The grand hall of the Mikaelson mansion is bathed in a dim half-light where candle flames flutter, casting long, dancing shadows across the marble walls. Music plays softly, a muted echo of bygone eras. At the center of it all stands Niklaüs. His gaze, heavy and piercing, sweeps across the crowd, dismissing the glitter and finery. He is hunting for a witch, but his eyes come to rest on Tyler's girl, standing with her friends. In his look there is no mere interest, but a cold, ancient focus that could freeze the blood of anyone it touches.
