"I only supported my Dad ONCE.
It was wrong, I know.
But he's my family. How could I
not choose his side?" Calypso protested. 


"I don't care what your excuse is girl. Betraying the gods is unacceptable!" Zeus thundered, you heard lighting flash and thunder rumble in the distance.

"My lord. It was her one and only mis-" 


"SILENCE!" Zeus gave his daughter Artemis a worse death glare than the Lord of the Dead himself is famous for giving when he's mad.
Zeus then turned on Calypso. 


"You betrayed us and that is not something I take lightly. 

You will be exiled to your Paradise and prison Orgagina. 

Heroes that you can't help but fall in love with will come, 

you can offer them to stay and live with you forever in immortality, 

but they never can and always go away.

You will live forever by yourself, know one to hold and love." 

Zeus snapped his fingers and the next thing she knew Calypso was on her beautiful island that she never will be able to share with anyone forever.


"Wow, I couldn't even think of something as heart wrenching stuff like that in all my years of meddling in peoples love life. Good job." 

Aphrodite smiled approvingly.

Zeus just grunted, still fuming and mad.




~~~ If Calypso didn't support her Dad. Here's the alternate story . . . ~~~




"But that's not fair."
Calypso complained. 


"I didn't do anything, 

I am not my father just as much as you guys are your parents. 

I don't look down on you Lord Zeus because your father was Kronos, 

so you shouldn't look at me any different also. I am my own person. I am not my father." Calypso crossed her arms across her chest stubbornly.

Zeus grumbled words she couldn't make out under his breath then said. 


"I don't care. Your Dad was our enemy. Who knows what you could do to us."



"That's exactly my point. You don't know. And that scares you. 

When there's something unknown you want to jump to conclusions and strike it with one of your lightning bolts to get rid of it because of the slim possibility they could turn on you. 

I wouldn't turn on you Lord Zeus. Atlas may be my father but he is not my family,

you guys are. 


If you go around electrocuting every person who was a possible threat who hasn't done anything to prove that they are a threat we are no better than the Titans." Calypso said. 


"I don't care. Your very existence threatens my family and I won't have that." 


Before any words could come out of the sorceresses mouth Zeus snapped and Calypso was turned into a storm cloud and whisked off to her island prison.



"That young maiden did nothing against us. 

She spoke truth and wisdom worthy of Athena. 

And yet we exiled her for something she could do and something her Dad did . . . 

I thought we were the good guys, 

but Calypso's right, 

we are no different from the Titans and you Daddy dear," 

Artemis turned to look at him, her brown eyes full of angry fire. 

"are worse than Kronos."

Artemis sneered and disappeared in a ray of Moonlight.



She went to Calypso's side, warning her about the curse Aphrodite was forming for her.
Artemis apologized for her Dad. 


"Just because he's the king of the gods does not mean everyone he's suppose to represent supports him." 


She promised Calypso wouldn't always be alone, she'd convince her Dad to allow the gods to come visit her, and just because Calypso is going to have a lot of guys in her future Artemis would stay close. Calypso really had the fire and soul of all of her huntresses combined, maybe more. The goddess hugged the poor sorceress, giving her a weak smile Artemis waved and she melted into the light of the silvery moon.

Authors Note:
Anyone seen Scooby-Doo Curse of the Lake Monster? It's live action.
Well if you have you should remember this reference. If you don't watch the movie again and you'll see what I mean. XDDD
I honestly had no clue if Calypso had supported her and Zoe Nightshades father Atlas. I know she probably told Percy if she had or not in the Battle of the Labyrinth but I just couldn't remember so I wrote those two different versions.
I don't know if she supported him or not but I like the second one I wrote better. I hope you guys enjoyed this backstory as much as I did writing it. Love chu me lovelies, with all me heart. ~Katie. :)
