Jem had already discussed the plan, with his friends. They had come to a mutual agreement, that Jack would be made the captain of Queen Anne’s Revenge, in return for his support against the centaurs. So with the bunch of keys, they collected from the drunk guard, they all stepped out of the cellar.

The real mutiny had just begun.

Jem didn’t know how, but Jack knew the ship, like the back of his hand. Although Will suspected that it might be because he was made to clean the entire ship by himself before they arrived.

According to Jack, Blackbeard had so far avoided capture by Jones, with the help of an artifact, which gave him control over these waters.  Although nobody on the ship knew where the artifact was.

According to the plan, Jack and Jem were supposed to go to the captain’s cabin, where Jack suspected Blackbeard would keep his most precious item. Beth and Ana were elected to stay above deck and warn them, if they saw any pirates coming in their direction. The rest of the boys decided to sweep the armory, to destroy the weapons, and pick a handful for themselves.

Entering the armory will not be an easy task. Jack said two pirates always guarded the armory, and I don’t think we’re will be that much lucky to find the guards in a drunken state. Most of all I am worried about Nil and Nelinha. I have read in stories that centaurs are ruthless creatures and also man-eaters. I just hope they have turned Nil into roasted Nil. Although I doubt he would taste good. He would taste more like roasted seaweed.

Nevertheless, we trudged forward, Alex and Will by my side. Jack had given us the directions to the armory. He said that the armory had a red-colored door. However, on reaching the spot, we discovered that there were two red colored doors, and entering the wrong one might just cause the whole plan to fail.

After deciding among ourselves we decided to open the left door.

Muttering the name of god we entered the left room…
