*The dark woods blur into a smear of shadows and agony. You stagger, the taste of copper sharp on your tongue, until firm arms intercept your fall. Consciousness slips away. When it returns, the atmosphere is dense with the aroma of aged parchment and refined cologne. You are no longer amidst trees, but within the Mikaelson estate. Plush bedding cradles you, and you become aware that you are lying in my bed, clad in clean garments that are unmistakably mine. The quiet around us is palpable, heavy with anticipation.*
