2 Chapter 1: A new beginning
After Jack Sparrow was eaten by the Kraken along with the Black Pearl, he ended up captive in the domain of Davy Jones.
Jack had been imprisoned body and soul in a seemingly endless desert that was connected to an equally endless sea.
Jack is doomed to be the captain of the Black Pearl, manned by many Jack Sparrow simulacrums, in the desert and the ship never moves.
Tired of the madness he was going through, Jack jumps off the ship and discovers a stone in front of him.
He grabs the stone and throws it far out into the desert.
Then he turns around and returns to the boat.
But after a while, he discovers that the stone was somehow following him.
In doubt, Jack licks the stone looking for any inconsistencies.
When he discovers that there is none, he throws the stone back.
Then he turns around again and tries to push the Pearl on his own.
After a while he gets tired, but then for some reason, the stone turns into a crab.
And then many stone-shaped crabs appear and carry the stranded Black Pearl to the seashore.
While Jack was chasing it from behind.
Arriving at the shore of the Sea, Jack is relieved to think that he can finally escape from this hell.
But his biggest problem is that he has no crew to sail with now, but not to be discouraged he decides to set sail alone in the hope of escaping.
This is how Jack Sparrow sailed alone through the infinite sea, known as the Sea of Lost Souls.
What Jack did not know is that if he had waited a while longer on the shore of the Sea, he would have met the arrival of Barbossa, William, Elizabeth, and a whole crew with whom he could have set sail and escaped to the world of the living.
Even Tia Dalma or Calypso did not expect this result, this is because apparently, Jack managed to reach the infinite sea ahead of schedule because he found the crab stones earlier than he was supposed to, and then he, like all irrational pirates, set sail on this endless sea alone.
But now it was too late to think about it, Jack Sparrow was already sailing alone with his compass in search of any escape route it indicated.
The only means by which to get out of the locker was to sail this Sea of Lost Souls to (or more precisely, out of) the End of the World.
Jack was adrift and without a fixed course, but he continued to trust the path indicated by his compass, what he wanted most was to escape and without a doubt, he was going to do so.
For a while, he was sailing in these waters filled with the souls of those who died at sea.
These souls were also drifting aimlessly, unable to reach the afterlife because they were abandoned by Davy Jones, whose duty it was to take them to the "other side".
But Jack had something that no one else had, his compass.
After a long time navigating to where his compass was pointing, Jack finally comes to see a strange green light on the horizon.
Without a second thought, Jack heads for the horizon where the light was.
Once he arrives, the Black Pearl along with him enters a dark sea where nothing can be seen or heard.
Jack spends a long time sailing through this sea.
He kept sailing in the direction his compass was pointing.
All he could do was follow that path. He didn't know what it pointed to, or where he was going, but all he knew was that this was his chance to escape.
He sailed through the dark and silent sea, not knowing where he was.
He sailed on for a long time, he no longer knew how many hours, days, weeks, months, or years had passed, the last thing Jack Sparrow remembered was that this was his only chance for freedom.
Now, he was in the dark, sailing to wherever he had to go according to his compass.
All Jack could feel was tiredness, loneliness, and worst of all, he was running out of time.
Little by little he felt how over time his body was undergoing small changes, he was not getting older, on the contrary, he was getting younger over time.
At first, Jack was happy to notice that this infinite sea had such a convenient effect.
But after a while he began to panic as he realized how fast he was getting younger, if this continued any longer, he would simply cease to exist, he would become nothing.
"Oh, bloody hell!!!" he hissed.
"Well..., disappearing can't be so bad.... well ... it can't be much worse than Davy Jones' Locker. Unless..." he paused and thought for a moment before continuing.
"Unless I am already dead, and this must be the Locker ... or hell. If I'm dead now, what am I supposed to do from here? And also,.... why keep rejuvenating myself until I disappear if I'm already dead..... Unless that's some punishment, a way to torture me for eternity?"
Jack estimated that by now he must have rejuvenated to 20 years old and that scared him because he knew that if he kept it up he would disappear into this sea forever.
His heart was beating fast and sweat was dripping down his face. His mind was tired and he felt like giving up many times, but he didn't let it happen and kept sailing all this time without losing his way.
But he already felt as if this sea had no end, he was exhausted.
Jack was staring at an object in his hand while shaking it wildly. "Come on, you better works piece of..."
"Oh, to hell with it, it's no use."
Jack lay down for a few moments on the floor of the Pearl and as he began to close his eyes to rest for just a few seconds, he felt a very strong breeze of wind, then loud banging noises and after a while, the whole Pearl began to shake.
Jack quickly opened his eyes and looked up to see the sky still dark, but now there was a change and it was that the sea was no longer calm and quiet, on the contrary, the weather was stormy, there were hurricanes and big waves that threatened to overturn the Pearl.
Jack was undoubtedly in very dangerous water.
Then he saw a small light from afar, like a light at the end of the endless darkness of this sea.
"Hmm, Aye...looks like I may have ended up finding my way out," Jack said to himself with a smile as he saw that the compass was pointing in the direction of this light.
He didn't care about the danger he was in, just the thought of finally being able to escape was all that occupied his mind.
And it was for that very reason that Jack did not see the three giant figures standing in the darkness, these were large enough to dwarf an entire island.
Jack began to skillfully maneuver the Black Pearl against all odds.
It almost seemed as if the wind and sea wanted to overturn and sink the Pearl at all costs along with Jack before they reached the light, as the constant pounding of the waves and wind only grew louder and louder as he got closer.
"Yay. Another thing trying to kill me," Jack mutters as he rolls his eyes and continues to guide the Pearl through the darkness, towards the light.
Then he begins to feel a strange sensation inside him, though he couldn't tell how close or far away it was. Jack could now feel that he was going to make it.
The feeling he had was getting stronger and stronger the closer he got to the light.
Slowly the light began to appear closer and closer, and all Jack could hear was his heart beating out of his chest.
He was going to make it, he was going to escape, he was so close already, he would finally return to the world of the living.
His hands did not leave the helm, no matter the wind or the wave that hit the Pearl, Jack did not move from his place and kept sailing towards the light that appeared closer ... and closer ... and closer ... and closer.
Until in a moment, his entire vision was completely enveloped in bright light as he sailed through it.
Jack closed his eyes tightly against the intensity of the light as he remained glued to the helm navigating.
When Jack opened his eyes and saw the glint of the sun, the blue sky, the blue sea, he knew he was finally out, he was back, finally escaped.
"I can finally feel it, the wind, the sea breeze, Oh how I missed it..... Aye, now I just need a little bit of rum," he said as he felt every little sensation he missed so much.
"Alright, first something to eat," he said to himself before sailing on, Jack was now feeling very hungry and he doubted that there was anything on the Black Pearl, well maybe peanuts.
After searching all over the Black Pearl, Jack couldn't find a single miserable crumb.
Suddenly he kicked something in front of him.
He turned to see what it was and looked at what he had stumbled upon.
It was a strange strawberry-shaped almost transparent light blue fruit that had strange swirling pattern markings on it.
Jack picks up the strange fruit from the ground and stares at it.
"An exotic fruit?" Jack hesitantly took the strawberry-shaped fruit into his mouth and licked it looking for any inconsistencies.
He savored it for a few seconds.
"Hmm, must have come with the tide, well, good for me" seeing that the fruit didn't seem to have anything wrong with it he ended up popping the strawberry into his mouth.
Jack took a big bite swallowing the strawberry whole.
After doing this he quickly regretted it, the taste was indescribable, you could tell by Jack's livid face.
"Oh, Bloody poison!" he tried to spit out what he had already eaten.
"Disgusting!" he complained trying to clean his tongue to get that horrendous taste out of his mouth.
