Jack sparrow left for Olympus with Barbossa's ship the next day. Traveling to the other dimension was not a joke as one has to cross the Bermuda itself. Jack was alone and the only company he had was his rum, to sail a ship alone was out of question but since it was 'queens Anne revenge' with the help of the sword he was able to control the ship. He didn't know how his journey even went by as it was long, tiring and lonely. Jack never felt lonely in his life before until now, as there was no sign of life and total darkness covered his path. Days passed to months as he searched for the secret doorway to the other dimension. He had never been there before so he didn't know the way, he had been traveling alone for almost a year now and he didn't know how to even give up or go back home, as total darkness covered everything. The only thing he knew was that he was on the ship. He didn't feel dead nor alive and with time he became numb and was on the verge of insanity until one day he saw a bright star on the sky.

Joy filled his heart as he saw the twinkling star, he followed the star to the north and with every step he took he was closer to light. For the first time ever in his life he felt so happy to be alive and see the light. As bright flickering lights blinded his eyes he was unable to see and his ear drums were about to explode any second by a sharp noise. As the noise grew louder and the lights brighter he screamed in agony unable to take it anymore. In a wink of an eye the noise stopped and the lights became dimmer. As he slowly opened his eyes adjusting to the environment around him, he found himself sailing in endless clouds as he looked up on the sky he saw the blue sky. He didn't know whether it was a dream or was he dead but slowly as the clouds made way he could spot an island at a distant and then he came to his senses it was Olympus.

"Olympus" he yelled in joy as he rowed nearer and nearer. He was going insane in excitement as he can see the city of Olympus from his very own naked eyes. He punched himself wondering if it was a dream but it wasn't. As the ship reached the port he got down from the ship with a proud smile "at last I'm here" he said to himself.

There were greeneries everywhere from fruit trees to vineyards to bushes and flower beds. Varieties of plants and animals were seen, the ones which he never saw or heard of in earth were also there. There were birds flying from one direction to the other chirping merrily.

The roads were made of white marbles of spotless white. Hundreds of statues were placed and water fountains were seen almost everywhere. Jack have never admired a place in his life before and it was his first, he was in paradise that's what he knew. There were people dressed in white robes busy with their day to day chores. They were all high maintained and beautiful and as he looked up towards the valley he saw the temple of the gods. It was massive and made of pure white marble as he was lost in its beauty a young man in a white robe came and stood in front of him "captain sparrow" the young man said gently.

Jack looked at him quite confused, he didn't know who the young man was. He was wearing the same white robe as the others but he was bald with a very joyful face. "Yes" jack said awkwardly.

"I was waiting for you captain. Welcome to the city of Olympus" the man welcomed him.

"I'm here, to meet someone" jack said.

"Yes and the lady is ready to meet you" the man said.

"Do you know, who I'm even talking about?" Jack asked.

"Yes, I know you are here for the goddess Athena"  the man smiled.

"Aye! Aye! Lead the way" jack chuckled as the man lead him to the temple. It was a long flight of stairs but jack felt nothing, it was like his body was floating he felt so light and he felt like he reached the temple in less than a minute.

"That was fast" jack looked at the man.

"You are in paradise captain" the man smiled.

The temple was bigger than he expected and it had a huge door way about 100 foot in height and breadth was the entrance. There were carvings of all kinds and the workmanship was so marvelous. It was work of no man. It must be the work of the gods jack thought. He entered a huge hall that had huge seats made of gold and all kinds of precious stones that glitters in the sunlight.

"This is the meeting area, of the gods" the man smiled as he told jack.

"impressive" jack responded.

From outside it looks like a huge temple but from inside it was even more massive than what meets the eyes, there were endless doors and stairs leading to so many different directions that it was like a town of its own. The man took jack to a door that leads to a very long hallway and as they crossed about 30 doors they stopped at the final door that was in the middle on the hallway. The door had a very beautiful design of the 'gem of the sea' craved to perfection and as he was admiring the art, the door opened slowly revealing a very beautiful fountain with sparkling water and long white satin curtains of pure white. As he walked in the man said "here we are" and as Jack looked out towards the balcony he saw her. It was Athena herself in person standing on the balcony looking towards the mountains with her back against the door where jack was standing. She didn't notice that he was already there. Jack was almost speechless it's been long but here he was "my lady" he called her name as he stood right there looking at her long wavy silver grey hair.
