The Black Pearl sailed into the island's harbor. Its captain was smiling confidently at the wheel. In only a few minutes immortality would be his. And without the added complication of removing his heart. Jack regretted sharing his immortality with the rest of his crew, but he had to get here somehow. The crew stumbled onto the shore and hacked their way through the undergrowth of the forested island. "Stop!" shouted Jack. His compass pointed directly at the pool of water before them.

"So it's true!" exclaimed Gibbs

"The Aqua de Vida," whispered Elizabeth.

"Aye mates!" said Jack, "It appears we have stumbled upon the legendary Fountain of Youth!" Everyone's eyes widened. No one even thought to mention the supposed curse on the magical waters. Jack stepped forward and scooped some water into his hand. He put it to his lips and drank. Then he dropped to the ground, unconscious.

"Jack!" shouted Gibbs. The sky was growing darker. The sinister, familiar voice of Calypso rang in their ears as clouds swirled around them and the wind began to blow furiously.

"You have been warned about the curse of the Aqua de Vida!" she bellowed. "And now, you shall take the punishment!" there was a bright flash of light and everything went still.
