The Sacking of Port Royal
by TortugaBlack

INTRODUCTION

"---You can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that someday."
-Jack Sparrow, Captain of the Black Pearl

In the weeks since pirate Captain Jack Sparrow escaped execution, Will Turner finds nightmares have replaced his dreams of a happy ending as the full, terrible implications of lifting the Aztec curse at the 'opportune moment' is revealed. While the young blacksmith struggles with his unexpected heritage as a pirate's son, the love of his life, Elizabeth Swann, fights the chains of social prejudice in a futile attempt to hold on to their dream of a life together.

Jack Sparrow's wily trick forces Will to acknowledge a debt owed and pulls the son of Bootstrap Bill into the dangerous intrigues of two pirate captains, one bent on revenge and the other with a promise of his own to fulfill. As battle, treachery, and a deadly duel loom, Will Turner at last must "square with the pirate in his blood". In so doing, he will find himself walking the narrow line between pirate and law-bidding citizen, can he retain his balance or will he be pulled into his father's footsteps? For Elizabeth, it's an all out war to keep the man she loves from falling under the spell of the sea and one Captain Jack Sparrow who would like to replace the friendship and camaraderie of the father, with that of the son. Lurking in the background, Commodore Norrington waits to spring a deadly surprise that could dash the hopes and dreams of them all….and it ALL happens during the sacking of Port Royal….
