"So I hope, you all have met" Athena said as she took her seat on the table. She was sitting in between jack and barbossa while Will and cutler sat opposite to her.

"Yes, we all did" barbossa smiled.

"That's good to know. I've not been here for long, so I need you all to run the sea once more" Athena exhaled.

"We are pirates, we don't need the Royal Navy in this" Will said.

"Didn't you hear what the lady just said. She needs us all" cutler protested.

"I know there have been quite a problem with the Royal Navy and the Pirates, but now as the death is back everyone needs to work hand in hand. One cannot stand alone" Athena mumbled.

"But you are a goddess. You can defeat Salazar" jack looked at Athena.

"I'm afraid to say that, I cannot" Athena murmured.

"But how?" Jack, Will, barbossa and cutler all asked Athena in horror.

"Because he's my half brother" Athena said slowly. As there was drop dead silence in the room. Everyone was speechless and couldn't say another word. "I can't kill him. He's my brother. I can never kill my own blood. Even if he's the son of medusa" Athena said as she stood up and left the table. They were all shocked, they couldn't even say a word to each other. They stayed there in silence and shock for some minutes until jack said "this is not happening"

"How did, this even happen" cutler hissed.

"One didn't see this coming" Will mumbled.

"This is bad" Barbossa murmured.

"I've to talk to the lady" jack said as he stood up and left looking for Athena.

"I need to talk to her as well" Will said as he stood up.

"Let just jack go alone" barbossa stopped Will.

"We have a big problem" cutler exhaled.

"You are the problem out here and now Salazar" Will looked at cutler.

"This is not a joke Will but if Salazar's is really the lady's half brother. We all are in danger" cutler stood up.

"Yes, we are because the lady might take his side instead of ours. The sea is doomed now" barbossa said in horror.

"Mind your tongue barbossa" cutler hissed.

"I guess this is the right time, to remind her of the past" Will said.

"You can't do such things" cutler looked at Will in annoyance.

"Because you are scared. She will finally find out every wrong you did and prison you" Will chuckled.

"My lady" jack said as he stood next to Athena who was on the beach looking at the sea.

"I know, you would come" Athena exhaled.

"You know me well" jack chuckled as he opened his bottle of rum.

"You want to know about Salazar, don't you" Athena looked at jack.

Jack nodded "everyone does"

"I found out about him the day we reached Port Royal. I've forgotten that my father betrayed my mother years ago. Olympus did take a lot of my memories away but when I came to know about Salazar, I remembered about what my father did and then I came to know.....he was the son of medusa" she said slowly.

"I'm sorry to hear that, my lady" jack mumbled.

"He was trapped in Bermuda for years jack. Only when medusa was slain he was able to come out of Bermuda. I know what he did but he's my brother I've to see him. He's only in this mess because of my father's mistake" Athena looked at jack.

"Really? Are you sure my lady. You want to meet him" jack looked horrified.

"Yes I do jack. What could go wrong after all he's family" Athena smirked.

In the back of his mind jack had thousand of questions but he didn't dare to question the lady but he was on deep fear that after meeting him she would make the wrong decision as she was not herself anymore. He gulped down half of his rum in distress as Athena looked at him and chuckled "you are weird jack"

"I'm tensed" jack coughed.

"Don't worry. I'm taking you with me to meet Salazar" she grinned.

Salazar was the last person jack wanted to meet but he didn't know what to tell Athena, so he just kept quite and looked at her. She looked quite happy and satisfied with everything that was going on and jack wanted to know what was really going on in her mind but he couldn't even ask her anything about it.
