- Third POV -

The next day, Ana walks into the courtyard where some housekeepers are preparing for by setting the table and with platters of pastries and food.

Klaus and Ana exchange looks at each other.

"What's with the food and pastries?" Ana asked.

"Elijah has invited Kameron and his two brothers over for a civil conversation." Klaus said and gently folds his arms. "I told Elijah it wasn't a good idea, but he suggests that it's a way to study them as well."

"Oh, okay." Ana said.

"What about you? What are you up to?" Klaus asked.

"I'm gonna get to know Antoinette." Ana tells Klaus.

"You sure that's a good idea? She's the ex-girlfriend and you're the wife?" Klaus asked.

"Klaus? There won't be any drama. It will be just a civil conversation between two women, that's all." Ana said.

"Okay, then, good luck with your civil conversation with Antoinette." Klaus said.

Ana looks at Klaus. "Okay, who are you? And what have you done with Big Bad Klaus Mikaelson?"

"Oh, I'm still Big Bad me, it's just to the enemies." Klaus said.

Klaus and Ana exchange chuckles with each other and walks over to the minibar. He pours them both a glass of bourbon.

"Have you read Christy's book named "CROFT?" Ana asked.

"I have." Klaus said. "It's very good."

"Yeah, it is." Ana said.

Ana drinks her bourbon in one gulp and looks at Klaus. "I'll see you later, Klaus."

"You as well." Klaus said.

"Good luck with Kameron's visit." Ana said.

"I appreciate it, but probably won't need it." Klaus said.

"I know." Ana said and walks away.

Minutes later, Kameron and his younger brothers, Lukas and Damascus, had arrived.

Klaus sits at the head of the table with Elijah sits at the end. Kameron, Lukas and Damascus sits across from each other.

"So, what is the meaning of our visit?" Kameron asked.

"Obviously, this is some sort of information." said Lukas.

"You shouldn't be on edge, Lukas." Klaus said.

"You know of us, and yet, we know a little of you." Elijah said.

"Well, the reason that we know such things about the Mikaelsons is because we asked around. And the Mikaelsons reputation is far wicked than we ever expected." Damascus said.

"So, you three are brothers?" Klaus asked.

"We are." Kameron replied. "Before our parents died, I promised them that I would always protect my family from danger. I'm certain that you two feel the same way being brothers as well."

Klaus and Elijah exchange soft looks at each other.

"Yes, we do. My brother, Niklaus, and I have had our fair share of disagreements, arguments and fights, and our brotherly bond has been strained and broken many times, but at the end of the day, we are still, and always, will be brothers, family." Elijah said.

"Elijah is right." Klaus agreed. "But whenever an enemy comes about, he and I will do what it takes to handle."

"Annette is my wife, she is, too, my family. She told me everything." Kameron said. "And you don't want to make an enemy out of us."

Klaus, Elijah, Kameron, Lukas and Damascus exchange looks at each other.

And Klaus senses the already formed tension and changes the subject. "So, Kameron? Lukas? Damascus? How do you come to like New Orleans so far?"

"New Orleans is an interesting place, along with the French Quarter as well." Damascus replied.

"We have a boarding house here." Lukas said.

"But let's not forget the real reason why my brothers and I were invited here." Kameron said and looks at Klaus. "We suspect that you want to study us, just like we studied you."

"Of course, they did, Kam." Damascus said to his older brother. "And let's not also forget that the Mikaelsons have an ace up their sleeves as well."

"Ah, yes, what's her name again? It starts with "C" doesn't it?" Kameron asked.

"Enough." Klaus said, becoming aggravated. "Don't mention or even speak of my wife."

"Niklaus? Do not let Kameron get to you." Elijah said.

And Kameron keeps pushing Klaus's buttons. "It must be nice, you know, sharing a bed with a sorceress."

Klaus looks at Kameron. "If you valve your life, Kameron, you would do well to shut up."

"I ponder how you are without your precious wife, Christy. She must be very special to you if you defend her." Lukas said.

An infuriated Klaus grabs Kameron and bites him with his hybrid bite.

shortly after . . .

At the entrance of the compound, Elijah is talking to Klaus, trying to calm him down a little.

"Niklaus?" Elijah said.

"Kameron didn't get to me, I just couldn't let him talk about Christy in such a way." Klaus said.

"I understand." Elijah said. "And now, that Kameron has your hybrid bite, he will slowly die."

"Or maybe, we can use my hybrid bite against the brothers." Klaus said.

"What are you suggesting brother?" Elijah asked.

"Kameron said it himself that he promised to look after his brothers with him being the oldest." Klaus said.

"Kameron, Lukas and Damascus have a brotherly bond." Elijah said.

"With Kameron infected with my hybrid bite, let's see how strong the brotherly relationship is between Kameron, Lukas and Damascus." Klaus said.

"I hope you know what you're doing." Elijah said.

"I am." Klaus said. "We started this mess when we took Kameron's wife, Annette, so, we must finish it."

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other.

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY

Later that afternoon, Ana and Antoinette sits at a table across from each other.

"I appreciate that you wanted to spend some time with me, but I can't help that there's another reason, mainly, because of Elijah." Antoinette said.

"Elijah told me that you two had a relationship, but it doesn't bother me." Ana said. "I'm not like some women that gets envious of my husband's other relationships."

"I appreciate your honesty. And I assure you that I won't come between your marriage with Elijah. I noticed the wedding ring." Antoinette said.

"You don't have to keep your distance. Maybe, you can help us with The Daywalkers." Ana suggested.

"How would I help?" Antoinette asked.

"Well, for starters, since you're gonna be here for a while, maybe, me, you and Elijah can maintain a friendship." Ana suggested.

"Do you think Elijah would like the idea of friendship between the three of us?" Antoinette asked.

"I'll talk about it with him." Ana replied.

Ana and Antoinette exchange small smiles at each other.

Christy, Vek and Bassea hands out fruit baskets and other foods to Orasanian citizens.

"Need any help?" Zhang Lee said, slowly walks up to Christy.

Christy and Zhang exchange small smiles at each other.

"Hi, Zee. Yeah, sure." Christy replied.

Zhang walks over to a table and gets a coffee pot and a platter of crescent rolls, fruits and cheese cubes. Christy slowly walks up next to her.

"Where's Jun?" Christy asked.

"He's training some recruits for his tactical militia force." Zhang tells her.

"Yeah, he is the imperial captain for the Orasanian tactical militia force and you too." Christy reminded her.

"I know I am." Zhang said.

"As long as I've known you, you still keep to yourself." Christy said.

Zhang looks at Christy with a soft expression on his face. "It's how I am, Christiana. But I am quite an opened person."

"I'm just happy to see you around." Christy said. "Normally, you do airbrush tattoos."

Zhang and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

Minutes after, in the hallway, Christy is with two little Na'vi kid girls, planting some flowers in a flower pot in a window.

"Molt bé. Excel·lent treball." ( "Very good. Excellent work." ) Christy spoke in the Na'vi language.

Christy exchange chuckles with the two little Na'vi kid girls.

The Elder God, Elias, slowly walks into the hallway and greets Christy.

"Bona tarda, Christiana." ( "Good afternoon, Christiana." ) The Elder God, Elias, spoke in the ancient Orasanian language.

Christy looks at The Elder God Elias and bows her head at him. "Majestat." ( "Your Majesty." ) She spoke in the ancient Orasanian language.

Christy looks at the two little Na'vi kid girls. "You girls go on and plant the other flowers."

The two little Na'vi kid girls bows their heads at her and walks away with the plate seeds and empty flower pots.

                      Shortly after . . .

The Elder God Elias and Christy takes a stroll together in the hallway.

"Let me guess, you would like to spend some time with me as well?" Christy assumed.

"Well, of course." The Elder God Elias said. "My wife, Zenova, spoke about your visitation in the orchard. "We Elders adore this community center."

"This community center has been thriving ever since. The Handmaiden Assistants comes by and helps. The young and older children comes by and paints the walls. My daughters and their group comes by to help sometimes." Christy said.

Elder God Elias and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and their stroll.

- Third POV -

That evening, at the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, in the courtyard, Klaus and Elijah sits at the table.

"You let Kameron and his brothers leave." Elijah said.

"I let Kameron and his brothers leave our home with whatever dignity they had left. And as for Kameron, he doesn't have quite much time with the hybrid bite he has." Klaus said.

"The Daywalker vampires know of us, Niklaus. Their must be a way to make them not know of us." Elijah said.

"I would ask Christy, but she's occupied." Klaus said. "Perhaps, we can ask Zenith, Thalia or Max."

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other. Klaus takes out his phone and dials a phone number.

"Who are you contacting?" Elijah asked.

"Max. We don't asks for help, but it doesn't hurt to try." Klaus said.

"I can assume that Christy has a positive influence on your mindset." Elijah said.

"Something like that." Klaus said and holds his phone to ear.

And Max answers his phone. "Klaus? Hi."

"Max, I know it's late, but Elijah and I could use a little help from you." Klaus said. "Could you come over to the compound?"

"Sure. I'll be there." Max replied.

"Alright then." Klaus said and hangs up his phone.

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- GRAND FOYER

That night, Christy sits on the stairs, reading a book. A portal opens and closes.

"Hello, Love." Klaus greeted his wife.

Christy looks at her husband. She gets up and walks up to him.

Klaus and Christy gently hugs each other.

"Hi back at you." Christy greeted him back.

Klaus and Christy gently pulls away from the hug and exchange soft looks at each other.

"Is everything okay?" Christy asked.

"Everything's fine, I just wanted to see you." Klaus said.

"Oh, okay." Christy said and slowly walks back to the stairs.

"What's been going on here lately or recently?" Klaus asked, sitting next to her on the stairs.

"Well, nothing much, just the same old same old." Christy tells him. "What about you?"

"Same old same old." Klaus replied. "I just wanted to see you that's all. Seeing you eases me."

To which Christy chuckled lightly. "And seeing you makes me feel happy."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Well, it's getting late." Christy said.

"Yeah, it is. Well, it was good seeing you, even for a few minutes." Klaus said.

"It was good to see you too." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy shares a passionate kiss and exchange small smiles at each other.
