June 6, 1675
The day dawns gray and grim, with thick ropes of fog intertwined together like serpents mating. There is little sun, and what sunlight there be, strains through the clouds as though little enthusiasm remains in their rays. The ocean waves are nil, and the Dutchman sails silently through the dark waters. The colours of the morning reflect my sadness and my heartache. There is but one thought on my mind, but many emotions. The crew has sensed my mood but respectfully, as decent men should, leave me to my own solitude and my thoughts...
The exquisite hand-carved chest, the chest in which my own blood went into, sits on the desk here in my quarters like a funereal stone. Over and over again, I mull over why my beloved Calypso was not there at the shoreline to greet me. Initially I had feared the worst when she did not return my correspondence, the many letters I had written to her in the past months, sealed with wax, written on the finest parchment skin, pouring every bit of my heart and soul into those inked words.
Many beautiful women I have known and perhaps even temporarily loved, if it could be called that, but none such as Calypso, with her exquisitely soft tawny skin and earthy enchantment, her scent of sandalwood and fathomless, dancing eyes. It was she whom I desired to marry and to take with me back to the lonely shores of my Scottish home. I promised her everything ; I promised her my heart and soul. I did as I was asked to do, for ten long years, ten long years...at her behest, I took the souls of those who passed on in her arms at sea to the afterlife, where they were given eternal life. ' Twas because of my great love for her that I did this, and in doing so, she promised that she would be there.
Alas, the Dutchman came to shore. In my arms I held the chest, and inside the chest a wedding ring the Turkish master craftsman had created, a ring of silver carved into a crab, the crabs claws holding the finest black Tahitian pearl ever known to man. While sailing the seas of Polonaise Francais ( French Polynesia) a native man I met there must have sensed the love I had in my soul for Calypso and went to his tribe, where the chief welcomed myself and the crew, and presented me with the pearl. I had written down for Calypso these words that I learned that day and enclosed them in the chest:
Eia Au, Eia 'Oe
E Hoomau Maua Kealoha
Male Ana E Pili Mai Aloha Kaua
Nou No Kau a Kau
No Keia La, No Keia Po, A Mau Loa
No Ka `I`ini
Ke Aloha Calypso
(Here I am, here you are
May our love last forever
We two will cling together in love, in marriage
You are mine for eternity
From this day, from this night, forever more
I desire you
Beloved Calypso
But time went by and there was no woman to greet me at the shore. I waited for what may seem like a lifetime, two lifetimes. I held back the tears til now, for I will let no man see me weep as I have wept for her. I wandered about up and down the shore as my devoted crew waited. She was nowhere to be found. Nowhere. I would have searched the faces of the moon and the stars if they could have revealed to me just where she was.
There is little room now for remorse in my heart, knowing that I did her bidding and that she, the traitorous, deceitful siren she is, cast her spell upon me and pulled me to the very depths of deep desire, making me none other than a fool for love and yet most likely another victim of her whims. As my pen moves across this paper I am trembling with rage. I will find a way to betray this treacherous female, and I will have my revenge. I will make her suffer as I have suffered.
