Hello! My first PotC fic! I don't read them, so I'm not sure how this will go down…but this fic is basically how I imagine the third movie to be. I've read a few spoilers, seen pics, so I guess this is just my impression. Please review and tell me what you think. And I don't mind if you don't like something, just give me some reasonable explanation and what I could do to improve.

Prologue

Lord Cutler Beckett looks out to the water of Port Royal, hands behind his back. The room is filled with muttering with other lords and gentlemen, awaiting for Beckett to address them.

"Gentlemen," Beckett says back still facing them. The men silence immediately. "The time has come for piracy to be eliminated. Their reign of terror is coming to an end. No longer shall they command the Seven Seas. No longer shall we stand for their crimes against the crown. My friends, I plan to rid these waters of piracy and everything that comes with it,"

"But how?" one asks.

Beckett turns around sharply, and evil smile on his face. "I'm glad you asked. Who here is acquainted with the story surrounding the Heart of Davy Jones?"

A murmur goes through the assembly of men.

"That is what I thought. And I suppose you all thought it to be nothing but a story. A myth,"

"Well, let's be honest. How can anyone carve out their own heart and stow it away elsewhere? Obviously it's not true" one says.

"That is where you are wrong. Otherwise," Beckett says opens a chest on his desk, revealing the thumping heart. "How would I have gotten this?"

Shocked gasps fill the room and the men lean forward to get a better look, eyes bulging.

"Oh good Lord…" one man whispers.

"Gentlemen, this is going to bring the downfall of pirates around the world…for good," Beckett says.

The sun rises above the treetops, birds singing sweetly, the murky water still. Elizabeth Swann sits outside Tia Dalma's house, staring aimlessly, lost in her thoughts.

"It's not your fault," Tia says approaching her. Elizabeth turns around to look at her.

"Yes it is," she says her voice raspy.

"You did what you needed to do," Tia says.

"I killed him," she says, her eyes blank, her voice soft.

"You can save him," Tia says. "I told you what you must be done. The rest is up to you,"

"But how? What do I do if I were to be able to sail to the end of the world and beyond?" Elizabeth says, almost as if not believing what she said. Where do we go from there?"

"I can tell you. Do you know the story of Persephone?"

"Yes. She was abducted by Hades and forced to be his Queen, her mother demanded she be returned, and it was granted, unless she had eaten or drunk anything. Persephone had eaten six pomegranate seeds, which lead to the compromise that she should stay six months in the Underworld and six with her mother. What has that to do with rescuing Jack?" Elizabeth says.

"Anxious to go save him? My, you are something. Not much is known about Persephone after that. But I tell you, soon Persephone realised that not all the souls that came through were meant to have died, and few still had Unfinished Business left on Earth. So she secretly raised an island where the spirits who were not yet ready to be part of the Underworld were sent. Where Jack's spirit rests," Tia says.

"So all we have to do is go to the island?" Elizabeth says

"Well, first you must go to Persephone and beg her to return Jack's spirit," Tia says.

"But I know he's on this island. I can just go straight there," Elizabeth says.

"No! Do not get on the wrong side of the Queen of the Underworld. You must go see her first," Tia says.

At that moment Will comes out of Tia's hut. He looks at Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth," Will says.

"Will. We must go save Jack," she says.

"Yes," Will says nodding slightly. "But…where will we get the ship?"

"You are lucky that I have a ship then," Tia says.

"Thankyou, Miss Dalma," Elizabeth says.

"Remember, you must first go see Persephone in the Underworld," Tia says before walking back into the hut.

"Underworld? What exactly does she mean by that?" Will asks.

"It's how we can to save Jack," Elizabeth says before also going back into the hut.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gibbs, Pintel, and Ragetti are on Tia's ship getting ready to leave.

Elizabeth comes out, dressed in her menswear followed by Will, Barbossa and Tia.

"Where are you going?" Will asks Barbossa.

"To save Jack," Barbossa says.

"What!" Will and Elizabeth cry.

"You need a captain who knows how to get to the Underworld and the path to the island," Tia says.

"He betrayed Jack!" Will says looking at him with disgust.

"What's done is done, boy. Besides, I owe Miss Dalma here, and if she asks me to go save that conniving Jack Sparrow, then go I shall," he growls.

Elizabeth and Will look at each other then back at Barbossa and Tia.

"Fine," Will says. Elizabeth looks at Barbossa contemptuously then boards the ship. Barbossa smirks and then follows suit. Will is about to go as well, but is stopped by Tia.

"Remember Will Turner, sometimes things aren't what they seem. Trust your heart, but listen to your head," she says looking at him. Will nods before he too boards the ship.

Tia watches them as they sail away, her eyes glittering and smiles.

Yes, so that's the prologue. I have in fact incorporated Greek Mythology into this fic.

Please tell me what you think and I'll be sure to take into account what you say.
