Hector Barbosa found himself at a murky precipice between life and death. The goddess, Calypso, whispering in his ear, offering him a deal.
The divine being offered him his life in exchange for his undying loyalty to her. She also promised him a beautiful pirate bride. “She’ll serve as worthy…. collateral.” Calypso explained.
