Chapter 1: Arrival in Port Royal
Port Royal was a city of contradictions — a glittering jewel on the edge of the Caribbean, where the ocean kissed the shores with gentle waves but the streets ran thick with the sweat and desperation of those who called it home. Its wooden docks creaked under the weight of merchant ships and pirate vessels alike, while the salty breeze carried the scent of gunpowder, rum, and seaweed.
The city was alive, but only barely. Beneath the veneer of tavern laughter and sailors' shouts lay a brutal truth: survival was a daily battle. The rich flaunted their wealth behind carved doors, while the poor clawed at the dirt in narrow alleys, their eyes hollow from hunger and hard years.
Elias Drake knew this world well. For ten years, Port Royal had been both prison and battleground — the place the sea had spat him out after a violent storm shattered the ship he once called home. Since then, he had learned the cold rules of the city: trust no one, ask for nothing, take what you must.
His clothes were nothing more than rags, and his hands bore the scars of many fights. But his eyes — deep and dark — held a spark that refused to die. They darted constantly, measuring the crowds, searching for opportunity.
Life for Elias was simple: survive by any means necessary. He had long ago stopped hoping for mercy from anyone. Food was stolen from open market stalls or slipped from pockets; water was quenched from dripping gutters or swiped from tavern kitchens. At night, he found refuge in forgotten corners or beneath the creaking hulls of abandoned ships.
But it was the sea he loved most — the wild, untamed expanse where freedom whispered on the wind and laws meant nothing. He dreamed of piracy and adventure, of a life unshackled from hunger and fear.
And then, on this scorching morning, something new arrived — a man with tangled hair, a swagger in his step, and a glint in his eye that promised mischief and madness.

Jack Sparrow stepped off the small rowboat that had brought him to Port Royal. His boots hit the cobblestones with a careless confidence, as if the ground itself owed him a debt. His coat, worn and patched, billowed slightly in the salty breeze, and his infamous compass hung heavy at his waist, a curious device that always pointed toward what he wanted most.
The city's inhabitants barely spared him a glance—Port Royal had seen too many sailors and pirates to be impressed easily. But Jack's eyes twinkled with amusement. He was a man who thrived on chaos, and this crowded port was the perfect stage.
As he made his way through the bustling streets, Jack's gaze flicked from market stalls piled high with exotic fruits to grizzled sailors swapping tales over barrels of rum. The noise was a cacophony — haggling vendors, clanging smiths, barking dogs — but beneath it all, a tension simmered.
Jack's swagger slowed for a moment as he noticed the eyes that followed him — wary, calculating. He smiled, a crooked grin that promised trouble.
Unbeknownst to him, hidden in the shadows of a narrow alleyway, Elias watched with sharp interest. The stranger was unlike any man Elias had seen — bold, flamboyant, and dangerously confident. He could smell the coins jingling in that coat, the rum waiting to be drunk, the freedom begging to be stolen.
Elias's mind raced. This man was a walking treasure chest — and Elias had just decided he was going to relieve him of at least one prized possession.

As Jack turned a corner, Elias sprang into action. Like a fox slipping through the underbrush, he darted forward, faster than the eye could follow. With a swift push, he knocked Jack to the ground, sending him sprawling onto the dusty stones.
Jack's eyes widened in surprise, but his grin only grew wider.
"Well now, you've got some spirit, don't you?" he laughed, struggling to his feet.
Elias didn't wait for a reply. He darted away, clutching something shiny in his hand — Jack's compass.
Behind him, Jack groaned and scrambled after the boy, shouting, "Oi! Come back here, you little fox!"
The streets blurred past as Jack ran, weaving through startled merchants and shouting sailors. But Elias was already disappearing into the crowd, a shadow among shadows.

Elias's heart pounded fiercely — half from the thrill, half from the fear. He paused just long enough to look back, seeing Jack's frustrated figure weaving through the crowds behind him.
"Good luck catching me," Elias muttered to himself with a sly grin.
He ducked into a narrow alley and pressed himself against the wall, breath heavy but eyes bright. The compass gleamed faintly in his palm, a prize heavier with meaning than gold.
For the first time in a long while, Elias felt the stirrings of hope — or perhaps, destiny.
