ZENITH'S AND THALIA'S MONASTERY

The next day, Zenith, Thalia and Christy are in the study, looking through books.

{Christy's Outfit}

"There's a Sphinx building outskirts in the desert." Zenith said in his English accent, sitting at the desk.

"Yeah, I had glimpses of it and the ancient tablet. And those two are connected." Christy said, sitting on the sofa.

"What, exactly, did you see when you temporarily trapped in the Sphinx?" Zenith asked Christy, sitting atop of the piano.

"I saw a big hole in the middle of a dimmed room. But I can sense something down there in the darkness of that hole." Christy said.

"We have to go back to the Sphinx." Thalia said.

"Good idea." Zenith said, gently leaping off the piano. "Thalia? You remain here."

"I'm not gonna remain here." Thalia said, getting up and slowly walks up to her husband, Zenith. "I'm coming along."

"Something might be in the hole. Something very dangerous." Zenith told his wife.

"I do dangerous." Thalia said to him, giving her husband, Zenith, a look. "I'm not some flower or a delicate piece of glass."

Zenith rolls his eyes, annoyed. "Alright, fine."

"Thank you, Z." Thalia thanked him with a annoyed smile.

"Lovebirds." Christy said to both Zenith and Thalia. "You can annoy each other later."

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

Zenith, Thalia and Christy are in Zenith's car. He's driving. Thalia is sitting in the passenger's seat. And Christy is sitting in the middle of the backseat.

Christy's phone buzzes in her jeans pocket. She pulls out her phone and looks at it.

Video Chat: Trinity

Christy answers her phone. "Hey, Trinity."

"Hey, Mom. What are you up to?" Trinity asked on the video chat.

"I'm with Zenith and Thalia. We're checking out the Sphinx." Christy told her youngest daughter. "What are you up to?"

"I'm in the courtyard, sitting at the table, eating a bowl of cereal." Trinity told her Mom on the video chat.

"Where's your father and sister?" Christy asked.

"Dad is doing his usual painting and Luna is painting too." Trinity replied.

"Okay, I'll see you guys when I get back home." Christy said.

"Okay, love you, Mom." Trinity said on the video chat.

"Love you too, sweetheart." Christy said.

And Trinity hangs up the video chat.

THE SPHINX

Zenith, Thalia and Christy slowly walks inside the dimmed hallway as the torches ignites itself.

Zenith, Thalia and Christy slowly walks inside the dimmed room where the big hole is.

Christy crouches down on the edge of the big hole and looks up at Zenith and Thalia. "Do you guys have a glow stick or something?"

"Not really no." Thalia replied.

Christy makes her eyes glow blue, creating an electrical blue orb and gently drops it in the big hole.

The electrical blue orb stops itself as it reaches the end of the hole.

Zenith and Thalia crouches down beside Christy.

"Do you guys see anything?" Christy asked them.

"I think so. We need a closer look." Zenith said.

Zenith gently puts his hands on Christy's and Thalia's shoulders and teleports both away in purple smoke.

Now, in the big hole itself, Zenith, Thalia and Christy looks at a sarcophagus.

"It's a sarcophagus." Zenith said.

"But what's in it?" Thalia asked.

"Or who?" Christy asked, and slowly walks up to the sarcophagus and looks at the cuneiform inscription. " 'He who shall not be awakened.' "

"Good idea. Now, we know what's down here in the big hole. Let's not disturb the sleeping person and get the hell out of here, please?" Thalia said.

And Zenith, Thalia and Christy teleports away.

ROUSSEAU'S

That afternoon, after driving back to New Orleans, Zenith, Thalia and Christy are sitting at a table with their drinks of bourbon.

"A man is inside that sarcophagus. The sarcophagus looks ancient." Thalia said, taking a sip of her bourbon.

"I sensed his magical powers." Thalia said.

"So did I." Christy said, taking a sip of her bourbon. "But I have an uneasy vibe that someone's gonna open that sarcophagus."

Zenith, Thalia and Christy exchange worried looks at each other.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Later on that afternoon, Christy is in the kitchen, making herself a grilled cheese sandwich in a cooking pan.

Klaus slowly walks inside the kitchen. "Hello, Love."

"Hey, honey." Christy greeted her husband.

Klaus then, sees a Manila envelope on the kitchen countertop. "What's this?"

Christy glances at the Manila envelope. "Don't know." She said.

Klaus opens the Manila envelope and slides out a parchment paper with information on the ancient Emperor Junius.

"Who the bloody hell is Emperor Junius?" Klaus asked, confused.

"Don't know." Christy replied, finishing cooking her grilled cheese sandwich. "What does it say about him?"

"The information about him says that Emperor Junius was Emperor of his kingdom. All was good and well until his wife, Sora, became very ill. Junius made a deal with the Elder God Marcalos. He would restore wife's health if he would become his right hand man. Emperor Junius accepted the deal. And therefore, Sora's health was restored."

"But there's always a catch with Marcalos." Christy said, knowingly, taking a bite out of her grilled cheese sandwich.

"You're right about that, because after Sora's health was restored, Emperor Junius was cursed a few weeks later and turned into a zombie creature thing." Klaus told Christy.

"He did it for love, Klaus." Christy said.

"I know. If it were you, I would do the same thing." Klaus said to Christy.

"I know." Christy said.

Klaus and Christy small smiles at each other. He takes a bite out of her grilled cheese sandwich.

Klaus and Christy exchange chuckles with each other.

- 3RD POV -

At the Sphinx, Persephone slowly walks up to Emperor Junius's sarcophagus and opens it, revealing a slumbering zombie-like Emperor wearing a hoodie cloak.

Persephone hovers her hand over the zombie-like Emperor and chants a spell to awakened him.

"Majaus naloe palsess." ( "I awaken you. Arise." )

Persephone stops her spell. And the zombie-like Emperor Junius gasps awake.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

That evening, in Klaus's and Christy's bedroom, Christy is sitting on the bed, crossed-legged position, playing a acoustic melody on her wooden guitar.

Klaus slowly walks up to her and sits down in the sofa chair. "You've gotten very good with your guitar."

Christy small smiles at him. "Yeah, I have." And stops playing her guitar and gently sets it down on the bed beside her. "Luna and Trinity are asleep?"

"They are." Klaus told her.

"I know I've apologized for it already, but Klaus, I'm sorry for dragging you into my mess. I never meant for you or anyone else to get involved." Christy apologized to her husband.

"It's alright. And besides, I would've gotten involved whether I liked it or not." Klaus said to her.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other. And she gently lays down sideways on the bed.

"Do you ever sleep?" Christy asked her husband with a small playfully smile.

"What crazy question is that?" Klaus asked her with a bewildered look expression on his face.

"Relax, I'm just playfully teasing you." Christy said to her husband.

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