"We got one!" "I'm in love!" He said, gleefully. "Check the wounded! See if you can find one mermaid still alive!" Blackbeard said. "Come, give a hand!" He said. "Well done, sailor." "Did everyone see that? Because I will not be doing it again," Jack said. "You're darn right you won't!" I said. "Back to the ship. We head for a protected cove. Now," Blackbeard said. We were about to trek through the jungle. For some reason, Jack had to be blindfolded.

Angelica went to help him walk but I grabbed her arm. "If you don't mind, I'll be helping my husband. Thank you very much," I said. "It's to you now, Sparrow," Blackbeard said. "Was that really necessary?" Jack asked. "Best you not know the exact whereabouts of my ship. I be a cautious man," He explained. "So be I. What I want first... is my darling wife's forgiveness. Second is Ponce se Leon's ship," Jack said.

We were now on our way to find the ship. "Why is it we've got to bring her along?" "Because tears don't keep. We need them fresh," Angelica said. "What is the ritual again?" Jack asked. "Water from the Fountain and a mermaid's tear?" "And two silver chalices. One cup with a tear, one without," I said. "So, one with a tear and water in both? Quite complicated, is it not, darling?" He asked. "Both get water. One gets a tear."

"The person who drinks the water with the tear gets all the years of life from the other," I explained. "How many years?" Jack asked. "All the years that they have lived, and they could have lived, if fate had been kinder," She said. "Clergyman. In the off chance that this does not go well for me, I would like it noted here and now that I am fully prepared to believe in whatever I must, so that I may be welcomed into that place where all the goody-goodies get to go. Savvy?" Jack said.

"We have a word for that, Jack. You can convert. I know full well that your wife is going to Heaven. She is good hearted, kind and pure." "I was thinking more of an as-needed basis."
