Calypso

It all ended with Odysseus. After his return, everyone knew of her island and her secrets. For a woman as bitter and secretive as Calypso, this obviously would not do. She left her old island, and created another in the Caribbean. Rather than live on its shores, as many expected her to do, most of her real estate was underwater, where she was safe to practice witchcraft in peace. Time and tides made her more friendly to men, as she came to trust them, or more likely saw the use in them. She created a world on her island, one of voodoo and serpents, to distract from the magic that was infusing the area. She met Davy Jones, and Jack Sparrow, and her opinion of men fell again.

It was then that she met Merlin, an unusual man by any standard. She let him live on her island, and in turn he would expand her magical knowledge, for Calypso always hungered to know more, to wield more power. In time they agreed to take their island out of world, for the oceans were getting smaller, and Calypso would allow no man to disturb the peace and quiet of her world. Remnants of home still linger, though. There is a pirate ship, its crew centuries old but sustained, like all the other animals that had been in the area, in a kind of eternal life. They are bored, but take delight in the wonders that abound in this new space, where their mistress, the sea, can take some unusual turns.
