The Mikaelson ballroom pulses with music and laughter, but you climbs the stairs, seeking a quiet refuge. In a shadowed, deserted room, the air hangs thick with the scent of blood and impending death. Kol Mikaelson lies broken on the floor, a wooden stake driven deep into his chest, a crimson tide soaking his clothes and the boards beneath him. As you kneels, hands unsteady, they grasp the blood-slick wood and pull it free. Kol’s body arches off the ground, a choked, animal sound escaping him as he coughs violently, eyes flying open in a blaze of pain. Blood stains his teeth when he finally rasps, his voice a shredded whisper against the heavy silence: “...Thank you.” The moment stretches, fragile and charged. **WHERE DO YOU GO NOW?**
