CHAPTER FIVE HERE

Chapter 6 - Team Mikaelson

Klaus Mikaelson’s recent visit to Mystic Falls had been going particularly well, especially considering he was unaware of the problems his siblings Rebekah and Elijah were having back in New Orleans. The original hybrid had spent the day reconnecting with his daughter Hope, meeting a grown-up Josie and hearing their wedding plans which now included him. However, before he returned to New Orleans, he had one last visit to make, a visit to his eldest sibling Freya Mikaelson. “Freya!” Klaus said with a sense of excitement as he stood in front of his eldest sister, who stood in the garden of her home in Mystic Falls, tending to her flowers with a water can. “Klaus!” She replied as she dropped the water can and ran over to hug her younger brother, ecstatic to see him alive once again. “Rebekah told me she brought you back, but it was not real until right now!” “As always you are aging very well!” Klaus complimented his sister Freya after breaking off their hug. “As always, a little touch of magic goes a long way, also helps I am teaching at Salvatore Boarding School now, so I have access to all kinds of magic to help fight the aging!” Freya admitted to her brother. “I waited until Hope had finished her studies there before deciding to teach which she was very thankful about.” “I cannot believe my sister and my daughter live in Mystic Falls with their own budding families.” Klaus confessed to her. “It is funny how much life quiets down when your little brother is not out there causing enemies on a daily basis.” Freya joked with him. “Although Kol is still out there but luckily Davina seems to have him under the thumb these days.” Before Klaus had any more time to question Freya about what she had been up to over the last decade since he had died his phone had began ringing and he quickly answered it, hearing Rebekah’s voice straight away, who wasted no time in getting her brother up to speed with the latest escapades back in New Orleans. “So, dear sister, how do you fancy doing a little spell for me before I am forced to head back to New Orleans early?” Klaus asked Freya after hanging up his phone call to their sister. “I guess this means our siblings have got themselves into trouble again.” Freya guessed correctly.

Meanwhile back in New Orleans, Rebekah and Elijah were waiting outside of the “Welcome to New Orleans” sign standing in front of their black convertible car, awaiting their brother Kol’s arrival who decided to lend a helping hand with the current witch situation, leaving Davina and their children back in San Francisco. Rebekah knew Kol would have a lot to say about Klaus and Elijah’s return especially with the Black siblings’ involvement in his brothers’ return but she knew she could convince him to help her out like she always could plus it helped that Rose also needed help and she could play on their former friendship to get Kol on side. “I still cannot believe our brother Kol is married with children, here was me believing he would never grow up and he has done what none of us could ever manage and found himself a normal life.” Elijah confessed to his sister. “Trust me Elijah a normal life is overrated, I tried that with Marcel and I really did love him but, in the end, it was not enough.” Rebekah replied, speaking about her breakup with Marcel for the first time. “I finally got the picture perfect wedding I always wanted with the guy of my dreams but there was no happily ever after just crashes and burns until I could not take it anymore and just decided to flee.” “You and Marcellus have a rather complicated history it is never really over with the two of you not even Niklaus himself could stand in the way of you two.” Elijah told Rebekah, making it clear he did not believe his sister’s love story with Marcel was over. “No, it is different this time, things I want, things I need and things I am going to be just doesn’t work with being his wife.” Rebekah admitted with a sigh of sadness. “I may have a long time before I get the chance of being human again but when that day comes I want it all; the dreary suburban life, spoiled brats whom I love and are my own and a husband I want to kill every now and then but do not actually because I love him…” “I see, tell me Rebekah where do your brothers fit into this version of you?” Elijah questioned his sister. “Did you only bring us back, so you were not alone during the wait to be human? Are we just disposable the moment you become human and seek that normal life?” “Do not get all dramatic on me now Elijah, of course you and Klaus will forever be a part of my life in some shape or form, you two are hard to get rid of and believe it or not but I like it that way…sometimes.” Rebekah answered him, reassuring her brother of his importance to her life. “Well it is just like me to miss the family reunion!” Kol stated, after vamp speeding his way to stand in front of Rebekah and Elijah. “I wonder if our sister Freya is coming along for this trip of nostalgia?” “Niklaus is in Mystic Falls with her now trying to locate the siblings so we can separate that particularly bloody family reunion, which gives us some time…if little to consider what we are going to do with Henrik.” Elijah answered his younger brother. “He may not look or act like he used to be but he’s still our baby brother…the youngest of us all and he has already died once.” Rebekah chimed in, feeling a knot in the gut of her stomach, knowing they may have to kill their brother. “Of course, now he has the hollow in him and has been playing you all like fools, not to mention the whole after life has gone to hell as well…” Kol replied to his siblings. “How exactly are we going to fix that one?” “I figure first we deal with Henrik and this witch/warlock Magnus, then decide on what to do with Henrik and then we can tackle the ghosts of our past.” Elijah answered him. “Not to mention we need to work out whether we are saving Kayne, Rose and or Bella or if we should just so simply kill them all.” “We are not killing Bella and we are most certainly not killing Kayne either!” Rebekah snapped. “They helped bring you back and we have already done too many wrongs to them already.” “Do not forget Rose, after all she is the sole reason, I am helping out with this mess that you yourself created sister.” Kol reminded Rebekah before turning to Elijah. “Not that it is not nice to have you among the living again brother but I’d rather the whole of the afterlife did not join you on that journey!” “I surprisingly agree with you Kol.” Elijah replied to him. “So, how do we go about getting ourselves involved in a witch war with four rather powerful witches and a Mikaelson witch to boot?” Kol wondered, as Rebekah’s phone began to ring. Instead of answering Kol, Rebekah quickly pulled out her phone from her jacket pocket and answered it, immediately hearing Klaus’ voice who had details for his sister via their latest foes’ location that he got from a locating spell cast by their sister Freya and now that Rebekah had the much needed information it was time for the Mikaelson’s to kick their plan into action.

The Hollow had latched itself onto Henrik Mikaelson following Klaus and Elijah’s deaths, tricked the Mikaelson brothers that they were in fact Henrik and gave them an afterlife to fit their idea of perfection while it grew closer to them, learning their every weakness while playing the role of a loving brother. Inadu herself was long gone but her power, the darkness of her aura, remained as strong as ever before and now it had latched itself onto the youngest Mikaelson, Henrik losing himself within the darkness of The Hollow as The Hollow plotted to take out the rest of Henrik’s family and then whoever else dared to threaten its power. “I guess this addition to the family reunion means you have realized my little secret.” Henrik said all too smugly with a wicked grin as Elijah, Rebekah and Kol vamp sped into the compound to find Henrik stood by the fountain waiting for them. “We can help you fight the hollow; we can find a way to destroy this power once and for all.” Elijah pleaded with his youngest brother. “Henrik if you are in there somewhere please fight to come through!” “Oh, I am as much Henrik as I am the hollow now there is no doubt about that.” Henrik claimed to his siblings. “Here is the thing both of us want the lot of you to pay…for different reasons of course but vengeance is still strong on both sides.” “What the bloody hell do you want us to pay for Henrik?” Rebekah questioned her brother. “The hollow has clearly warped your mind if you want vengeance against your own siblings.” “I barely spent a decade breathing before I was taken by death, a death in which was permanent for far too long while my family moved on without me!” Henrik shouted furiously at his siblings. “Yet you were all made immortal without so much as a thought about bringing me back and yet the rest of you fought so bloody hard for everyone else but me!” “You were but a child when you died, we assumed you found peace Henrik.” Elijah replied, making it clear he did not mean to hurt his brother. “If we had known otherwise there is nothing, we would not have done to bring you back to us!” “Here’s the thing you did not and while you chose to forget all about me I watched as you used your immortality to torture and massacre the many squandering away any goodness within any of you and yet you all think you can just get some happy ending…one that I deserved!” Henrik argued with Elijah. “Okay we get it you died young and you’re pissed about it but brother you got the lucky end of that deal try spending a 1000 years being daggered whenever you so much as stepped in the wrong direction!” Kol chimed in, stating that nobody there was free from suffering. “Or having an uncontrollable blood lust that never goes away…” “Or spending 1000 bloody years being hunted by our own father purely because of his hatred which should have been aimed towards our cheating backstabbing bitch of a mother!” Rebekah added to the argument. “So, you died before us well lucky bloody you! You should be thankful you got to escape this wretched existence!” “We have all suffered many times dear brother, but we remain standing together…you do not have to stand against us Henrik you can still choose to stand with us.” Elijah told him, remaining somewhat level-headed in comparison to Kol and Rebekah. “This has been a thousand years in the making there is no chance of me stepping down until every last one of you get the payback you deserve!” Henrik revealed to them all, making it clear he had no plans of backing down. “Where are the Black witches?” Kol shouted, determined to find his missing friend. “Where are they Henrik?” “Home!” Henrik declared cryptically.

Dark Cosmic/Odyssey Flayn

IMPORTANT NOTE: This AU is divided in two different parts! They share a post because Odyssey is directly split from Dark Cosmic, so their lore is interconnected!

Summary: Former member of the Celestial Court, Flayn sacrificed her light to spare her Queen from getting taken by the Dark Star. Only a slither of sanity remaining in her broken mind, she wanders the cosmos aimlessly, fleeing the voices from the darkness that beckon her to join them as she desperately tries to hold on to her memories of the light. Refusing to bend to the shadows, Flayn seeks nothing more than eternal solitude; Away from the conflict and destruction that the Dark Star is trying to get her to revel on, unable to face her former allies due to the abomination she has become.

>Odyssey: Unable to resist the call of darkness any longer, Flayn followed Rhaast into the Ora gate and refused to look back. But the trip was not very smooth. Landing in an abandoned planet, there she finally found something that would silence the voices of the Dark Star… Ora. Developing a severe addiction to this power because it’s the only thing that managed to quiet down the calling, Flayn revels on it and travels through all of known space looking for more. Even though taking so much of it might result in even worse things happening to her mind… But as long as she stops hearing the Dark Star, that’s a price she’s willing to pay.

Personality: Aloof is a word that can easily describe Dark Cosmic Flayn. She always tries to keep her distance and remain as far away as possible from others, no matter her affiliation: The Cosmic Court because she can’t bring herself to approach them after her corruption, and the Dark Star Corruptants because being near them makes the call stronger and louder. So, she keeps herself tucked away in a tiny corner of the universe where she hopes nobody ever finds her, even though she knows it’s completely futile; The Dark Star can always sense her location anyway. In the case anyone manages to run into her though, she can react in many different ways. From complete indifference if it’s nobody she recognizes, merely telling them to leave and never return, to complete fear and despair if it’s someone from the Court or anyone she remembers. In the latter case, she’ll at best manage short conversations before trying to flee from them unless they successfully manage to calm her down, which is… Not an easy task to say the least, any traces of the Dark Star’s call growing stronger will drive her into a panic. Other than that, she’s a pretty passive being, content with staying in her spot and never moving, watching the stars and the galaxies move and do their thing until the call starts again, where she’ll start wandering to find a new spot.

>Odyssey: A total contrast to the above. Her Ora addiction has made her personality shift to a very aggressive and arrogant person, not much different from fellow Dark Star invader Rhaast. The difference being that while Rhaast seeks to reopen the Ora gate so the rest of their brethren can get access to this universe, all Flayn seeks is more Ora to fuel her growing craving, both for its qualities and the power it gives her. She’s a violent and dangerous individual, who will kill whoever she needs to kill and maim whoever she needs to maim if it means getting more Ora for herself. She’s not completely mindless though; She’s more than capable of rational thought and conversations, she just doesn’t display any sort of interest in the ongoing politics and conflicts going on in the Odyssey universe. All she cares about is getting her fix, and hey, if making alliances and contacts means she gets more of it, then she’ll gladly sell her services to whoever offers.

Affiliations: Dark Star (Unwilling, trying to resist), None (Odyssey)

Appearance: Quite probably the most different version from the original Flayn there is. Her hair is of a pitch-black coloration, small stars glittering on it constantly and her eyes are crimson tinted. Her sole clothing option is an ethereal robe, similar to the one worn by Lux, which covers her from shoulders to knees. In Odyssey, however, her eyes adopt an amber tone due to all the Ora she consumes; Other than that, they both share the exact same visage. (I am having quite a lot of trouble describing clothing here as you can guess)

Weaponry and Abilities:

Cosmic blade: Her sword, made from the remnants of dying stars and cosmic dust. It has two states:  Deactivated and Activated. When it’s deactivated it looks like nothing more than a bunch of rocks stacked on top of each other, barely being held together by the hilt. But when it’s activated her cosmic powers surge through it, making the blade glow with the Dark Star’s signature purple aura. The sword itself otherwise works like a regular blade. An absurdly sharp blade that’s capable of cutting through stars, but a blade regardless.

Star manipulation (Cosmic only): Due to being a Cosmic being, Flayn is capable of controlling stars to an extent. This power is strictly restricted to dying ones, aka: Shooting stars. She was in charge of leading them to their final resting place, and even while in the grasp of the Dark Star, she continues to do so from the tiny corner of the universe she hid herself in.

Ora absorption (Odyssey only): Quite probably the most dangerous ability of all due to how it affects her psyche: Absorbing Ora gives Flayn a massive boost to all her physical prowess’s, which were already high due to her Cosmic origin. However, as it was already stated, she has quickly grown addicted to it and It has turned her into a rather violent creature. It does have the side effect of quieting down the Dark Star’s call, though, so if you ask her it’s all worth it in the end.

Main tags:

━━ ❛ How can I carry on if redemption is beyond me? ❋  ◤ Dark Cosmic ◢

━━ ❛ Ecce Venio; Ego Primus; Et Novissimus ❋ ◤ Odyssey ◢

(Odyssey tag means “Behold, I am come, I am the beginning and the end” in Latin)

Other headcanons:

(Dark Cosmic)

>Jhin was the cause of her corruption, though he was not aiming for her at all. Rather, he was aiming for Ashe, but she took the shot for her and fell in her place as a result. Knowing Jhin though, he’s probably pleased by the result regardless.

>She cries a lot. Her tears resemble stars more than actual ones, though; They quickly travel through the cosmos and begin to slowly, but steadily form into real stars.

>Make no mistake: Even though she’s very passive and avoids interactions altogether, she’s still a very capable warrior. She just prefers to be alone and flees if things get too heavy for her to tolerate.

(Odyssey)

>Contrary to what you may think, she fully remembers everything from before she arrived through the Ora gate, from her fall to her previous life. She just doesn’t care anymore.

>She can go a maximum of three days without consuming Ora before she goes into withdrawal. During this period, she’s even MORE aggressive than before, if that’s even possible, and this lasts for an entire week before she simply reverts to her previous self. The one that’s being called by the Dark Star and is slowly being driven to insanity… Yeah, it’s up to you which one is worse.

>She has absolutely no interest in the other issues going on in the universe. Doesn’t care about Kayn, the Morningstar crew or anything else, all she seeks is Ora. However, she WILL pledge her allegiance to whoever offers her more of it, so that’s a possibility.
