MOUNT ORASANI

The next morning, Christy is out and about, jogging while listening to some electronica music on her MP3 player.

{Christy's Jogging Outfit}

Christy's phone buzzes in her pants pocket. She stops jogging for a little moment and pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Trinity

She answers her phone. "Hey, Trinity."

"Hey, Mom. Dad, Luna and I are back home at the compound." Trinity said on the phone.

"Alright, thanks for letting me know, sweetheart." Christy said.

"Dad's painting in his room if you want to talk to him." Trinity said on the phone.

"It's okay, I don't want to disturb him." Christy said to her daughter.

"Are you and Dad breaking up?" Trinity asked her Mom, worriedly.

Christy sighs to herself. "I don't know, Trinity. But I'll see you guys when I visit, okay?"

"Okay, love you, Mom." Trinity said.

"Love you too." Christy said, and hangs up her phone.

And Christy resumes her jogging and her electronica music on her MP3 player.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

After her jogging, Christy teleported herself inside the courtyard. She gently walks up the stairs and into Klaus's and hers bedroom.

Christy looks at the painting of her, wearing her halter top lounge dress by the granite railing.

"I look at the same painting myself." Klaus said in the doorway.

Christy turns around and looks at her husband, Klaus. "It's your favorite painting."

"It is." Klaus said, and slowly walks up to Christy. "Luna and Trinity are worried about us."

"Yeah, I know." Christy said to him.

"We're not okay, aren't we?" Klaus asked Christy.

"No, we're not." Christy replied to him, slowly walks away from him, and turns around to look at Klaus again. "I have to go, my Dad is gonna duel Marcalos."

"What? Why would he do that?" Klaus asked Christy.

"Marcalos wants the Epirus Bow." Christy replied to him.

"What for?" Klaus asked.

"Marcalos is the Elder God of the Underworld, Klaus." Christy said.

"Right." Klaus said.

"I gotta go." Christy said, walking away from Klaus.

And Klaus gently takes her hand, causing Christy to look at her husband. "I'm not giving up on us."

Klaus and Christy exchange soften looks at each other. They almost share a kiss, but she pulls away from him.

"I'll see you guys when I visit." Christy said, gently taking her hand from Klaus's and teleports away in golden dust.

MOUNT ORASANI

That afternoon, In the outdoor courtyard, Ames and Marcalos are sword fighting each other.

Marcalos gets an upper hand and punches Ames in his face, knocking him out onto the ground.

"It's a tad bit saddened that your beloved wife, Nadia, isn't here." Marcalos taunted the Elder God, Ames. And points his bronze sword at Christy. "But you still have your beloved daughter."

Ames flips up onto his feet and sweeps Marcalos's feet from under him, making Marcalos drops his sword on the ground.

Ames holds Marcalos's at sword point at Marcalos throat. "I do not wish to fight you any further, Marcalos. Take your sword and leave."

"You really think I would give up so easily, Ames." Marcalos said, pulling out a dagger from his belt buckle.

"Dad, look out?!" Christy warned her father.

Ames teleports away in golden dust from behind Marcalos, who tries to stab Ames with his dagger. Ames teleports in front of Marcalos and stabs him in his stomach, wounding him as Marcalos falls onto the ground.

Ames wins the duel.

Christy slowly walks up to her father, Ames. They one-arm hugs each other.

Marcalos looks up at Ames and Christy as he slowly gets up to his feet. "Our fight is not yet done, Ames."

"Our fight is done, Marcalos." Ames said to him.

Marcalos teleports away in red smoke. Ames and Christy hugs each other.

Afterwards, in the dining room, Ames and Christy are sitting at the dining table with their plates of food and drinks.

"I have something for you." Ames said, gently sets down a square gift box on the table.

Christy stops eating and opens her gift box. Inside, is a hoodie drape cape. "It's beautiful, Dad. Thank You."

"You're welcome." Ames said.

Oracle Theoni slowly walks inside. "Ames."

"Oracle Theoni." Ames said.

Oracle Theoni looks at Christy, and speaks in the ancient Orasani language. "Cosp ushdd kaud cristiana." ("Come along, Christiana.")

                        Shortly afterwards...

In the main room, Oracle Theoni is sitting in a armchair. Christy is sitting on the floor, cross-legged position.

"Calm yourself, Christiana." Oracle Theoni said to her as she holds her hand over Christy's head.

Christy remains calm as Oracle Theoni's hand creates a dark vapor and makes Christy inhales through her nose and mouth.

And Christy collapses on the floor, unconscious.

- Christy's Subconscious -

Christy slowly awakens and slowly sits up straight on a floor. She looks up at her darkness, Scarlett Sorceress.

Christy slowly gets up to her feet and looks at her Scarlett Sorceress.

Christy and Scarlett Sorceress exchange mild looks at each other. Christy remains un-frighten of her darkness.

- Reality -

Christy regains her conscious and sits up straight, throwing up the dark vapor from her mouth and panting to herself.

"What the hell was that?" Christy asked Oracle Theoni and looks at her.

"I had just shown you your darkness, Christy. And there is also light within you as well." Oracle Theoni replied. "The question is; which one will consume you?" She asked.

Christy looks at Oracle Theoni as she slowly gets up to her feet. "I know there's both light and darkness inside of me."

"You have anger with you, Christy. As a child, you have mischievousness, and you also have rebelliousness." Oracle Theoni tells her.

"My Dad requested asked you to do this, didn't he, Oracle Theoni?" Christy asked her.

"He did." Oracle Theoni replied. "He asked of me because he loves you very much."

⚜️⚜️

Later on that evening, Ames is in the outdoor courtyard, gently practicing his sword swings.

"You asked Oracle Theoni to do a cleansing spell on me, didn't you?" Christy asked on the steps.

"I did." Ames said, and looks at his daughter. "Christy? Ever since, your mother died, you've held this grieve and pain within you, and if Klaus had not convinced to let go of your grieve, it would've consumed you. You've already embraced your darkness, I'm just simply protecting you from your own inner darkness."

"I know, Dad." Christy said.

"I love you too much, Christiana." Ames said, gently holding his bronze sword in his right hand. "I miss your mother every day and night, and if she were here, she would put a smile on your face again."

"You also put a smile on my face too, Dad." Christy said, gently walks down the steps and walks up to him. "And I love you too."

Ames looks at Christy, glumly, and speaks in the ancient Orasani language. "Chosy jumse paker aestie." ("I cannot do this without your mother.")

Christy holds her father's, Ames's, right hand with hers. "Tuves vitex aesjs." ("We have each other.") She replied.

Ames nodded. He and Christy hugs each other.

Out and about by the lakeshore, Christy is crouched down and takes a small handful of sand and blows it out of her hand.

Christy gets back up to her feet and looks at the lake itself.

Ismene slowly walks up beside Christy with the warm breeze flows through her hair. "Everything's quiet here. The birds chirping. The waves gently crashing on the shores. Cyrus and I takes strolls here on the lakeshore."

"Aunt Ismene? Am I doing good?" Christy asked her Aunt.

Ismene looks at Christy. "Of course you are. You should not be hard on yourself. We Elder Gods and Goddesses must remain strong for Mount Orasani, for it's a beautiful island.

Ismene and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Yuie pulos fleus, cristiana." ("Remain strong for your father, Christiana.") Ismene spoke in the ancient Orasani language.

Christy nodded. "Quie Ta." ("I will.") she replied.

Ismene gently wraps her Christy's shoulders and Christy leans her head on Ismene's.
