Calypso felt her ever present smirk form on her face as she passed by several people on the street. The people of London were quite resilient, surviving an attack from that minor annoyance Simurgh, and then rebuilding their damaged city. The people of Switzerland weren't too fortunate, but Zeus said not to get involved with the affairs of mortals. He only got involved with the Simurgh when she attacked London, because Mount Olympus was moved to the top of Big Ben for this decade or so. Speaking of Zeus, he had called another meeting and demanded that she be there.
Zeus became prickly after she tricked Poseidon into giving her his powers all those centuries ago. All she had to do was spread her legs, and fake it till she made it. If she recalled correctly, it happened around the time the Western Roman Empire fell. Shaking the thoughts out of her head, she took a right at the street up ahead. Her current disguise was a simple ginger, with pale skin covered in freckles. No one gave her a second look, even with the white crab she held in her hand. She called this one Jack. Last she saw the infamous Jack Sparrow, he was sailing off into the distance with that fat white guy with the sideburns after faking their deaths. He made a name for himself in America apparently as some actor. Why would anyone hire Jack Sparrow, who called himself John Christopher Depp at the time, to play a crazy candyman in a kids movie, Calypso will never understand despite all of her godly powers.
She ruled the sea not the mind. After a few minutes of wandering, Calypso caught sight of Big Ben. After the fall of Rome, Zeus decided to wander the world in search of adventure. The mortals stopped believing in them, and Zeus lost his zeal in sleeping around for a few centuries before going back to his old ways. Thankfully, he learned about using protection more often, not that it mattered anymore. The mortals called anyone who had powers parahumans so they could easily hide in plain sight.
Approaching the base of Big Ben, Calypso walked past the guards casually. One of them gave her a sharp nod. Odysseus was quite grateful for her blessings. Currently the clock was closed for 'refurbishment' which meant that Zeus had called for the majority of the pantheon. He was probably mad about Calypso choosing a new captain for the Flying Dutchman, since they were not allowed to interfere with mortals. If so, that would he incredibly stupid on his part. She was just doing her part to help Hades and Thanatos. The Dutchman helped to guide them into the Underworld. There, Hades would judge their life accordingly, and they would either go to the good or bad side. Calypso knew it was more complicated than that, but she didn't care. Her main concern was all those who died at sea, without anyone to guide their souls for centuries, bypassing the River Styx entirely with the help of the Flying Dutchman.
Choosing a descendant of William Turner was a better idea than revenge. It killed two birds with one stone. Still, Calypso felt bad for the girl. No one deserved to go through life like that, unless you were named Amphitrite.
Changing her form slowly, Calypso's pale skin turned to a darker shade similar to her time as Tia Dalma. Her hair turned into a healthy shade of black with her current attire being changed in favor of a revealing white dress. Being stuck in a mortal's body was very eye opening. The body that the First Brethren Court bound her in was of African descent. As a result, she faced racism and hatred as a result. It only made her miss the Roman's since they didn't care about the skin color of their slaves.
Putting those thoughts aside, it was always fun to mess with her fellow gods and goddesses. Hestia was always a prune. With the snap of her fingers, a door of bright light formed in the walls ahead of her, and she walked in.
Ah, only a few were here already. Calypso held her head high with a large grin as she walked past a few of her contemporaries. The entire place looked like it was made out of gold and was extremely gaudy. Hades and his buxom wife Persophone stood off to the side of the room, glowing blue and pink respectively. They liked to do that for some reason, most likely bored of normal skin colors. He gave her a sharp nod which she returned with a mischievous grin. Persophone waved with a large smile upon her beautiful face. The goddess of spring had taken it upon herself to become Calypso's 'best friend'. Walking over to the couple, Persophone wrapped Calypso into a tight embrace, not that she didn't mind the view. She had taken many lovers over the years, both male and female. The sea was always changing and untamed.
"Caly!" Persophone grinned.
"Pers!" Calypso kept her own grin on her face.
"And Hades." The blue ruler of the Underworld muttered. They were allies at court. While Zeus held a grudge against Calypso for taking over Poseidon's domain, Hades didn't really care. They had made a deal where Calypso would deal with the souls of those who died at sea, which proved to be in Hades favor as he had less work to do, relatively.
"Any idea why his royal lighting bolt called this meeting?" Calypso asked after Persophone released her from her embrace. The golden door opened and a few more walked in. Hecate was very noticeable, with her blue skin, yellow eyes and jet black short hair. They had a falling out a few decades ago, which resulted in a few glares being thrown across the room.
"You know that my brother doesn't tell me things. Though, if I had to guess, I would assume it has something to do with a certain ghost ship." Hades smirked. Ah, so Zeus was being a hypocrite again. Plenty of the others mess around, and Calypso herself has been quiet for half a century now. Leave it up to Zeus to get his panties twisted as soon as the Flying Dutchman got a new captain. It was quite stupid and a waste of everyones time for a problem such as this. Besides, it wasn't like Calypso was the only one interfering with the affairs of mortals. Most notably, Zeus himself having said affairs with various mortals.
"True."
Any future conversation was interrupted with the appearance of Zeus himself, who stomped into the room while wearing a tailored suit. The room instantly went silent as Zeus walked over to his throne.
"And I believe that is my cue." Hades said with a sigh. He gave his wife a kiss on the cheek before walking up to the throne beside Zeus. Poseidon wouldn't show up most likely since he was stuck as god of earthquakes and horses.
Once Hades was seated, Calypso felt Zeus' gaze come upon her. Of course he was going to single her out.
"I believed...that we all agreed to not interfere with the affairs of mortals." Zeus' booming voice said. A few of the others shrank back, most notably Eros and Aphrodite. They had been organizing...various parties in several countries. Hecate flinched a little, which made Calypso smirk again. "You…"
Calypso walked up slowly. "Me?" Zeus started to grind his teeth while his brother sighed with a bored expression upon his face. "I don't recall doing anything that has to do with mortals, my King. I was simply managing the affairs of my realm, and helping poor Charon."
Everyone's eyes turned to her. Good thing Calypso enjoyed the attention.
"Besides, if you have any grievances about interfering with mortals you might want to take it up with Hecate. She did bless the one that the mortals call Myrddin after all.
"Lies!" Hecate called out from her spot. Whispers started to fill the room. Hehe, this was perfect.
"That's not even talking about Demeter blessing that one child who went insane after gaining powers." Demeter tried replicating what Calypso had done with the Dutchman. Of course she didn't have Hades permission and it backfired on her tremendously. "Last I heard, they call the girl the Faerie Queen now."
The whispers grew louder.
"SILENCE!" Zeus shouted which turned the room quiet. After a minute or so of Zeus glaring at everyone, he rubbed his forehead while looking down.
"The Entities are on the move again." Ah yes, the creators of those insects the mortals call Endbringers. Zeus looked back up, his face one of anger.
"I don't care what you all do anymore, but I wont allow them to have our world." What? The horny, drunk king has finally woken from his stupor? Well that was surprising. "While the mortals may believe us to be simple myths and legends, this world belongs to us."
"What are you saying Father?" Asspollo said, taking a step forward. Zeus' gaze came upon him, and he flinched.
"War."
It seems that Thanatos, Charon, Taylor and Hades will be very busy in their future.
A/N
Yes I meant to put Asspollo and not Apollo.
This is a POTC crossover first and foremost, so don't worry about the plot derailing. It's just an explanation for why some gods and goddesses won't be around.
I hope this chapter helped to enrich the world I am building here. Worm seems unexplored outside of Brockton Bay and even America.
A few days ago while watching a few MVs, I realized the greatest truth.
KPOP girls are basically anime girls in real life.
Anyways, who is your least favorite POTC character?
