Her Captain, however, knew this was not her intention, nor his own.

- beautiful, and its only ashame that Barbossa got her for near ten years to turn her pirating ventures into ones of killing and death

*

Pure and simple.

- not quite so simple though

*

and you've done research, very cool. props to you! *raises tankard*

*

and Jack's heart ached at the thought of her mistreatment for those ten long years.

- lol. following my thought train

*

No doubt he thought it was bad luck to be singin' about Sirens aboard ship.

- bless Gibbs, his warnings must have saved them once or twice

*

Now, Captain Jack Sparrow admitted that he may be a bit daft, but he wasn't downright loony

- lol. thats always a comforting thought when in charge of a ship. hehe, but who wouldnt sail under the 'infamous' Captain Jack Sparrow?

*

oh! the tale of how he got the compass. huzzah!

*

The most important being that he hadn't actually been the infamous pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, when it had occurred.

- hehehe, wow, two in one review. use of the word infamous. lol. and the story gets even more interesting...

*

The tales were bilge water, of course, but fine tales non-the-less.

- as all stories are, not bilge water of course, but fine tales to be heard. the truth is always slightly less dramatic... tsk tsk

*

He'd succumbed to the sea and the darkness of death not long after.

- w-what? *sputters on gulp of rum* darkness of death?

*

His only regret was that his newly wedded wife

- a surprise a minute! newly wedded wife?

*

For no man truly wanted to die alone.

- a truer phrase i have yet to hear

*

wow, the woman's more brautiful than i'd imagined. and the song she sings is wonderfully thouht and written out. as I've said before, I find it difficult to find stories that match yours

*

I'd be much obliged to acquiesce to your request, luv

- awesome! lol. ahem, proving that Barbossa and he were a wee bit closer than spectaters like to realize, eh?

*

"What ails thee?"

- um, well, the bullet wound might have something to do with it. just a guess. lol

*

He thought the large hole in his chest was rather obvious.

- lmao!

*

Commodore Dylan Jackson Laraine,"

- COMMODORE? He's with the- Navy? the bloody Royal Navy? *eyes wide, faints*

*

To be continued, damn it. lol. I'll certainly be watching for updates. this is a GREAT story! First he had a wife, then he's a commodore, oh wow. still getting over that one. lol.

I know I already reviewed this over at Black_Pearl_Sails but I thought I would here as well just to say... A long adventure PLEASE?

Great start.

FalconWing.

I really enjoyed this chapter, please continue on. Great start, i loved the siren character, it seems fitting she would find Jack beautiful. it was also very nice the way he is reborn from death like a phoenix. Can't wait for the next chapter

Wow! This sounds like its gonna be really good. I think its a real cool story line. I hope you continue it. YOur an awesome writer. So keep up the good work.

Wow, this looks to be a brilliant story in the making. Completely unique - which is so hard to find these days! - and very well characterised. Excellent transition from present to flashback, and without having to subtitle it like so many others seem inclined to! I applaud you. _ Heh, anyway, I especially liked how much of Jack's personality and past you seemed to weave in so subtly, and I eagerly await more soon. There will be more, right

Talamh

Long adventure! Long adventure! Goodness me, this was splendid! :-D I am so thrilled to see you are writing a POTC story! Welcome to the fold! And why shouldn't I be thrilled? You've already enthralled me with your OUATIM one, why not this one too? ;-) This was pure fun to read, filled with wonderful doses of angst, humor, mystery, adventure and the supernatural. Everything that makes a story grand. :-D I sincerely hope you keep at it and yes, I would like a...long adventure! :-D

-Merrie

Well this definitely has potential. I would love to read more about this.
