Luna and Trinity playfully chuckles with each other. And Luna uses her wolf-speed to catch Trinity by her waist. The two sisters exchange playful chuckles with each other.

"Got ya, Little Squirt." Luna said.

"You got me." Trinity said, looking up at her older sister.

"You two are having fun." Klaus said, slowly walking out of the ballroom.

"Yeah." Luna said to her Dad, sitting on the fountain with Trinity sitting beside her. "Where did Mom go? She went back to Mount Orasae?"

"Yeah. She did." Klaus said, sitting down on the fountain beside Luna and Trinity.

"Are you okay, Daddy?" Trinity asked him, worriedly.

"Yeah. I'm fine, sweetheart." Klaus said. "Are you two bored?"

"Yeah." Luna and Trinity said in unison.

"But Trinity and I do spend some time with Josh, Jessica and Amy. But yeah, maybe, Trinity and I are a little bit bored." Luna said.

"But the last time Luna and I were at Mount Orasae, Maximus said that Luna and I can hangout at the training course at Mount Orasae." said Trinity.

"Sounds like fun." Klaus said.

"Can we go, Dad?" Luna asked him.

"Of course." Klaus said.

"Yay." Luna and Trinity said in unison.

"But I'm going with you." Klaus said.

"Okay." Trinity said, getting up to her feet and walking away.

"Dad?" Luna said, causing Klaus to look at her. "Are we in trouble with Marcalos?"

"Yeah. We are." Klaus said.

Afterwards, Klaus, Luna and Trinity had packed up their duffel bags to go to Mount Orasae. Luna and Trinity gets on the private jet.

"Family trip?" Elijah asked.

"Luna, Trinity and I are visiting Christy at Mount Orasae for a little while." Klaus said to Elijah. "I trust you can handle things until we return."

"I will handle things from here, Niklaus. Just be with your family." Elijah said.

THAT AFTERNOON AT MOUNT ORASAE after arriving and the autopilot private jet landed in the meadows, Klaus, Luna and Trinity gently walks up the stairs and into the foyer.

[Christy's Outfit]

Christy slowly walks into the foyer. She, Luna and Trinity exchange smiles at each other.

"Hi, Mom." Luna greeted her Mom with a smile.

"Hey, guys." Christy said. "There's food and pastries in the dinning room."

"Okay." Trinity said, gently taking Luna's hand, scurrying away.

Klaus and Christy exchange smiles at each other and shares a hug.

"How are you?" Christy asked her husband, gently pulls away from the hug. "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine." Klaus reassured her. "Although, I have Marcalos's carved "M" on the side of my neck, but I'll be fine."

"And speaking of Marcalos's carved "M", we need to talk about it." Christy said.

⚜️⚜️⚜️

In the main room, Nadia, Klaus and Christy are sitting on the curved sofa.

"Is there anyway that Marcalos's M can be removed from Klaus?" Christy asked her Mom.

"Marcalos is a dark sorcery. After losing his wife, Lorena and his League of Warriors, he's become unhinged and sociopathic. And for Marcalos's carved M, he will manipulate Klaus into doing what he wants." said Nadia.

"So, I'm gonna be Marcalos's puppet?" Klaus said with a straight face.

"For a while, yes." Nadia said. "Klaus, you have a darkness within you, and Marcalos will use it, but you have also changed."

"Is there a way to removed my carved M?" Klaus asked.

"Marcalos has to remove it myself, Klaus. It's his dark sorcery magic." Nadia said to him.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other, gently holding each other's hands.

That afternoon, Luna and Trinity are playing around in the meadows, collecting flowers.

Dimitri and Celia joins them and kneels down beside their granddaughters, collecting more flowers.

At the waterfall, Klaus and Christy are looking at them with small smiles.

"Luna and Trinity are enjoying themselves." Klaus said with arms folded.

"Yeah. They are." Christy replied.

"According to what Nadia said about this M on the side of my neck, I will be under Marcalos's dark magic influence." said Klaus and looks at Christy. "I will try to hurt you or anyone else."

"I know, Klaus." Christy said to him. "But what Mom also said about you've changed. You have me, Luna and Trinity, and the guys."

Klaus and Christy slowly walks over to the waterfall.

"This waterfall is nice." Klaus said.

"Yeah. I know." Christy said, pulling her ankle boots, revealing her bare-feet, and gently leaps into the water. "Come along, Klaus. Get your feet wet a little."

"Are you sure there is not any piranhas?" Klaus asked, playfully teasing.

"Why? Are you scared?" Christy asked, playfully teasing him with a smile.

Klaus rolls his eyes, mildly annoyed, pulling off his boots, revealing his bare-feet, gently leaping into the water. "And to answer your question, Christiana . . . he said, slowly walking up to her. ". . . I'm frightened of nothing."

"Oh, please, everyone's frightened of something." Christy said, slowly walking away from him. "Insects . . . The dark . . . scary things."

"What are you frightened of?" Klaus asked, slowly walking up beside her.

"Losing my family." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange worried looks at each other. And he gently lifts her up in his arms, bridal style.

"Oh, wow. Such a gentleman you are." Christy said to him with a smile.

"Do not get use to it." Klaus replied with a small smile. "Besides, I've had women in my life."

"Yeah. I bet." Christy playfully teased him. "You're quite the charming handsome man. And you should know, Maximus and I were betrothed to each other."

Klaus looks at Christy, and gently drops her in the water, drenching her. And he slowly walks away.

"I was just playing teasing." Christy said.

"I know." Klaus said, proceeding to slowly walks away.

Christy gets up and slowly walks after Klaus, gently wrapping her arms around his neck. And the husband and wife exchange playfully chuckles with each other.

That evening, after her shift at Rousseau's, Sophie Deveraux slowly walks outside of Rousseau's and slowly walks away.

"Hey, Sophie." Freya greeted her.

"Hi, Freya. How are you?" Sophie asked.

"I'm fine. I would asks for a drink, but you're shift is quite over." Freya said.

"It's fine." Sophie replied with a small smile. "Is there something you need?"

"Not really no, I was just taking a stroll, and wanted to say "Hi" to you." Freya said.

"Okay. I'll see you around." Sophie said, slowly walking away from Freya, but stopped walking and looks at Freya again. "By the way, Freya, you're gonna be a mom."

Freya looks at Sophie, astonished, by what Sophie has just told her. "I'm gonna be a Mom."

Freya and Sophie exchange smiles at each other. And Sophie slowly walks further away from Freya.

"Hello, Sophie." Marcalos said to her.

Sophie stopped walking and looks at Marcalos. "You're Marcalos. King of the Underworld."

"You know of me." Marcalos said.

"Christy talked about you. And a Minotaur just showed up in the Lafayette Cemetery." said Sophie.

"Yes, I know." Marcalos said, slowly walks up to Sophie, putting two fingertips on her forehead, thus, inflicting his dark magic upon her. "Give my regards to Christy." and disappears into dark gray smoke.

Sophie starts to bleed out from her eyes, nose, ears, and coughs up blood from her mouth and she slowly falls onto the ground, dead.

"Sophie?" Freya said, slowly walking up to her, and becomes worried. "Sophie?"

Freya kneels down beside Sophie Deveraux's dead body, cradling Sophie in her arms. "Oh my gosh, Sophie." And pulls out her phone, and dials her husband's, Mathias, phone.

"Hi, Freya." Mathias said on the phone.

"Mathias, it's Sophie." Freya said to her husband on the phone. "She's dead."

"Goodnight you guys." Christy said. "I should be getting some sleep too." and gets up to her feet, slowly walking away.

"It's 10:00 pm." Klaus said.

Christy smiles to herself, glancing at Klaus. "Goodnight, Klaus."

"Goodnight, Christy." Klaus said.

Mathias magically shows up in the main room. He and Klaus exchange looks at each other.

"Mathias?" Klaus said, slowly getting up to his feet.

"Hi, Klaus. Where's Christy?" Mathias asked.

"She just went to sleep." Klaus said to Mathias. "Why? What is it?" He asked, becoming concerned.

"It's Sophie. She's gone." Mathias said to Klaus, gloomy.
