She is glorious again, out of the mortal coil. She cradles her Davy in the ocean's hold, chanting him back to life. His heart is his again, yet still in her grasp—as it's always been, even locked away on land.

She is the sea, all its' power, all its' glory, never meant to be locked away, caged, stifled in a single body and governed by a single heartbeat. She is too immense, too beautiful for such confinement—but that mortal man wanted what she could not give, and took when she could not give it.

The human-girl Elizabeth Swann is different and yet the same. She will wait for William, wait as long as it takes. She is not a god, but instead a king—lord of the lordless. Ruler of the waves, yet not as truly as Calypso.

She owes those two mortal children, owes them a deep debt. So she waits until William's first visit to land and weaves a spell.

Calypso and Davy have their eternity at the bottom of the sea. She grants William and his pirate wife-king the same. Never to age, never to die, free to roam the waves forever—at world's end.
