Calypso

Calypso The rhythmic music of Calypso can be traced to the African slaves whom were brought to work on the plantations of Trinidad. Having been forbidden from communicating with each other, the slaves used songs as a form of expression. They used Calypso, which originates from the West African kaiso. Although colonized by the Spanish, Trinidad also received innumerous French immigrants, and after sometime the British took control over the island.

winged hat in his hand. “Lady Calypso,” he offered. “My reason is not a happy one.” I tensed my shoulders, aware of what he was going to say but further betraying no emotion. “You see,” the god continued. “I have been sent by the Council of the Gods, by Lord Zeus himself, backed by Lady Athena. He demands that you release your prisoner immediately and send him back on his quest. He has overstayed his welcome and must return to the issue at hand.” I slumped in defeat but my voice was…

The world has become a lot more modernized and humans have begun to focus more on technology and robots to advance their future. World War X was fought with different cyborgs on both sides of the war, and it was mainly a fight that was focused on the water or under the water.

Odisia’s voyage would begin when she finds a…

I have just left Calypso island and as slowly as the time passes by, the more I get homesick and long to see your beautiful face again.

No matter how beautiful she was, I still felt unaccomplished because deep in my heart, I still had that longing…
