They walked together for what seemed like days, but with the sun every still in the sky; they had no idea how long it had been. James told Synnove about his life in Port Royal and his younger life in England, all of it fascinated Synnove so much that James ended up doing most of the talking. He even divulged his tale about a certain pirate and the Isla De Muerte and onto his actions which had led him to the locker. Much to his surprise Synnove did not berate him for his actions and accuse him of being a traitor in the manner which Elizabeth had. She simply stared at him for a few moments and then said, "it's a good thing you didn't marry this Elizabeth woman, it seems to me as though she would do anything to get what she wants. How heartless of her to treat you as she did and then make you feel guilty for it. I daresay if we ever get out of here I would like to give her a piece of my mind, or an equally sharp instrument."

James was left speechless for a long time after that, and then finally he responded, "A sharp instrument you say, well I have half a mind to turn a blind eye and let you do it, but she is the Governors daughter after all."

"Was."

"Pardon?"

"Was the Governors daughter, she is little less than a pirate now surely."

"Correct again Miss Synnove," James laughed, another first in years, "so then, you know my story through and through now, how about letting me hear yours?"

"My story is rather far-fetched Admiral James, you may think I have gone mad with the heat if I told you."

"Fighting undead pirates and stealing the heart of Davey Jones isn't far-fetched where you come from? And while I'm on the subject, where are you from? I have tried relentlessly to place your accent but to no avail."

"I'm from Sweden that is probably why you haven't heard my accent before. My story also involved Davey Jones, though through no fault of my own. Are you familiar with the story of why he cut his heart out? Synnove began.

"I believe it was over a woman."

"Yes, that woman was Calypso, a Goddess of the Seas, or at least that is the name she goes by now."

"Now?"

"She is a Goddess with many names and faces over the millennia she has been walking the Earth. The story of Calypso always fascinated my Mother, though she died before she could ever explain her fascination to me."

"I am sorry for your loss."

"Don't be Admiral James! It was hardly your fault," Synnove exclaimed in a voice far too happy for the sadness James could see in her eyes, "However Mother did tell me that Calypso is the oldest Goddess of the Seas and she created all of the other sea spirits and Gods who roam the earth. One such Goddess is Rán, the Norse Goddess of the Sea, who also happens to be my ancestor. Mother was a tad hazy on the details of exactly how that came to pass," Synnove paused for a moment to see if James was still listening. When she faced James she felt his eyes bore into hers.

"That explains your enchanting eyes, however, not how you ended up here."

"I was getting to that," Synnove replied, her porcelain skin lightly coloured red in a blush, "You see, Rán was known for her love of humans, however, every time she pulled a sailor overboard into her arms they died obviously. That was until she met and fell in love with Davey Jones. The more time the spent together the more she discovered that he was far more interesting than her husband Ægir. But the feelings were not mutual for the heart of Davey Jones always belonged to Calypso"

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" James added.

"Precisely. It was Rán who made a deal with the Pirate Lords and taught them how to bind Calypso in her human form. She thought that this would leave Davey Jones all to her, but instead he turned away from Rán and everything else, becoming the monster he is today."

"Monster is an understatement. If I were any less of a man his face would have given me nightmares, as it were many of my men refused to be in his presence out of fear."

A stream of laughter burst forth from Synnove's lips. James looked at her in shock, "that wasn't meant to be funny Miss Synnove, I assure you."

"Oh I'm sorry Admiral James, I just find it funny to imagine stern men such as yourself running away from Squidface in terror," Synnove composed herself and looked back up at James, "No shush and let me finish," she said batting at his arm before looping it with his, "The Pirate Lords, in their infinite wisdom let Calypso free in order to beat the East India Trading Company. After she was freed and Davey Jones returned to her she sought out revenge on Rán. However this alone did not satisfy her so she went searching for Rán's descendents. I'm the only living descendent of Rán and so Calypso imprisoned me in here. Isn't it terrible how the foolish actions of others can cause such suffering for innocents like us?"

"I'm hardly innocent Miss Synnove.I have done terrible things"

"I beg to differ, you wouldn't have done any of those things if not for your broken heart."
