First and foremost- I don't own anything or anyone related to PoTC. I just wish I did.
Now, if you are joining me for the first time (welcome) you might want to take 20 minutes and go check out my other story, Passing Ships, before you start into this one. PS takes place after DMC but before WE- of course it's my take on the enchanting little universe. The only characters I can call my own are Emily Swann who is NOT, I repeat NOT involved with Jack Sparrow, and her baby, James David (JD). This first chapter is very short, but necessary for the plot of the rest. I hope you enjoy and leave me some love.
Calypso, born of a nymph and the sea god Poseidon, fell in love with a mortal who had shipwrecked on her island and pledged him her heart. The mortal, in turn, swore an oath that she would always possess his.
Calypso, however, was betrayed. A minion of Poseidon's revealed their secret and the god of the sea was enraged. His daughter would marry no mortal.
Poseidon sought out the pair and while Calypso begged for her love, he cursed her, turning her to stone. Calypso's mortal lover fared no better. Since he had already pledged his heart, Poseidon saw no wrong in taking it from him. He enslaved the man, granting him immortality but denying him the one thing he wanted more than life, his love.
Poseidon granted the leave of a band of pirates known as the Brethren to hide her garden where her lover could not tread but once every ten years, on land. And then, in order to bide his time well, Poseidon cursed the man to sail the seas for all eternity, gathering the lost and dead towards him.
And so, for years, Davey Jones has searched. Using his one precious night to comb for traces of his love's hiding place, hoping against all hope that they could be united once again.
