Ooh, I like this, a lot.

Calypso learned some patience during her time being bound to Tia Dalma's form. And trial and error taught her much. But, in all that time, she never forgot who did it to her, and what she intended to do to the heirs of the Brethren Court once she was free.

I like the idea that she was putting on a front the whole time, especially in her hut after Jack's death. All that tea and sympathy, right before jumping in at the opportune moment to steer them all towards getting Jack back and convening the Court.

It was a good thing that Will figured out that Davy Jones betrayed her and told her. In the end, it would seem that the bigger betrayal steered Calypso away from her revenge on those hapless heirs.

Loved it.

Thank you!

Calypso was hard to write, but worth it. From her characterization, I thought that she was very vengeful, and determined to get free again. The way she pounced on Will's "if there was anything we could do" statement told me that she was just waiting for an opening.

Thanks again!

SWEET! Reads like it's canon.

That's about the highest praise I have ever received for a story. Thank you!

And the Brethren Court will never know what a close call it had (thank you, Will!)

Very fine Tia Dalma characterization!

Yes, the Court is very lucky Will figured it out.

Thank you!

I really like the ending. So ominous and yet, so thoroughly filled with hope and Calypso's building joy, one can almost taste it.

Nifty piece, a good read. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Thank you. I'm very glad you liked it.
