Killian, reminded by Lewis that the real Liam was courageous enough to brave any unknown waters, finally accepts the illusion is not his brother. Too afraid there are more monsters at sea, Liam refuses and asks Killian to put off sailing out of the shoals in order to save him. This causes Liam's ship to catch fire, so Killian presses him to jump into the water so they can haul him onto the Jolly Roger. To escape the shoals, the Jolly Roger sails towards Leviathan as Liam, from his own ship, defeats the creature with dynamite blasts. Lewis suggests Liam is a hallucination made by the mist, but Killian continues to be blind to the truth. Below deck, Liam tells Killian how he survived and about the great sea creature, Leviathan, who refuses anyone to leave the shoals. Reaching safety, the crew begin fixing the damaged vessel when another ship, carrying an alive Liam, arrives. Lewis warns the mist causes hallucinations, but Killian is unconcerned about the risk. Through spyglass, he and Killian spot calmer waters surrounded by green mist in the distance that they recognize as the Leviathan Shoals. Although the helmsman, Lewis, manages to steady the vessel, the ship begins to flood. (" Good Form")ĭuring a journey to the Southern Isles, the Jolly Roger is caught in a vicious storm. Fueled by anger and a sense of justice, he convinces the crew to renounce the king by telling them the truth, and they all take on the life of pirates while the Jewel of the Realm is renamed the Jolly Roger. Once out of Neverland's waters, Liam dies a fatal death as the price of leaving, and Killian later buries him at sea. Liam is healed and they begin sailing home with intentions of exposing their king's cruel ways. Killian is allowed access to healing water by Pan but is urged against leaving the island if he and his brother can't pay the price. Liam purposely cuts himself with a branch of Dreamshade and he passes out from the spreading poison. They meet a boy named Peter Pan who warns them that Dreamshade is poisonous, but Liam doesn't listen while Killian is beginning to have doubts. The two brothers arrive at the island of Neverland and take a rowboat to shore. Once it is fully uncovered, the ship, powered by the Pegasus feathers, lifts up off from the ocean's waters and into the skies. To make a hasty escape, Liam orders for the Pegasus sail to be unveiled. During the trip at sea, the crew's lives are endangered when they are attacked by two ships from behind. For the journey, Liam brings Killian along with him. Along with this duty, he is given a sextant for celestial navigation, star charts for a path to the island and back, and a large sail made of Pegasus feathers. On orders of the king, Liam prepares to sail the Jewel of the Realm to a distant island, to procure a medical plant, Dreamshade, which is rumored to heal all wounds. The captain promptly makes Liam captain of a ship, Jewel of the Realm, while Killian will become its lieutenant. Upon reaching the shoreline, Liam presents the jewel to a captain, but instead of a reward in riches from the king, he asks for a naval commission. Those perks helped make piracy kind of a lucrative career path, which explains why so many guys were keen to sign up.After making a certain deal with the Underworld lord Hades, Liam agrees to sink the ship he is on, killing everyone on board except himself and his brother Killian, in exchange for the Eye of the Storm. And matters affecting the whole crew were usually held to a vote, and that included the election of a new captain if everyone wasn't crazy about the status quo. The captain had most of the authority, but there was a quartermaster whose job it was to hand down punishment. Pirate democracies even had checks and balances. According to Mental Floss, a lot of pirates were escaped slaves or the formerly impoverished who were used to living in societies where the rules were skewed against them, and it would've been tough to convince men like that to join up if they thought that's how it would be for them on board. Now, before you form a mental picture of pirates as civilized plunderers in curly white wigs, they were still outlaws who murdered and stole for a living, but on their own ships, they had ordered societies where each man had a voice and everything was distributed fairly.
