MOUNT ORASANI

The next day, Ames and Christy are sparring with each other with wooden swords in the main room.

{Christy's Outfit}

Ames and Christy exchange sword swings at each other. And they stop sparring, panting softly to themselves.

"Thanks Dad, for sparring with me." Christy said to her father.

"You're welcome." Ames said. "But are you sure you're alright? As your father, I cannot help to be still worried about you?"

"I'm fine, Dad." Christy replied to him. "I saw Mom, grandpa, Maximus's Dad, Elias. They're with Anubis in the Ghost Spirit World."

"Well, I'm happy that you are yourself again." Ames said.

"Yeah, me too." Christy said.

"Well, you're getting a little better." Ames said to his daughter. "So, I've read your two books, 'The Prince and The Enchantress Book 1 and Book 2'. Are you gonna write again?"

"Yeah, maybe. And I've already started writing anew." Christy said with a small smile.

"Oh, really?" Ames said.

"Yeah, really. It's a romance, and I'm not gonna spoil it." Christy said.

Ames and Christy exchange small smiles and chuckles with each other.

OUTDOOR COURTYARD

Everyone is lounging around at the tables and chairs with their foods and drinks.

Christy is sitting at a table with her laptop, working on her new book. She takes a sip of her mug of latte.

Klaus slowly walks up behind her and gently puts his hands on her shoulders. "Another book, Love?"

"Yeah." Christy said, typing on her laptop.

" 'Beautiful Passion' ", sounds interesting." Klaus said.

"Thanks." Christy thanks her husband. And looks up at him. "And don't worry, it's a romance book, not about us."

Christy averts her gaze back at her laptop screen.

And Klaus slowly walks around from behind her and sits down at the table with her. "Luna and Trinity are with Tritocus at the training course."

"Okay." Christy said, and looks at Klaus. "And by the way, is "Chris" another nickname for me?"

"It is short for "Christiana" as well." Klaus said to Christy with a smile.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles and chuckles softly with each other.

Klaus's phone buzzes in his jeans pocket. He excuses himself and walks over to a pillar.

Klaus looks at his phone screen. Aurora de Martel is phone contacting him.

Klaus answers his phone. "What do you want, Aurora?"

"We need to talk. Where are you?" Aurora asked on the phone.

"I'm not at home and I'm with mg wife and daughters, goodbye, Aurora." Klaus said, and is about to hang up his phone.

"I'm pregnant, Nik." Aurora told him on the phone.

"You lie." Klaus said, annoyed, not believing her.

"We did spent a night together at my penthouse, did we not?" Aurora asked him. "We'll speak to each other when you return back to New Orleans." And she hangs up her phone.

Klaus becomes worried as he looks at Christy. If Aurora's pregnancy is true, he will lose Christy again.

Klaus puts his phone back in his jeans pocket and slowly walks back over to Christy and sits down at the table with her.

"Everything's okay?" Christy glanced at Klaus, while still working on her book.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Klaus reassured her with a small smile.

"Alright." Christy said.

"Can't wait to read your new book." Klaus said to Christy with a smile.

"Yeah, me too." Christy said.

Luna and Trinity slowly approaches their parents.

"Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad." Luna and Trinity both greeted their parents with smiles.

"Hey, guys. Had fun with Tritocus?" Christy asked her daughters.

"Yep, we did." Trinity said, gently wraps her arms around Christy's neck. "Luna and I even trained with crossbows."

"Sounds fun." Klaus said.

"Yeah, you can that Trinity and I have been upgrading our training skills." Luna said, gently wraps her arms around Klaus's neck.

"Well, I'm glad you guys had fun." Klaus said with a small smile.

"A new book, Mom?" Trinity asked, looking at the laptop screen.

"Yeah, it's a romance book." Christy said.

"Aww, so cute." Trinity said.

Klaus, Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange smiles at each other.

Luna plants a kiss on Klaus's cheek. And Trinity plants a kiss on Christy's cheek.

⚜️⚜️

That afternoon, Klaus and Christy slowly walks inside the big library where the Elder God of Knowledge, Tithonus, is reading books.

"Tithonus?" Christy said.

"You've been meaning to speak with me, Christiana." Tithonus said to Christy, and closes the book he's reading. "You seek knowledge of The Titans."

"I do." Christy said. "I've had glimpses of the Titans in their cage."

"Pahd Titans udjeve amde emos" ("The Titans will not be unleashed.") The Elder God Tithonus spoke in Orasani ancient language.

"Emes jadue?" ("Are you sure?") Klaus asked The Elder God, Tithonus.

Christy looks at Klaus and he looks at her with his typical grin. The husband and wife exchange small smiles at each other.

"I am certainly sure, yes." Tithonus said to Klaus. "And I am very impressive with your ancient language, Klaus Mikaelson."

"Thanks." Klaus thanked Tithonus. "I've been visiting the island Mount Orasani for a long while and I've studied the ancient language."

Tithonus nodded at Klaus with a smile. "And I also seek the Epirus Bow as well."

"Do you where it is?" Christy asked.

"Of course, but retrieving it will not be easy." Tithonus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

⚜️⚜️

CAVE

After Tithonus told Klaus and Christy the location of the Epirus Bow, they ventured inside a cave.

The Epirus Bow is hovering in the air above a stone.

"So, it's just there hovering there in midair?" Klaus said.

"It's a trap." Christy said to her husband. "There's something guarding it."

Klaus looks around for something on the floor. He picks up a stone and gently tosses it in the room.

A scorpion snarls, but it's invincible.

"Great. An invisible Scorpion guarding the Epirus Bow." Klaus said. "So, how do we defeat an invisible scorpion?"

"Don't know." Christy replied to her husband. "But I have an idea."

"You handle the invisible Scorpion and I get the Epirus Bow?" Klaus said.

"Yep." Christy said, and shape-shifts into her Fawkes-Phoenix form.

Christy in her Fawkes-Phoenix lunges at the invisible Scorpion, knocking over a vase of oil, making the big Scorpion visible.

Christy fights the Scorpion as Klaus scurries inside and takes the Epirus Bow and walks away.

The Scorpion slings Christy across the cave. And she hits the wall and lands on the floor.

Klaus looks at the Scorpion and uses the Epirus Bow to destroy the Scorpion. The Scorpion snarls as it disintegrates.

Christy shape-shifts back into herself with oil smudges on her face and clothes.

Klaus walks over to Christy, gently pulls her up to her feet and hey runs away with the Epirus Bow.

⚜️⚜️

That evening, in the main room, Ames wields the Epirus Bow in his hand.

"I'll put this in the artifact room." Ames said to Klaus and Christy. "How did you two defeat The Scorpion?"

"I distracted the Scorpion while Klaus took the Epirus Bow. And Klaus defeated the Scorpion by using the Epirus Bow." Christy said to her father, Ames.

Klaus and Ames exchange small smiles at each other.

"Has the Epirus Bow ever been used?" Klaus asked his father-in-law.

"Not really no, until you, Klaus." Ames said to his son-in-law. "We Elder Gods and Elder Goddess knows of the Epirus Bow. And Tithonus has the knowledge of the Epirus Bow."

"I've heard about the Epirus Bow in a book in the library." Christy said to her father, Ames. "Well, I'm gonna get cleaned up. Goodnight, Dad. Klaus."

Christy walks away and Ames and Klaus looks at her.

"Christy seems alright." Ames said.

"She does, but I'll keep an eye on her." Klaus said to his father-in-law.

"Alright." Ames said, and walks away with the Epirus Bow.

⚜️⚜️

Later on that evening, after Christy cleaned herself up, she slowly walks up to Luna's and Trinity's bedcover and opens the door and poked her head inside.

Luna and Trinity are asleep in their beds. Christy small smiles to her and after checking on her daughters, she closes the door and walks away.

⚜️⚜️

In Klaus's and Christy's bedchamber, Christy is sitting on the bed, cross-legged position and is working on her laptop.

Klaus's phone buzzes on the nightstand. Christy looks at his phone and looks at it.

Christy becomes angry as Klaus slowly walks inside the bedchamber and closes the door behind him.

"Christy?" Klaus said.

Christy looks at Klaus with an angry expression on her face, which Klaus notices.

"What's wrong?" Klaus asked.

"Aurora's pregnant?" Christy said to him.

And Klaus becomes worried about how ex-girlfriend's, Aurora's possible pregnancy would change Christy's somewhat behavior.
