Together (Henry Turner)

Aria and Carina hurried to the main deck of the ship with Jack finally following them. He ran down the steps from the front of the ship and passed Barbossa. "Hector, I think you should know she is a horologist." He said to him before running away.

Aria, Carina, Jack, and Barbossa walked across the glittering island following the astronomer's lead. The three pirates looked around their surrounding in awe as they walked along the rocks. The two girls caught a glimpse of the missing star, it wasn't glowing. Exchanging glances, they quickened their pace and jogged up the the tall rock that was covered in red crystals. Jack and Barbossa hurried to catch up to circle around the rock.

Carina reached out to touch the red crystals, running her fingers over it as Aria leaned in to study it as well. "Why isn't glowing like the others?" The red head asked the astronomer.

"I don't know." The brunette replied as Barbossa took a step forward to her.

"Finish it, Carina." He said holding the missing piece of the crystal in his open hand causing the girls to lean back.

Carina looked at him and hesitated before taking the missing piece from his hand. "The missing star." She said looking at it. "For my father."

"Aye," Barbossa looked at her softly, his eyes twitching as he spoke. "Do it for him."

Aria gave a confused pout, scrunching her eyebrows down as she looked at Barbossa then at Carina. Looking back at Jack, she mouth, 'Is he her..?' Jack gave a nod, holding his finger to his lips. 'Wow..' She mouthed back, eyes wide.

Jack rose his eyebrows and looked at her to mouth back, 'tell me about it.'

  Moving her eyes, Carina looked to the empty spot and placed the piece on it. The star started to glow and a ray of red light shot out to connect with the other star. That star then shot out three rays to the other stars, forming the sketch in Carina's journal. 

The four looked around in amazement as the island began to shake slightly. A loud bubbling sound in the ocean grew behind them. One by one, they turned to see a bubbling line forming in the ocean. The water began to separate, divide, and open up. The opening came closer and closer to the island, causing rocks to fall down as the water moved. Suddenly, the water opened up right in front of them, causing Jack, Aria, and Carina to fall down. Screams erupted from the three as they fell down and slid to the exposed ocean floor. They slid down a larger, rocky, slope passing by things that once was covered by water.

Jack and Carina slid beside each other while Aria slid above them. The three flew off the slope and face planted into the sandy ocean floor as the red head landed right on top of them. "Ouch...sorry." She groaned, slowly sliding down to squeeze in between them on to the ground.

"Aria, look." Carina panted, looking up. Aria lifted her head to look out, letting out a gasp as the three pushed themselves off the ground. They looked around to see two ocean walls on each side of them, seeing all types of plants and creatures swimming normally. Parts of old, broken ships were sticking out of the ocean walls or stuck in the bottom of the ocean floor along with all types of aquatic plants and sea creatures. The sigh was breath taking.

Carina and Jack stood looking around while Aria started walking off in determination but also looked around in curiosity. The red head walked over rocks and cautiously watched where she was walking. "We need to keep moving." She called, walking around a big bolder covered in barnacles.

"Aria, wait up!" Carina called coming up around the bolder along with Jack. "Look." She smiled looking ahead of her.

"Poseidon's tomb." Jack's voice echoed as the three paused to look at the sigh.
