Beginning We see that Davy Jones was just a boy who lived close to the coast. He was the son of a lowly metal worker, but he was never truly interested into the craft, he was much more interested in music and poetry. Whenever his father gets drunk and scolds him, he would hide at the beach; the sound of the unending waves had always brought a sense of peace to Davy Jones. He loved the ocean, its beautiful sound, its infinite combinations of waves crashing into one another, unpredictable yet mysteriously beautiful, like a woman. The goddess of the sea, Calypso was touched by the boy's pureness and love, she then transformed into a human girl to meet with the boy. The two fell in love very quickly, and Davy had learnt enough from his father to have made two matching music boxes; one for himself and one for his one and only love. The Attack Until one day, the pirates attacked Davy Jones' village and his home was burnt to the ground. his family and friends butchered before his eyes. Davy, having very nearly escaped death, drifted into the ocean on a wooden debris, dying from his wound and dehydration, he was approached by Calypso. The Contract "Do you fear death?" Calypso asked Davy, as an immortal goddess, the concept of death has always fascinated her. Delirious and thought it was a hallucination from dehydration, Davy Jones did not question how Calypso, his love appeared to him in the middle of the ocean. yet, he answered "I fear the thought of never meeting you again." "You can be with me, always" Calypso told Davy, "if you would serve as my captain, my guide to the souls who are lost at sea." Calypso also told Davy Jones that if he accepts, he would be to be able to only set foot on land once every ten years; for the magic to remain unbroken. Davy Jones agreed. Ten years, he devoted himself to the duty he was charged with. Ten years, he looked after those who died at sea. Finally, when they could be together again; Calypso was not there to meet him. It was true, Calypso loved Davy Jones, as a mortal. Now that he had completely devoted himself and became cursed, Calypso no longer found Davy Jones fascinating nor beautiful. It is then, Calypso realised that " a thing is beautiful not because it lasts. A candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and Davy Jones was once a beautiful boy who was pure and knew not fear and death. And now Calypso see something that reminds her of herself, an immortal who had no purpose in life nor have the freedom to act as they pleased. She had corrupted him, and she could not live to see him again, for it pains her heart to see what he had become. Davy Jones waited on the promised island. He waited and waited, until he realised that Calypso was not coming... The Rage Outraged. Davy Jones cursed Calypso and renounces her contract, her love and her. It caused him to become cursed, and his body underwent drastic changes as punishment for breaking the contract between him and Calypso. He then sought the pirates to bind Calypso into her human form. This time for good. The Silent Tear After it was done, Davy Jones felt nothing. He was hollow inside, his love betrayed him and locking Calypso in her human form did not fill the void she left behind. Life was indeed cruel, when revenge did not bring him peace and his love did not bring him reciprocation. Filled with relentless hate, love, rage and sorrow, Davy Jones cut out his heart and locked it in a chest along with all the love letters and poetry he had given her. The man who Davy Jones was had died, now he was left a husk, a monster that knew not love or pain, a being that was both alive and dead. As he closed the chest, he realised that there was one item missing, and it was the music box he had in his pocket. Davy Jones took it out and let the music play; as soon as the music played; memories of their love danced into his mind, and brought Davy Jones to tears. He could not let go of the box and kept it on him on all times, as a token of what once was. He shall bear this pain for eternity and remember the times they were together, for it was the only thing he had left that made him feel "human". An untainted memory, a remembrance of the life that Davy Jones once had which brought him the only peace he had known.
