The air in the damp facility hung heavy with the scent of burning vervain, a torment designed to break the Mikaelson brothers. Klaus and Elijah lay bound in adjacent cells, their bodies trembling from the venom’s grip, pride shattered by their capture.

He slammed his fist against the wall, cracks spiderwebbing under his force. “Stay calm, brother,” Elijah breathed, sweat matting his hair. Suddenly, a croaking voice echoed from down the hall. Both vampires turned, recognition dawning in their eyes as they saw the figure across from them. They knew this person.
