Poem
Legend Of The Black Dove (Part 12) "Terminal Paradox" The story so far....Norrington and Jenkins board a ship they eventually set sail back to England. On their way back the ship is caught in strange fog, which transports them into the future, then to the past, and finally back to their present, and they are back home. Everything seems normal but for the fact it is one day prior to the coach tragedy. Norrington prepares to alter the events that would follow, but being a passenger on the fateful coach he must act quickly now. As the outlaws are coming closer to the coach with their guns drawn Jack Wild cries to the passengers to get out of the coach, Norrington leaps out the coach and jumps onto Jack Wild. The other outlaws fire at Norrington. He falls to the ground and lies there lifeless. While the outlaws chase after the stagecoach to capture its passengers, the King's guards approach from the opposite side and give help to Norrington. who regains strength, then disguised as the Black Dove chases the runaway coach. He has very little time now for stopping the coach. Climbing on top of his horse he takes a leap and descends on the roof of the coach, which is now rounding the bend and heading for the edge of the cliff. He applies a hand brake and flames leap up from the wheels. The steering connection to the horses snaps up and the coach grinds to a halt. The Black Dove climbs down to check on the passengers. Finding his wife Beth alive he smiles at her, then collapses to the ground. She climbs out of the coach. Lifting his mask she sees in amazement that the man was her husband John. She kisses him and asks, why he is wearing this outfit, he tells her that he is the Black Dove he wanted to prevent the tragedy from occurring again. Then he dies and disappears right before her eyes, Beth is in tears kneeling on the ground. Moments later John Norrington materialises inside the coach, wondering where he had been. Beth turns round and discovers her man is alive, but how can this be? She is beside herself with joy as they succeed in repairing the coach and continue their journey to Cornwall. The Black Dove had served his purpose: by saving his friends he had created a new timeline which never included the heroic Black Dove, as in this timeline the Black Dove has never really existed. THE END
