Calypso's lover
Hundreds of years ago a young man named Davy Jones fell in love with a beautiful Goddess. Little did he know that his love for the Goddess Calypso would grant him an everlasting life and a horrifying curse that would live with him for the rest of his days. Davy Jones and the Goddess Calypso's tragic love story.
On the Black Dagger Ship:
"Sir! Up ahead!!" a lone crew member shouted. The man looked like hell frozen over. His whole body was completely frozen like he had just walked into a ice box. His hands and feet were frozen together so he had little movement. Quickly, he hobbled to the back of the ship, frantic to find the captain.
"Captain! Up ahead! It's a giant waterfall! If we don't turn around now, we will die!" his words came tumbling out like filthy water, fear laced on his voice. The captain merely laughed at the mans fear.
"For certain you must be good and lost to find the things that can't be found." The captain stated turning and walking towards the front of the ship. "Ah, yes. We've made it."
All of a sudden the ship caught into the waterfalls strong currents. The ship tore towards the waterfall as quick as a bullet. Crew members screamed and jumped for the ropes, trying to turn the ship away from the waterfall. All hope was futile to get away from a certain demise. The crew seemed to realize this because they stopped trying to turn the ship. They simply stared dumbfounded at the waterfalls edge.
One crew member turned and looked towards the captain with a look of hate in his eyes. "I know what this suicide attempt is for! Your trying to reach the land of the dead! After all Calypso told you about how dangerous it was, you, Davy Jones, the master of the sea, had to try and make it there and back. You're a fool and you will kill us all."
Davy Jones just laughed. His laughter cut threw the loud noise of the current. Without any notice, the ship flew over the edge of the waterfall and tumbled down. Davy Jones laughter was all that could be heard until with a crash, the ship crashed into the frothy water below.
A few months earlier:
The Black Dagger Ship was a sight for sore eyes for Davy Jones. After spending weeks searching for the map to Calypso's cave it was finally in his grasp. Jones stared at it with a hungry look in his eyes. It was well known that Calypso was the ruler of the seas. If he could just make it to her cave he could find the secret to immortality.
Davy Jones turned to his crew and started barking orders. The crew worked like a well oiled machine, every little detail preformed perfectly. Jones walked to the front of the ship pulling out his map. With steady hands, he carefully marked the course they would have to travel to find Calypso's cave.
After miles of traveling on the steady sea, a huge mountain was seen up ahead.
"Sir, up ahead!" one burly pirate shouted from the front of the ship. There was a flask attached to his hip and he swirled and hobbled as he walked. The captain, Davy Jones, stared at the mountain with a greedy look in his eyes.
"Great. Now, when we get close enough, I'm going to go inside while you all watch the ship. When I get back, I will tell you what we shall plan to do next." With that, Davy Jones walked away from his crew to stand at the front of the ship and stair dreamily at the mountain.
The crew members all looked at each other suspiciously. "I wonder what master scheme the captain is up to now." the drunk pirate asked the others.
"Whatever it is, I trust him." Another pirate stated from beside the first. Others nodded their heads in agreement. No matter where Davy Jones led them, his crews lives were the most important thing to him.
Almost within moments it seemed the Black Dagger ship was right beside the great mountain. From this close the entrance to Calypso's cave was very evident. With steady movements, the crew guided the ship into the cave. Once inside the ship jerked to a halt. All of the crew members fell to the floor. Davy Jones was the only one left standing. Suddenly it seemed the ship was moving on its own accord. When Jones looked over the edge of the ship, he was shocked by what was actually moving the ship. Below them was no water. All there was were crabs. Not little friendly, 'lets catch these and eat them' crabs, but huge rock like crabs moving the ship by toppling over each other.
When the crabs had taken them to their destination they all disappeared. All except for one lone crab. This crab started scuttling off into the black depths of the cave. Davy Jones jumped off the ship and quickly followed the crab into the cave.
After what seemed like a mile into the cave the crab stopped and disappeared. Now Davy Jones was stuck inside the cave with no idea where to go. Suddenly a loud voice struck his ears from all angles.
"WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE HERE!"
Davy Jones dropped to his knees, covering his ears with his hands. "Please, I mean no harm."
Davy Jones lifted his head slowly when he heard no further noise. Standing directly in front of him was the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on. Her skin a light brown and her eyes were a bright red that took his breath away. She was taller then a tree standing at over 20 feet tall. When Davy Jones' simply brown eyes met Calypso's glowing red eyes something changed. Neither could explain it but things were different now. Somehow Davy Jones was in control of the situation.
"How can I help you young pirate?" Calypso's demanding voice drove into Davy's ears like spears.
"I… I… was looking for the way to immortality on the seas." Davy Jones' voice was as shaky as a leaf as he tried to explain what he wanted to Calypso.
"Raise your eyes to me captain." When Davy Jones looked up he realized that Calypso had shrunk to a normal human size. The only real clue that she wasn't a human was her gleaming red eyes.
"All I want is to live forever on the seas. I know you know how to do it. Please Calypso help me." Davy Jones stood up as he begged her for help. Slowly he took a few steps towards Calypso raising his hand towards her face. For a second Calypso seemed overwhelmed by his simple movement towards her.
"For a man to control the seas, he must always watch the sea of the dead as well." Calypso stated, moving away from his touch.
"If man controlled the seas, he could roam the sea anywhere he wanted."
Calypso glared at Davy Jones with steady, glaring red eyes. "There must always be balance between man and God. The God's do not have power over man in the same way man cannot control the Gods. Balance between everything."
Davy Jones shifted on his feet. "Balance isn't always the answer," Davy stepped closer to Calypso and started to sing the old pirate song. "Yo ho, yo ho. A pirate's life for me."
"The only thing that proves is that I am a fool to trust a pirate." Calypso stated right into the dull brown eyes of Davy Jones.
"So this must means you trust me already. You are not a fool…" Davy lifted his hand to Calypso's face and tenderly brushed a strand of hair from her face. Slowly, he moved his lips towards Calypso's face; holding her face in his hands. Calypso's formerly aggravated eyes suddenly turned very loving and gentle. Captivated by the moment, she started leaning towards his lips as well. Time started to move slower and both seemed to be holding their breath. Suddenly it seems Calypso came to her senses and quickly turned on her feet and walked off.
"This cannot happen." Calypso stated factually; her light brown eyes gazing out into the ocean. "If the God's were to know, we both would be punished severely."
When Calypso looked away she realized that Davy Jones had slid into place beside her. "There are things that the God's could not take away from us." Davy grabbed Calypso by the arms, gently pulling her into his body.
Giving into temptation is easier then it sounds. There was no way to stop the events in motion now. Fate had taken its course and neither Calypso or Davy Jones were able to resist its pull. For the longest time they simple stood in each others arms; staring into each others eyes. Then they kissed.
