Sargasso Sea, 1705
Blackbeard's course took him out of the Caribbean and deep into the Sargasso Sea. The sea itself was a mystery to man and many sailors avoided the region often times sailing days out of their way.
It is here where reports of ships lost at sea never to return. Those that are fortunate enough to survive come back with tales of sea monsters and death.
It was also here that he could summon forth Davy Jones from his watery prison. The power of the
Demon Lord
rested in the chest in Blackbeard's hands. A power no demon would resist, but one he would have to. At least for now.
Once the
Queen Anne's Revenge
reached the center of the sea he ordered the sails to be dropped. The crew did as ordered and when completed with their work they gathered around on the deck in anticipation.
Each demon aboard the ship followed Blackbeard loyally and would follow his course. But there was one that even though he was loyal, he dared question his captain and master's intentions: Henry Morgan.

Morgan was quick to claim.
Yet ye dare tell me what ye think I do not know already!
Blackbeard exclaimed.
Ye be best to hold yer tongue or ye'll be seeing the brig real soon.
Blackbeard turned from his first mate and held the medallion up high into the air.
I summon ye keeper of the Locker! I bring ye forth to do me bidding!
The wind with its steady cool breeze suddenly stopped. The skies began forming dark clouds. They spread throughout the sky covering it in mere seconds. A wind brushed against the sea making it form swells. The sea lapped against the
Queen Anne's Revenge
like a thirsty dog. The ship started to rock.
As quickly as the clouds came on, they disappeared. The seas calmed and were followed by eerie silence by the crew. From the bow water spurted into the air and a massive ship burst out, splashing down onto the water.
The ship was larger than Blackbeard's and though he never had seen the
