack followed her. She moved about swiftly, calling up Gaston. The French man came up, swearing in French.

"Have 'er sword?" Anamaria asked Gaston. He nodded, and jumped into the dinghy. Anamaria woke Will and several others, all climbing into the dinghy. Jack looked puzzled, and started to ask Anamaria what she was doing, but she just shoved him into the dinghy. They started to row toward the Island. Jack stared. He didn't really want to be in the presence of that woman again, but it was for Isabelle…

Isabelle sat at the long mahogany table. Her dress was Alice blue, and fit her perfectly. She looked at the salad in front of her glumly. Nili stared down at her.

"Eat," she commanded. Isabelle started to eat, but she'd take only a bit at a time. An old game she'd used to play. Nili smiled.

"Up to your old games, aye Starchild?" she asked. "Eat bigger bites, dear." Isabelle obeyed. Next came soup, she slurped it up. Then the main course, she slopped it down her front. Then desert, well, she liked it too much to do anything. Nili sent Isabelle to bed.

The lonely woman sat on the window seat. She sat looking at the star's, silent tears streaming down her cheeks. The window was thrown open. She sang a song softly into the wind.

"Farewell to old England the beautiful!
Farewell to my old pals as well!
Farewell to the famous Old Baily
Where I used to cut such a swell.

My Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay!"

A woman came into the room, and started to tend to the fire. She listened to Isabelle's singing.

"It's seven long years I been serving,
It's seven I got for to stay,
For beatin' a cop down our alley
An' takin' his truncheon away.
My Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay!"

The woman stopped her job completely. She was staring at Isabelle.

"There's the captain what is our commander,
The bos'n an' all the ship's crew,
The married and also the single ones
Knows what us poor convicts goes through.
My Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay!
It ain't that they don't give us grub enough,
It ain't that they don't give us clothes;
It's all 'cause we light-fingered gentry
Goes about with a chain on our toes.
O had I the wings of a turtle dove,
I'd spread out my pinions and fly
Into the arms of my lover
And in his arms I'd lie."

The woman looked at the ring upon her finger. It was an eagle perched upon a skull. She had a ring like that years ago.
"My Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Laity
Too-ral li Roo-lal li Lay!

Now all you young viscounts and duchesses
Take warning by what I do say,
And mind it's all yours what you touches-es
Or you'll land down in Botany Bay."

Isabelle turned away from the window and saw the woman.

"Hello…I didn't know Nili had any human servants," she whispered softly.

"There aren't much of us 'round any more. She kill 'em or turned 'em into animals," the woman spoke, with a hint of shyness.

"Ah. Shame…. Nili took me in as a child, trained my powers, then used me for evil. I ran away and turned to piracy. Then I had my son, and I went to the New World. Then I met Jack again. He's the father of my son. Joined him aboard the Black Pearl…Then…Then she took Jack, and we had a trade off…" Isabelle turned toward the stars again.

"Don't mind me askin', but where did you get tha' ring?" the woman asked.

"This? Oh, a friend gave it to me. Nyrobi's her real name, goes by Anamaria," Isabelle said. The woman stared at the ring, tears welling in her eyes.

"My daughter's name was Nyrobi. That was my ring. I gave it to my daughter… Then I was captured by Nili," the woman sighed, wiping her eyes.

"Aiyasia?" Isabelle asked. The woman nodded. "Your daughter, Nyrobi, she's fine. She's part of the crew of the Black Pearl, but Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner undid the curse over three years ago."

Aiyasia smiled, the two woman told stories to each other till a loud bang echoed through the palace.
