Unknown island, unknown me ?
The feeling of smooth grains of sand on his body was very comfortable. But unfortunately the sun has no intention of letting him catch up to his missed nap time last night. Last night Jack had tasted one of the finest rums of his life. But he couldn't remember the incidents after that. It was strange because his memories usually sharpens when he is drunk.
"Stupid sun !" Jack muttered as he did his best to cover up his eyes with his hands. Unfortunately the glare of the Sun was too much for his palm to handle.
"Fuck !...." Jack cursed as he woke up from his sleep. But then he realized something…. His voice has changed. It was not as low pitched as it used to be.
"What happened to my voice ?" Speaking again, Jack realised that his voice had changed. It sounded like the voice of a young boy rather than a grown up man. This crisis immediately focused his attention as he stood up on his position. Looking at his hands and body, he found them smaller. They were nothing like the hands of a pirate who has lived and fought through countless battles. Not to mention he found his height shorter than before. He was wearing the same white shirt and brown pants as last night. But they were bigger than his original size.
"I am shorter now. After searching all the pockets in his pants, his eyes widened in shock when his hands brushed through the cover of a very familiar compass. Jack quickly took out the thing his fingers found inside the pocket of his pants. To his surprise, it was 'the compass'.
Jack's breath quickened as he fell back on his ass.
But after quickly getting up he inspected the compass thoroughly.
"Hmph ! You couldn't stay away from me ?" As soon as Jack spoke again, his new voice struck a chord. He scrambled off to his feet and looked around him. In front of him was a vast sea. But the strangest thing was, there was wind or any type of waves. The sea was completely calm.
Behind him was a dense forest. With trees so big that it was unbelievable.
"Did I get caught up in some kind of black magic of some evil witch ? Or am I simply dreaming from that extravagant rum ? For a moment, Jack thought that the things in front of him were completely unreal. Then he noticed something shining near one of the trees in the border of the forest.
As the curious pirate he was, Jack immediately went towards the shining object.
"A mirror ?..... Now I am sure I am definitely dreaming !" As soon as Jack appeared in front of the mirror he saw his younger self. It was him as a 12 years old boy. His long unruly hair was falling behind his back. His beard had disappeared and his skin was less tanned than before. And most importantly he was short and skinny.
Jack pinched his cheek in front of the mirror just to feel the stinging sensation of reality.
"What kind of joke is this ? The great Captain Jack Sparrow has been reduced to just a child…. *Sigh*" Jack sighed to himself. But then he noticed something shining behind his oversized shirt. Unbuttoning the first few buttons of his shirt he found a necklace made of silver hanging around his neck.
"Jack D Sparrow ? Is this supposed to be my new name ? And what is this 'D' stands for ? Dangerous ? Dirty ?....
Hmmmm... but I have to admit, there is a nice ring to this name…. Jack D Sparrow !" Jack smirked at the new name he had found to use. Then looking back at the mirror he also noticed something lying behind it. The mirror was exceptionally big. But behind it, there were three objects.
His hat, a one handed sword and a pistol with a single bullet.
Seeing these objects, Jack sighed again.
"If this is a prank then this is not funny….. Let's figure things out first."
…
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh ! What the hell is with this boar ! It is almost as big as the kraken ?" Jack ran for his dear life while screaming his lungs out. He didn't know that he was this unlucky. He hadn't even taken the 10th step inside the forest when the boar caught him. And now he was getting chased by this giant boar all over the place. While trying to not be the boar dinner, Jack had also noticed that, despite his small frame and skinny body he was very fast and twice as strong as his previous adult self. But this advantage was nothing compared to his disadvantage. "Damn you, stupid compass ! Have you finally gone
senile ? Stop pointing at the boar ! That thing is huge ! Someone help !" Jack screamed again as he dodged to the side of the boar and jumped towards a vine, coming from a big tree.
Unfortunately for him, the vine turned out to be the tale of a huge snake.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh !"
.
.
.
"Is this the end ?" Jack found himself standing in front of a massive mountain. The mountain was so stiff that climbing it was impossible. And behind him was the boar, which has been chasing him ever since he has entered the forest. The forest was full of huge creatures. The boar was the biggest piece of meat he had seen. But even normal bugs are at least 10 times bigger than what they usually should look like. For example palm sized ants and dog sized rats. He wondered if he has reached some kind of fairy tale land where everything is bigger than their normal self. If that is correct then Jack could have liked to see if the island has any people. Especially if any giant women.
Unfortunately he has reached a dead end. The boar has been chasing after him consistently. It hasn't given him any chance to rest. So after a long agonizing chase in the forest, his luck has run away.
Jack slowly turned to face the boar. Taking out his compass, it still pointed at the boar. As if fighting it was the only option to escape. Jack didn't have any big firearms to be confident. But he was Captain Jack Sparrow. He was Jack D Sparrow….
"Alright stupid boar ! Let's see though you are ...."
