ST. LOUIS CATHEDRAL -- BELL TOWER
In the bell tower, Mathias is sitting at the table with a map. He sprinkles some black sand on the map, performing a locator spell to find the Dark Queen Nylora Le Roux.
Freya slowly walks into the bell tower where and looks at her husband, Mathias.
"Anything yet, Mathias?" Freya asked.
"Not yet." Mathias replied and looks up at her. "Nylora probably cloaked herself."
"Klaus is right, we should be careful. Nylora can transform herself into anyone, even one of us." Freya tells her husband.
"That's creepy." Mathias said.
"Yeah, I know." Freya said, sitting at the table across from him. "There's some good news though, Christy has awakened."
In which Mathias small smiles at. "That's good. Has Klaus seen her?"
"He wants to, but he wants to handle Nylora first." Freya said.
"You know, whenever Christy isn't around or she's away on something, her emptiness is like a void that only she can fill." Mathias said.
"Yeah, she can." Freya agreed. "Even now, with her not here, but she's gonna be okay."
Mathias and Freya exchange small smiles at each other.
"Alright then, let's try to break these cloaking spells and keep performing locator spells." Freya said.
"Okay, then." Mathias said.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- MEDICAL INFIRMARY
Later that day, after some convincing from his brother, Elijah, Klaus makes his way to his wife's, Christy's, infirmity room. He opens the door and slowly walks inside and looks at his wife. He gently closes the door behind him and slowly walks over to the window blinds and gently opens them, letting the sun illuminate the room.
Christy still wears her infirmary gown with her bruises and scrapes.
Christy stirs awake and looks at Klaus. "Hey, Honey."
Klaus looks at her and she small smiles at him.
"Hello." Klaus greeted her back with a small smile.
"How are you?" Christy asked.
"I'm fine now that you're awakened." Klaus said. "Elijah convinced me to come here to see her. Seeing you now, brightens my mood."
Christy chuckled softly. "You're always in your mood."
"What's the last thing you remember?" Klaus asked.
Christy thinks to herself. "I was at the Ceadian Kingdom. Ceadian Queen Anastasia. She and I fought. And she tried to choke me with her spiked gloved hands. And you got her off of me and I must've passed out."
"Elijah and I tagged along with Theseus along with 20 imperial battalions to come and get you from the Kingdom of Ceadian." Klaus tells her. "After we brought you back here to Mount Orasani, we escorted you to the medical infirmary. Nurse Giannis sedative you."
"How long was I in sedation?" Christy asked.
"Two days." Klaus replied. And slowly walks up to her and sits on the bedside. "We were really concerned about you."
"Are Luna and Trinity okay?" Christy asked.
"They're fine. I told them both that you're awake. They can't wait to see their mother." Klaus said.
"What's going on in the French Quarter?" Christy asked.
"Do you remember Nylora Le Roux?" Klaus asked.
"The evil queen bitch who possessed me and made me attack you guys, yeah, I do." Christy replied.
"Well, as it turns out, she's back from the dead." Klaus told her.
In which shocks Christy. "What? How?"
"We don't know, she suddenly, just came back." Klaus said.
"Was it Marcalos?" Christy said.
"That thought crossed my mind." Klaus said. "But I don't think the Underworld Elder God had something to do with Nylora's sudden resurrection."
"Do we still have the athame?" Christy asked.
"We didn't think that we needed it so, we destroyed it." Klaus said.
"Oh. Right." Christy said with a knowing look on her face. "Can Mathias or Freya make a weapon or an athame?"
"Yeah, probably can." Klaus said.
The door opens. Majordomo Theseus slowly walks into the infirmity room.
"Theseus?" Christy said.
"Hello, Sire Klaus. Milady Christiana." Theseus greeted both with a small smile. "I am pleased to see you well."
"According to Nurse Giannis, I'm gonna be recovering for a while." Christy said. "She wants to make sure that I'm 100% okay before I'm discharged from the medical infirmary."
"Well, I cannot wait to see you out and about again." Theseus said. "And by the way, our quarrel with Ceadian King Vlachellis and Queen Anastasia is over and done."
"So, it's all over?" Christy said.
"It's all over. You are no longer in trouble with the Venetians. The case has been dropped. And you no longer have a target on you." Theseus said.
Theseus, Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.
"Thanks, Theseus. For everything. Even though, I didn't ask, but you really came through for me." Christy said.
"Christiana? You mean everything to me and everyone else here at our home island. You're an amazing woman. I praise your boldness, bravery and your courage." Theseus said.
"I appreciate that. I'll find a way to repay you somehow." Christy said.
"No need, just focus on getting better." Theseus said.
"Theseus?" Klaus said, getting up and slowly walks up to him.
Theseus and Klaus exchange looks at each other.
"Thank you for coming through for my wife and for all the help you've provided." Klaus said, offering Theseus his hand. "Thank you."
Theseus gently takes Klaus and two gentlemen does a handshake. And they gently pulls away from the handshake.
"You're welcome. You are blessed to have an amazing woman that would fight for her family and friends." Theseus said.
Klaus small smiles. "Yeah, I do."
"Aww, you guys are making my heart melt." Christy said with a playful tease.
Theseus and Klaus exchange chuckles with each other.
"I will see you around, Christiana." Theseus said.
"You too, Theseus." Christy said.
And Theseus opens the door and walks away, closing the door behind him.
Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.
⚜️⚜️
That late afternoon, Luna and Trinity had came over and hugged their mother, Christy. So, three of them are eating takeout food with their forks. Luna and Trinity are sitting on either side of their mother on the bed.
"These shrimp and noodles are really good." Trinity said.
"I know, that's why I love them so much. And Hagarth is an amazing cook with his own kitchen staff at his tavern." Christy said.
Christy, Luna and Trinity exchange chuckles with each other.
Luna looks at her father, Klaus. "Dad? You're not hungry?"
"I'm fine, just looking at my three favorite girls enjoying each other's company." Klaus said.
"So, it's all over. Mom isn't in trouble with the bad guys anymore." Luna said.
"Yeah, it's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders." Christy said.
Klaus's phone buzzes in his pants pocket. He takes out his phone and looks at it.
Elijah :
I know you're with Christy, I need you to return back home.
"Everything okay, Klaus?" Christy asked.
"Everything's fine." Klaus said, and puts his phone back in his pants pocket. "I have to return back home. Elijah needs me."
"Okay, you should go, I'll be fine." Christy said.
Klaus looks conflicted about leaving.
"Klaus? I will call you. I'll be fine." Christy said. "Go and be with Elijah.
"Alright." Klaus said.
"Love you." Christy said.
"Love you too." Klaus said and walks out of the room, and gently closes the door.
