After years of searching, she had finally found her family along with her twin sister Emma but...

CALYPSO ROSE FROM the waves and Erica had never seen a sea so violent in recent times, besides the storm, she was caught in on Neverland. She shrunk down to human size and hurried onto the sand in the shallows and whirled around to face them "What do you two think you are doing?"
"We were showing Erica the trident"
"Why? It should be with Poseidon in the tomb"
Erica's heart stuttered, she had read about Poseidon but didn't know he was still around, although considering the eternal Goddess of the seas was her magic teacher and she had dark magic running through her veins
"Stop being dramatic, you know Poseidon isn't dead"
"Well perhaps it was worded wrong but you know what I mean" Calypso shrugged her face and stance impassive as if she didn't realise what she was saying was terrifying to Erica, who had just come to terms with the fact that Calypso was real and had formed a friendship with her while she was learning magic
Even if it was only tentative
"Perhaps I do" Jaclyn clipped, her tone jaded and edged "But your student doesn't"
"Do you want to know about it?"
"I would, I am a Queen after all" Erica said boldly, stepping forward into the shallows where Calypso was. The waves lashed harshly at her feet and pain spiked in her ankles but she didn't back down
Recklessness. She was being so reckless but she couldn't find it within herself to care. This could seriously get her killed -- everything she had been since coming from Enchanted Forest could have gotten her killed, from scaling the rigging to taking on Blackbeard and Angelica, the way she did.
But again she didn't find it within herself to care
"And I would be careful what you say to me girl, you are after all talking to a Goddess, who not only controlled the seas but is also extremely powerful myself so next time I would really be careful of how you say it and what you say more importantly," Calypso said every word penetrating Erica's skin
"I would still like to learn"
"Come with me, you have a lot to learn. I will teach you" Calypso commanded, every word just as sharp as ever as she fell into step beside Erica, taking her back to the Cove and surprisingly into the library, taking her over to the stone bench and inviting her to sit down
"Everything?"
"Okay but don't say I didn't warn you," Calypso said softly but with a sharp look that made Erica's stomach twist, still she edged closer to the deity wanting to hear the rest of her tale "The seas and oceans are vast and forever changing and because of that. The seas are guarded by the Council made up of Poseidon, Ursula, Triton and myself as we make up the sea deities. We govern over everything to do with the seas, every decision, every deal and every tragedy?"
