I'll Take my Chances
Chapter 5
Jack stood leaning against the railing watching the sunset. The water was a beautiful green, so pure that you could see the sand, even though the water was very deep. He started to think of how different Port Royal was to Tortuga, his favourite port. The land was cleaner, the people were kinder, and the woman were not as easy.
"Captain, you said you wanted to see me?" His first mate Gibbs said. He was an old man who devoted his life to the sea, and was a very true friend to Jack, one of his few loyal friends.
"Aye Gibbs, have you heard the story of the Teal Ring?" Jack asked Gibbs, as Gibbs always knew myths and legends.
"Aye, Its said that there are only two on the entire ocean, and its said that you must sail to the Isle De Puerto, "The land of the Betrayers" that some people like to call it" Gibbs opened his mouth to continue but was cut off by Jack's curiosity
"And why do they call it that?" Jack looked as Gibbs, and Gibbs gave a stern look, he hated to be interrupted in his great tales.
"I'm getting to that Captain" Jack nodded for Gibbs to continue.
"Anyway, if you are to sail to the Isle De Puerto you must have the Teal Ring and a person to sacrifice. You see the only way you can get immortality is to have blood from the heart, from its owner" Jack eyes widened
"Who me?!" Gibbs looked him in the eye
"No, who did you steal it from, that, is who you must sacrifice" Jack stopped leaning against the rail and started to walk around the deck. He stopped and turned and faced Gibbs
"Chart a course to Port Royal Mr. Gibbs!" Gibbs rushed off to the wheel, dodging all the drunken crew.
The Pearl turned right around and crashed against the waves at full speed, and made its way to Port Royal.
