Ever made a mistake that destroyed your entire life?

Calypso did. However much she regretted it, she could never be forgiven. Just because she supported the Titans in the first war, because Atlas was her father. Atlas was her flesh and blood. It wasn't her idea. So when he came to her, persuading her to join his side- to join the family, it was impossible for her to refuse.

"Prove your worth. Make me proud." Those had been his exact words.

Never even noticed by her father, she had been so delighted at the opportunity, and immediately joined his side, the Titans' side, without a second thought. When the Titans lost, Calypso was banished to Ogygia. It was a beautiful island, really, if it hadn't been her prison for eternity. Stuck on an island for eternity, cursed by the gods, her life basically sucked. To make the situation worse, a hero was sent to her every millennia. A hero she could not help but fall for. A hero that could never stay.

It started with Odysseus. Too bad demigods always got the "Zeus approved" version of every myth. She had been portrayed as a seductress; luring men to her island and never letting them leave. Calypso wasn't angry when she heard the myth. She was heartbroken. To think the mortal she had fallen in love him had betrayed her, giving out such an image of her. She swore to herself- never to fall in love again. The Fates were cruel, and she could not do a single thing about it. Heroes came and left, and Calypso's heart was broken every single time.

The gods were cruel, and there was nothing Calypso could do about it.

Percy Jackson fell onto Ogygia one day. He was like the rest, a hero she could not help but fall for. Those sea green eyes that were void less captured her like it had so many others. Calypso was almost jealous of this Annabeth girl who held his heart. She tried to make him stay, but she knew in her heart they could never be. She let him go. Another hero left her.

After the Titan war, Percy Jackson made the gods swear on the Styx to set her free. Ecstatic, she cheerfully packed up some necessities in her small bag, said goodbye to all the little places in Ogygia and made plans. She was finally going to be free! She would travel the world. At last, she could see the 21st century world. She waited for someone- anyone, to rescue her from Ogygia, her prison for over a millennium.

But no one ever arrived.

Calypso grew bitter. They had forgotten all about her, like she didn't matter. Insignificant, compared to the gods' children, whom they claimed immediately. On a whim, she cursed Annabeth Chase, to be separated from her love when she needed him the most. She regretted it, but the desire for revenge had overcome her in that split second.

Then Leo Valdez came along.

He was different, she knew immediately. However, she was determined never to fall for another hero again. He wasn't that easy to like in the beginning, anyway. Crashing into Ogygia like nobody's business, blowing up her dining table. Then he annoyed her so much, intruding into her private life like that. Seriously though, "the one who was named after Carribean music"? It was named after her! The boy irked her to no end, and she thought that she would find peace when he finally built his camp on the other side of the island. Then she started to feel sorry for him. It wasn't his fault that he got blasted into Ogygia anyway. So she helped him with his supplies and gathered materials needed. She tried very hard not to fall for this boy.

Quite an impossible task.

When the raft finally arrived on the shore of Ogygia, she tried to push aside all her feelings for the boy and help him to prepare for his journey. But when he tried to promise never to leave her, she had to stop him.

So she kissed him.

It was stupid, she knew. He knew, she knew, that they both felt those sparks, and that they would never be the same again. However, he had to help his friends. He had to save the world. So as the tiny raft faded away into the distance, just like so many others had, Calypso turned away, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

Yet another man she loved left her.

For a while after the boy left, she cursed herself over and over again, wondering why on Ogygia did she not simply shush him or distract him. Eventually, she convinced herself that it was the only way to get him to shut up. At least he wouldn't make any rash promises that he would later regret.

Little did she know.

I decided to write Calypso this time, because she's such a nice person, yet she's so often misunderstood, to the point I've seen so many fanfics where Calypso is the baddie. She's so nice, it's a miracle she still pitied on Leo.
