Prologue: Reunited At Last

I am not a pirate, nor have I ever been on any crazy adventure across the seven seas. However, I have heard tales of pirates and all of the myths and legends of the sea. Being that my parents are William Turner and Elizabeth Swan, the life of a pirate is practically ingrained in my DNA. . My mother often would tell me tales of when she and father were on the seas.

My favorite story was when my mother and father got married. However, that story, the ending of it anyway, has a sad part. The part where my parents were separated from each other for eternity except for one day every ten years. That is a tragic end to a great story. I have only seen my father once in my life, when I was about nine years old. It was the same way for my twin brother Henry.

Not a day goes by without the thoughts of my father. My mother has done well to make a life for herself without her true love. I see the pain in her eyes, the hurt. She misses him deeply, and there's nothing that can be done.

The only hope is in the Trident of Poseidon. I've read legends and myths about it, in nearly every language. Perhaps, finding this Trident could break my father's curse, but how does one find it when the only way to find it is with a map that no man can read? Maybe, just maybe if I continue to research the Trident, I will find the map and be able to figure it out. There's a lovely thought. If only there were a way to save my father and break the curse that holds him eternally to the Dutchman. What a horrible fate. Not one that I would want, nor anyone else for that matter.

However, Henry-thanks to my guidance and judgment is seeking the Trident. I wish it were me looking for it. I would love to be able to go on an adventure like one my mum and father went on. That is something I fancy.

As a walk along the shore line, I keep hoping that one-day Henry will come back. He's been at sea since we were thirteen or so. In his first attempt to find father, he did succeed, however, father sent him back. That seemed like the best thing, however, that made my brother more determined to free my father from the curse.

After a little while of walking along the shore, I decide to head back home. It's senseless to continually look for my brother. He's been gone for quite some time-when all the years are added up. He's come home some, but not for too terribly long. I'll give him one thing, he is a very determined individual.

When I arrive back at the house, my mum is no where to be found. She almost always is here this time of the day. I then look throughout the house, and still cannot find her. I then hear my little brother, Ben. She wouldn't have left him alone, would she? I then find Ben in his room playing with a toy.

"Where's mum?" I ask. He shrugs his shoulders and goes back to playing. What if she was taken by pirates or something? "Ben, come on." I say. I then take him by the hand and we walk outside. I need to find my mum. We walk about a quarter of a mile, and I finally see someone. Four people, actually. To be more precise, two women and two men. Ben and I then walk a little bit further, and I am finally able to make out who three of the four individuals are. It's mum, Henry, and Father. I guess Henry finally did it! He broke father's curse, but how?

I then start running towards them, and Ben follows. Not that he really knows what is going on, but because he is at the stage where he wants to copy nearly everything I do- which is annoying.

"Henry, did you break father's curse?" I ask when I reach them.

"Aye, I did, but I didn't do it alone," he says. I then see a beautiful girl with Henry and they are holding hands.

"How did you do it?" I ask.

"We found the Trident, it worked just like you said it would," Henry says.

"But, I thought it was impossible to find," I say.

"So, did I, but with Carina's help, and help from Jack, we were able to find it," he says.

"Thank you," I say to Carina. I'm so happy that father's curse is finally broken and that we all can be together, a family, once again. This makes me very happy, and I know it makes my mum happy as well.
