AWE: Turners on the Dutchman
Aug. 17th, 2007 09:26 amAfter the Endeavour is destroyed, the fight goes out of the East India fleet, and those that don't flee are quickly brought down by the combined might of the Flying Dutchman, The Black Pearl and a combined fleet of ruthless pirates with nothing to lose.
After the short battle, most of the victorious fleet returns to Shipwreck Cove for celebration and rejoicing. All that remains are two ships, one with black sails and one with white, fresh from the corrupting influence of their last captain's curse. The two sail onward together in perfect parallel, lovers proceeding down the aisle from the alter.
And the human lovers are there too, standing at the rail of their respective vessels, gazing across the ocean between the ships. Captains William and Elizabeth Turner are separated by mere dozens of yards. But for each of them, the other might as well be a world away.
