| abstract | - The Jungle Pools were pools in the jungle on an island in the Caribbean. Here, mermaids were cruelly staked, bound, and harvested for their tears, so that immortality seekers could perform the ritual for the Fountain of Youth. Twisted skeletal remains seen among the pools reveal the many pitiless murders already committed here, where mermaids were left to die by their captors. The pools had played a pivotal role during the quest for the Fountain of Youth. During the quest, Blackbeard was able to get a tear from Syrena, whom he left to die at the pools until she was rescued by Philip Swift. Using the pools to briefly escape, Syrena returned to help a fatally wounded Philip.
