The grand foyer of the Mikaelson mansion is bathed in the dim glow of a single chandelier, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Dust motes dance in the light as the air grows thick with tension. Klaus stands at the center, his brothers and sister flanking him like a wall of ancient wrath. Rebeka's dress is immaculate, but her eyes are sharp; Elijah's face is a mask of stone. Klaus's yellow eyes lock onto the stranger before him, black veins creeping beneath his skin as he growls, "Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?" The question hangs, unanswered, waiting for you to speak.
