Chapter Six
Chapter Six
Over the next four days James went before the mirror and tried to go back through. Still with no success. James woke up early on the fifth day and he was just getting ready to go and try again when he saw black sails on the horizon. He paused for a moment wondering. Standing his ground he waited to see if the ship would approach the island. Within a few minutes his suspicions were confirmed as the Black Pearl weighed anchor and a long boat headed toward the island shoreline. When the longboat was about midway from the ship to the island the pirate toward the back became clear. James had to close his eyes for a moment.
The pain was still too fresh and unless he wanted to make a fool out of himself he needed to put up the masks he’d used for years. By the time the longboat reached the shore he had himself composed. Needless to say Jack was surprised to see Commodore Norrington on the island. After a brief conversation, in which James described how he ended up on the island in the first place, the crew went in search of supplies. A search that really didn't require them searching at all as James knew just were they could restock. Even knowing that they would need water he still felt hesitant to take them to the waterfall. In the end though his common sense won out over his hesitation. If they needed water it was the only fresh water source on the island.
The pirates were thoroughly enjoying the stream and James had just started to relax when Jack asked something that made him freeze. “What was that.” The pirate captain was looking toward the waterfall. Obviously he’d seen the mirror, but as everyone else seemed confused, it could be concluded that no one else had noticed. Jack started to head toward the cave with Gibbs in tow. The older pirate looked nervous but James could tell that he was also excited at the prospect of another story to add to his mental collection. James followed the two silently. It wasn't out of curiosity, but the blind fear that they would see what James had seen in the mirror.
The image of him spread out for Jack was arousing in private. It would, however, be mortifying if the others saw him in such a position. As they entered the cave Jack stopped in front of the mirror and looked at it quizzically for a few moments before his eyes widened. “Oy! Gibbs, man. Do ye know what this is?” The older pirate just shook his head so Jack continued to explain. “It’s the mirror of Elsar.”
At this Gibbs’s eyes grew as wide as saucers. “Are ye sure Jack. No ones seen it fer centuries.” Jack nodded his head his arms weaving slightly. “Positive. I’ve read over it’s description time and time again. Since I was a lad I’d heard of pirate captains searching fer this mirror.” Not being able to contain his curiosity any longer James finally asked “What is the mirror of Elsar.” Jack gave him an owlish look before saying “Why Commodore luv, it’s a mirror.”
Falling easily into old habits James felt his eyes narrow, his teeth grit, and with a delicate sneer stated the obvious. “I know Ja…Sparrow that it’s a mirror. I mean what is so special about it.” Jack’s expression quickly turned from owlish to confused when he heard James’s slip-up. Thankfully he was rescued from having to explain by Gibbs. The other pirate took that moment to impart his knowledge to James.
“It’s said that this mirror belonged to a noble King, King Elsar, centuries ago. For many years his kingdom was torn apart by war but through it all his knights remained loyal. When the great battles finally ended the King went to a kind sorceress and asked her for a gift for his men. He wanted something that would bring them happiness for all of the years of hardship. After three months he was presented with a mirror. The sorceress explained that all his men need do was to touch the mirror’s surface and it would show them images of their near future. So if the image was one of pain they could take steps to avoid that outcome. And on the reverse if the image was one of happiness then they could take steps to ensure it’s outcome.
The mirror worked for King Elsar’s knights but it hasn't been known to work since. Many believe that it’s because the mirror was only meant for Elsar’s men, but there are others who believe the reason it doesn't work is the one using the mirror isn’t worthy. The mirror was meant to be used by only the most honorable of men and the majority of those that seek it are pirates.” Everyone grew silent lost for a moment in their own thoughts. For his own part James felt as though he was going to be torn apart from all of his racing thoughts. His mind quickly thought of the date on the calendar from one of the visions. From there it was easy to figure out that if Gibbs was correct then that meant he would eventually end up with Jack. There were no tricks being played, no mind games, or someone wanting to torment him with a version of himself that could be loved.
If this was all true then that meant there was no duplicate to receive such affection, but only him, only James. That realization almost completely tore down all of his carefully constructed walls and he felt his legs wobble with the strain of keeping himself from collapsing to his knees. Even then he had to keep his face to the ground as he felt moisture gather in his eyes. Images suddenly flashed across his memory. The gentle touches of Jack’s hands. The way he would bury his nose in his hair as if trying to imprint James’ scent to memory, the look of adoration on Jack’s face after they made love, and the softly whispered words he’d been waiting to hear his whole life. “So Captn’ Jack. Are ye goin’ to try out the mirror. Ye may be a pirate, but you’re the most honorable pirate in the Caribbean.”
