The next day, Christy gently walks down the stairs and into the courtyard.

{Christy Outfit}

The Elder Goddess, Ismene, is sitting at the table, wearing casual clothes.

She and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"Aunt Ismene?" Christy said.

"Hello, Christiana." Ismene greeted her niece with a small smile.

"Did Klaus call you?" Christy asked, sitting at the table with her.

"He did. He's concerned about you." Ismene told Christy. "Besides, I am pleased to know that you two have reconciliation."

"Yeah, we have." Christy said. "Where is Klaus anyway?"

"He's with Elijah at St. Louis Cathedral with Freya." Ismene tells her.

"Charlotte Petrova is toying with Klaus. She knows that he's searching for her." Christy said.

"Charlotte is a smart mischievous woman." Ismene said.

"Yeah, she is." Christy said.

Ismene gets up and walks over to the mini-bar, getting herself a bourbon.

"Aunt Ismene? Why are you really here?" Christy asked, getting up and slowly walks over to her, creating a short distance.

Ismene turns around to look at Christy, taking a swig of her bourbon. "I'm pleased to see that you and Klaus have reconciliation. The two of you need each other. He loves you and you love him."

Christy and Ismene exchange looks at each other and Ismene drinks the rest of her bourbon in one gulp and gently sets down the emptied small drinking glass tumbler on the mini-bar counter.

"You know, our enemies know of Love. It can be used as a strength and a weakness." Ismene said. "Klaus may have had a terrible upbringing, but his love for you, Christiana, is what makes him happy. He remains connected to his humanity through you. He confides in you. And even when he's in danger, you come to his aid. You and Klaus relies on each other."

Ismene and Christy exchange looks at each other. Ismene goes to right punch Christy in her face, but Christy catches Ismene's fist in her hand.

Ismene uses her left fist to try and punch Christy, but Christy catches her Aunt's other fist.

The aunt and niece exchange looks at each other. Ismene small smiles at Christy with her strength and swift movements.

"Excel·lent, Christiana. Molt excel·lent." ( "Excellent, Christiana. Very excellent." ) Ismene spoke in the ancient Orasanian language.

"I had good mentors." Christy said with a small smile.

"Your mother, father, uncle and I taught you well in hand-to-hand combat." Ismene said, they gently pulls away from each other. "Your training at the Elite Academy did the rest."

"Aunt Ismene?" Christy said. "Why are you here?"

"You have a challenger in a hand-to-hand combat." Ismene tells her, and gently folds her arms. "From Takeshi's wife, Zoi."

"Why does Zoi want to challenge me?" Christy asked with a bewildered expression on her face.

"I do not know." Ismene tells her. "Her arrival at Mount Orasani will be in three days. You need to prepare yourself for hand-to-hand combat training."

"I can train at Marcel's gym." Christy suggested.

"Of course. Just contact me whenever you're ready." Ismene said.

"Alright." Christy said.

Ismene and Christy embraces in a hug and gently pulls away from the hug.

"Love you, Niecey." Ismene said.

"Love you too, Auntie." Christy said.

And Ismene teleports herself in a golden thunder strike.

FRENCH QUARTER CAFÉ

Later that day, Ana and Christy are sitting at a table with their paper food trays, eating chocolate covered churros.

"So, you're being challenged to fight?" Ana said.

"Yeah, I have to train for it too. And speaking of training . . ." Christy trailed off, taking out her phone. " . . . I'm gonna asks Marcel if I can borrow his gym."

Christy dials Marcel's phone and holds it up to her ear. And Marcel answers her phone.

"Hey, Christy." Marcel greeted her on the phone. "How are you?"

"I'm good, buddy. I wanted to ask you if I could borrow your training gym?" Christy asked Marcel on the phone. "I have a fight to train for."

"Sure you can." Marcel said.

"Okay, thanks, Marcel." Christy thanked him with a small smile.

"You're welcome." Marcel said.

Christy hangs up her phone and looks at Ana, who small smiles at her.

"What?" Christy said.

"You are so awesome." Ana said.

Ana and Christy exchange chuckles with each other.

ST. ANNE'S CHURCH -- MARCEL'S GYM

Later that late afternoon, Marcel and Christy slowly walks inside the training gym.

"I wanted to thank you again for letting me borrow your training gym, Marcel." Christy said.

"You're welcome. Must be a helluva fight that you're training for." Marcel said.

"Something like that." said Christy.

"Is it strange that I feel sorry for your opponent?" Marcel asked.

"Maybe." Christy replied.

"Yeah, well, you're gonna kick their ass." Marcel said.

Marcel and Christy exchange playful chuckles with each other.

ROUSSEAU'S

Kol and Christy are sitting at the bar counter next to each other with their small drinking glass tumbler of bourbon.

"I thought you were into ale?" Kol asked.

"I drink both bourbon and Ale." Christy said to her brother-in-law. "Have you and Davina thought about kids?"

"Well, not really no." Kol replied. "I'm an Original vampire and, knowing, vampires, they cannot procreate." said Kol.

"My best friend, Gia, is a vampire, and she was able to have Marion with an infertility spell granted to her by The Elders." Christy suggested, taking a sip of her bourbon.

"I appreciate the offer, but I'm happy with Davina and our blissful marriage." Kol said, taking a sip of his bourbon.

Kol and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"I know I've said this often, but Nik is lucky to have you in his life. His life will crash and burn without you. I've seen how Nik is without you, Christy. He tries to keep himself together for Luna and Trinity, but it bothers him." said Kol.

"Yeah." Christy agreed.

Kol and Christy gently clinks their small drinking glass tumbler with small smiles at each other and each takes a sip of their bourbon.

MIKAELSON
COMPOUND

That night, in the upstairs bedroom of Klaus's and Christy's, Klaus is painting on his canvas painting and Christy is pacing back and forth on her phone with Majordomo Theseus.

"Where the challenge fight will be, Theseus?" Christy asked.

"It will be held at the indoor gymnasium in the afternoon, Milady." Theseus tells her on the phone.

"Okay, my aunt Ismene told me that Zoi will be at Mount Orasani in three days, so, I'll be prepared." Christy said.

"Alright then." Theseus said.

"Okay, thanks, Theseus." Christy thanked him.

"You're welcome, Milady." Theseus said.

And Christy hangs up her phone and looks at her husband's, Klaus's, painting of a forest.

"Nice forest." Christy complimented.

Klaus glances at her with a small smile. "Thanks, it's for my next art gallery. But I can finish it another time."

"You could add a waterfall to it if you want." Christy suggested.

"I'll keep that in mind." Klaus said, gently sets down his painting materials on his desk.

Klaus and Christy exchange looks at each other.

"You told Ismene to come here this morning, didn't you?" Christy asked him.

"I did." Klaus tells her. "You two spoke?"

"We did." Christy said. "But thanks."

"You should probably get some sleep . . ." Klaus trailed off and slowly walks up to her. " . . . You should conserve your strength for your upcoming fight."

Christy gently cups his face with her hands. "Thank you."

"For what?" Klaus asked.

"For always being so supportive. Even if, you don't like it." Christy said.

"I'm your husband, I'm always gonna be supportive of you." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. They share a kiss and she gently removes her hands from his face and slowly walks away.
