"What are ye doing 'ere?" Jack asked as Elizabeth and Will climbed out of their dinghy and onto land.
"We saw all the ships leaving Port Royal." She explained.
"You're outnumbered, Jack." Her husband put in. "You need all the help you can get. Henry and Carina are on the ship with some others we picked up to help."
"If we're outnumbered that badly, why come help?" The pirate captain asked, raising an eyebrow. "We're not likely to get out of 'ere alive, mate."
"Jack, we came to help because you're our friend. We betrayed each other a lot- I even killed you- but that doesn't change anything." Elizabeth declared.
"The more of us, the harder it is for them." Will added.
"Guess we'll see, eh?" Jack replied with a small shrug. "Best hope ye're right."
"What is this place?" The man asked, looking around.
"Ah, that's right. Ye weren't 'ere last time I was." The captain remembered. "T'is, mate, is Whitecap Bay. Home of the mermaids."
"Mermaids?" Elizabeth looked surprised. "I thought they were a myth."
"Never assume anything is a myth. Remember the Kraken? That's very much real, in't?" Jack pointed out reluctantly. He pulled up his sleeve and pointed to an old scar. "This in't the only one it left me."
She looked away, clearly feeling the guilt of it once again. "I'm sorry about that…"
"It's fine." The captain waved it off. "That was years ago. Now, we worry 'bout what's 'bout to happen, savvy?"
"Jack's right." Will agreed, nodding. "We need to focus on the attack that's about to happen, not the Kraken attack from so long ago."
"Alright." Elizabeth drew in a deep breath, composing herself. "What do we need to do, Jack?"
Jack gave a small smile before replying. "We need half your crew on land, the other half on the water in your ship. Don't forget to have 'em line her up with the rest o' 'em."
The former blacksmith nodded firmly. "Aye."
He and his wife set off to their ship to tell their crew what to do.
