The Legend of Rose Hexfury - The Distant Horizon

Summary:

Part 5 of the story of Rose Hexfury, the half-sister of Jack Sparrow, pupil of Tia Dalma, and daughter of Captain Teague. This is her untold story; all the times you never saw her, all the interactions she had with the characters you remember, and the impact you never knew she made, all told by a still unknown character who wishes to document her importance.

Rose and Elizabeth have together picked up the pieces after the War on Piracy, working to establish a pirate safe haven on Shipwreck Island. Though a new birth brings great joy, Rose finds herself restless at being land bound. When a powerful enemy resurfaces with an even greater threat at their side, Rose's life turns upside down, and she finds herself with more powers than she ever thought possible, and readies herself for the deliverance of a long-awaited prophecy.

Notes:

Hello! You've reached the final chapter of Rose's story, though there is a Part 6 spinoff story...and if I say more, I'll give it away, so I'll leave it at that.

This section is also a favorite of mine. It doesn't cover any particular film, though the events of "On Stranger Tides" occur simultaneously elsewhere, and you might see a few familiar faces in that movie appear here as well!

Enjoy! Pirate's life!

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

This hasn’t been an easy job, I’ll have you know. 

Write the history of a woman who has gone unnoted. Study the accounts of her past in relation to the histories of Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Edward Teague, Calypso, King Elizabeth Turner and Captain Will Turner. It’s no easy task. Thankfully, I have a copious amount of resources to help me tell the tale with the greatest amount of accuracy. 

Rose Hexfury has been documented. That’s all that matters now. 

We now approach the end of Rose’s story, and now that I’m in these final chapters, I wish to recant how I have organized her story up to this point. I have decided to break apart Rose’s history in three main portions based on Rose herself. Part the first was when she was powerless, at the mercy of others, and was just learning to discover who she was. Part the second was about how she lost everything and through her failures, began to discover the scope of her power. We begin now on part the third and final portion of her story, which is something else entirely. I simply like to call this portion, “Powerful.”  You will now discover what became of Rose Hexfury, the captive gypsy girl who was prophesied to one day hold more power than any man could dream of possessing.

Lastly, have you forgotten about me? Your narrator, the one recanting the legend of Rose Hexfury? I told you at the beginning of my ledger that I was to come into play at the end of this saga, and I have not forgotten that promise. 

 

I will return.
