Calypso

Most know her story. The nymph cursed by the gods for siding with the Titans, eternally imprisoned on the island of Ogygia, enchanted to fall in love with any and all heroes that washed up onto her shore. And every time, she had to let them go, her heart breaking just a little more each time.

Then she met Odysseus. For the first time, her love wasn't forced by the enchantment. Her love was true, and she offered him immortality. And when Athena told her she had to let him go, her already broken heart shattered.

Years have passed. No other heroes have washed onto her shores. She spends most of her time sleeping, or trying in vain to end her own immortality.

You were sailing when a storm hit.

You find yourself on a strange island.
