Tia looked over the two bodies that were left in her care. After this time, the bodies of Will and Mami should have begun to breakdown but they had not. She studied the marking written over Will's body and tried to read them from her notes of long ago when she studied under Mami Utai. She found small scars on Will's hand, over his heart and on his forehead. There was also a vile containing what Tia thought was blood on Mami's body but she had no idea whose blood or why Mami kept it so close to her. She had also found blank parchment on her body.
Tia's old notes were of little help. From what little she could decipher, the markings on Will's body was a control spell; one in which the person willing gives themselves completely to their controller. Tia could hardly believe that Will would give himself willingly to Mami Utai. She found some old writing about something about the blood united. That would explain the blood kept so close to her heart. She looked at the parchment – it reminded her of the parchment Abrafro made her write the note to Will upon. She held up the parchment and said an incantation. Slowly words began to appear, "Awww," Tia said, "Now I understand." It was a note written to one of her followers roughly translated it told of a precaution she took with herself and Will. She had given him a potion to keep them "undead" if either of them should be killed. It went on to tell them how to bring them back. There was just one little catch – according to the notes Mami would need to bring Will back from the "dead."
Tia searched through all of her spells and thought how she might save Will without bring Mami Utai back. She dared not risk bring Mami back because she would just take Will and go back to her original plan and take Will's destiny as hers.
Thinking back to the stories Jack and Elizabeth had told Tia. Right before Will died he had started to breakaway from Mami's hold over him. If Tia was right, there was one way to overcome all of this but she needed one thing – Will's true love. Tia sent for her fastest messenger – she needed to get word to Port Royal and now.
Elizabeth was sitting having tea with Jess and Jack discussing the funeral plans. It had been an extremely rough time for Elizabeth and Jack was trying to be polite and respectful but as much as he tried to drink the tea properly, he fumbled and spilled it on himself. "Why, can someone please explain to me, they ever thought that drinking a non-rum drink out of tiny little dainty cups was supposed to be civilized?" He finally set it down and threw up his arms. Both Elizabeth and Jess couldn't help but smile. "What are you looking at? Where's your father and his good liquor when you need it?"
"Jack relax. He will be back soon but we need to finish…" Elizabeth started to talk but was interrupted by a servant.
"Sorry ma'am but there is a man here and he says it's urgent."
"Send him in immediately," Elizabeth said.
The servant showed the man in to where Elizabeth, Jack and Jess were seated. "Tia sent me to give dis to ye," the man said as he handed the note to Jack. Jack carefully read the note – his face turned pale and he sat down.
"Jack. Jack what is it? What did the note say?" Elizabeth began to walk over to look at the note.
"Elizabeth. Sit down love. We need to talk."
Jess stood up and walked over to stand by Elizabeth. "Jack, I think it's time you told Elizabeth and I about that note."
Jack read the note out loud:
Jack,
I have some hope for ye. No promise but William Turner may yet return. Need the young boy's true love. Come quickly spare no time.
Tia
Elizabeth looked up at Jack. "How quickly can the Black Pearl be ready to sail?"
"Consider it ready love."
Elizabeth ran up the stairs to gather a few things and have someone tell her father. Jack went with Jess to gather her things and soon returned to gather Elizabeth. Elizabeth hugged her father. "Just tell everyone the funeral is postponed a while I and that I am trying to recover from my grief. I'll be back before you know it. And this time I hope to finish planning my wedding."
"Elizabeth my dear, I wish you wouldn't go but I know that there is no way for me to stop you. Mr. Sparrow take care of my daughter and bring her back safely to me again."
Jack only nodded to the Governor and Elizabeth, Jack and Jess once again left Port Royal to travel to see Tia Dalma.
