ZENITH'S AND THALIA'S MONASTERY

The next day, Zenith, Thalia and Christy are playing with Luna, Trinity, Damien and a 10-year old Irene on the beach shore.

{Christy's Outfit}

Damien is playing chasing after his little sister, Irene, who has a beach ball in her hands.

Damien grabs his little sister by her waist and gently spins her waist. "Got ya, Little Bear."

"You got me, Older Bear." Irene said to her older big brother, Damien.

Damien and Irene exchange playfully chuckles with each other. Zenith gently tosses the other beach ball to Christy and she scurries off with it.

Luna and Trinity scurries after their mother, Christy, and playfully tackles her with them exchanging playfully chuckles with each other.

From the patio, Klaus is looking at his wife and daughters playing ball with Zenith and Thalia with their children.

Klaus and Christy exchange small waves at each other. She hands the beach ball to Trinity and walks away.

Christy slowly walks up to her husband, Klaus. "Luna and Trinity are having some fun with playing beach ball, you can join at anytime you want, you know."

"I know, but seeing you and our daughters have fun and smiling. It makes me happy." Klaus said to Christy with a small smile.

"Afterwards, Zenith, Thalia, and I are gonna go inside for breakfast, and then, we're gonna come back outside for some more beach ball." Christy said to Klaus.

"Sounds like fun." Klaus said to her. "But with Mikael, Elijah and I won't rest until he's handled."

Christy nodded in understanding. "Okay, just be careful with Mikael. He has his ways of getting to you."

"I'm always careful with Mikael. He's already deceased. Marcalos just resurrected him to mess with me." Klaus said. "I appreciate you checking on me, Love, but I'll be fine."

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. She pecks a kiss on his forehead and walks away from him.

Christy rejoins Zenith, Thalia and the kids, resuming playing some more beach ball.

After-awhile, Zenith, Thalia and Christy are sitting at the picnic table with their breakfast food and a plastic pitcher of orange juice.

"Where did your hubby, Klaus, go off too?" Thalia asked Christy, eating on a crescent roll.

"He and his siblings needed to handle something." Christy told her,

"The Mikaelson's are always handling something." Zenith spoke in his English accent. "Do they ever get a breath of fresh air?"

Christy snicker softly to herself. "Not really no. I mean, they barely do. But whenever the Mikaelson's try to take a breath of fresh air or to move on, something else pops up."

"Yeah, something always pops up." Thalia said.

"By the way, Zenith? Thalia? You guys heard of the relic artifact, The Squinox?" Christy asked.

"Yeah, of course." Zenith replied.

Christy looks at Damien, Irene, Luna and Trinity as they continue to play with the beach balls.

"Zenith? Thalia? You guys are good parents." Christy complimented.

Zenith and Thalia small smiles at Christy. "Don't get softie on us, Christiana."

Zenith, Thalia and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

Later on that day, Zenith, Thalia, Christy, Luna, Trinity, Damien and Irene are playing some more volleyball with a beach ball with each other.

From afar, Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Kol and Freya are looking at them.

"I've always been envious of Christy. She's a good mother. A wife and kids. She's happy." Rebekah said.

Kol looks at Klaus. "Shouldn't you be with your wife and children, Nik? I mean, You already know that Christy is gonna persuade you?"

"I don't want to ruin the fun time." Klaus said.

"You're not gonna ruin it, Nik." Rebekah said. "Your wife and children is more important than our father dearest, Mikael."

"Hey, Dad." Trinity greeted her father, scurrying up to him.

"Hi, sweetheart." Klaus greeted.

"Mom is asking for you." Trinity said.

"Fatherly duty summons you, Niklaus." Elijah said.

Trinity walks away with Klaus walking after her. Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and plays volleyball with the beach ball.

"He went to Mount Orasani to train with the Orasanian Warriors." Gia replied, sitting beside Christy at the table. "And we're having a dinner date at St. James Infirmary when he gets back."

"Thanks, Odessa." Christy thanked her. And glances at Klaus and Gia. "Odessa? Meet my husband, Klaus? And my best Gia? Klaus? Gia? Meet Odessa. The Elder Goddess of Luck Fortune."

"Fortune? Like, cash?" Gia asked, bewildered.

"Absolutely." Odesa said. "I always win. Sometimes, I let others win to be fair."

"I assume that you're not selfish or greedy." Klaus said.

"No. I am not." Odessa said to Klaus. "When my opponent loses a game, I give them 3 more chances to play again. And if they do not a win, I reward them with a little something for their chances."

"Oh, wow. How generous of you." Gia said.

"I know." Odessa said.

"I have two daughters now." Christy said.

Odessa, Klaus, Christy and Gia exchange small smiles at each other.

"So, this is your palace casino?" Klaus said, glancing around at the palace casino itself, along with the other casino players. "It's really big."

"It is. And I also live here as well." Odessa said. "So, are you three interested in playing a casino game?"

"We're just visiting, Odessa." Christy said.

Odessa small smiles as she slowly walks over to a table. Klaus, Christy and Gia sits across from her. A barmaid serves them cocktail drinks.

"So, how do you and Christy know each other?" Gia asked, taking a swig of her cocktail drink.

"Christy was here, drinking a cocktail when she was supposed to be at home." Odessa told Gia.

"I was 23 years old. I was stealthy around looking for something or anything to thievery." Christy said.

"I caught Christy trying to take a gem necklace. She told me she was gonna give me back to me. And so, I played her for it." Odessa said.

"Odessa won, obviously. But she rewarded me a few coins." Christy said.

Odessa and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"So, what brings you three here to my palace casino?" Odessa asked.

"Just visiting." Christy said.

"I've heard so much about you, you know. The legendary Christiana." Odessa said. "And you guys can visit at anytime you like. And there are plenty of suite rooms here as well."

"Thanks, Odessa." Christy said.

"Svensen Odoray." ( "You're Welcome." ) Odessa spoke in ancient language.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That night, after Klaus and Christy taken Gia home, Christy is in Klaus's and hers bedroom. She sits on the edge of the bed, and gently pulls off her boots and footie socks.

"I can't believe you wear footie socks." Klaus said, slowly walks inside.

"You know, I don't walk around the house barefoot. And besides, wearing footie socks keeps my feet warm." Christy said.

"Luna and Trinity are asleep." Klaus said, sitting on the edge of the bed and gently reclines. "I assume that volleyball game with a beach ball drained their energy."

"Yeah." Christy said.

Christy's phone buzzes on the bed beside her. She picks up her phone and looks at it.

Odessa

Christy answers her phone. "Odessa?"

"Hello, Christiana. It's me, Odessa. I'm phone calling you from my telephone." Odessa said on the phone.

"It's good to get a phone call from you." Christy said to Odessa.

"Yeah, and I wanted to say again that it was good seeing you. I'll chat with you whenever I can." Odessa said.

"Okay, sure." Christy said.

And Odessa hangs up her telephone.

"I'm gonna get some sleep." Christy said, and gets up, walking away.

"Chris?" Klaus said.

Christy stopped walking and turns around to look at him.

"I'm glad we're okay." Klaus said to her. "After everything we've been through together, I'm happy that we have each other's backs and we're okay."

"Me too." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and she walks away.
