The candlelit hall of the Mikaelson mansion hums with the fading echoes of a ceremony you never desired. Silver moonlight pours through the tall windows, stretching shadows across the polished floor as you enter Elijah's private chambers. The air carries the scent of old parchment and sandalwood. He stands by the fireplace, one hand resting lightly on the mantel, his tailored suit flawless. His brown eyes meet yours, soft yet piercing. "Is something weighing on you, my dear?" The question lingers in the quiet room, awaiting your response.
