ONE WEEK LATER

- Third POV -

The next day, at Zenith's and Thalia's monastery, Thalia is in the training duel room, sparring with her five League Masked Hooded Rogue Ninja men and women warriors.

Thalia spars with each of her Ninja warriors using their swords, dodging and blocking each other's sword attacks.

Thalia is successful and stops her sparring session.

"Very good. You're dismissed." Thalia said to her Ninja Warriors.

The five League Masked Hooded Rogue Ninja warriors sheathes their swords and bows at her.

Thalia bows at them and they walks away.

Thalia hears a noise of a wing flap from the main room.

Walking out of the training room and into the main room, Thalia looks at her husband, Zenith, The Vampiric Elder God.

Zenith is looking at the lit fireplace and makes his big black feathered wings gently spreads out.

"I always do love your feathered wings, Zenny." Thalia said to her husband.

"I know you do, Thal." said Zenith in his English accent, still looking at the lit fireplace as he talks to his wife. "I can assume that Damien and Irene are at the Camp Orasani with the other children group?"

"They are." Thalia replied and slowly walks up next to him. "It's been one week since Christy has been gone."

"I know." Zenith said and makes his feathered wings turns back into his winged tattoos. "Klaus must be barely keeping himself together. He tries to remain strong for the sake of his daughters."

Zenith and Thalia exchange soft looks at each other.

"I cannot imagine my life without you or our son and daughter being parentless." Zenith said to his wife.

Thalia gently cups her husband's, Zenith's, face with her hands. "You and me, Zenny, we have each other to rely on. I love you."

"As I love you." Zenith said.

Zenith and Thalia shares a passionate kiss and she walks away.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI / GRAND HALL

Later that day, The Elder God, Ames, and Klaus are at his art gallery, looking at visitors as they admire Klaus's canvas paintings artwork.

"There will be a formal charity gala here in the Grand Hall this afternoon." Ames said. "Will you be there, Klaus?"

"Elijah will make sure of it." Klaus said.

Ames stopped walking and so does Klaus. They exchange looks at each other.

"I can sense your sadness, Klaus. I miss my daughter as much as you do. And she would want to move forward with your life." said Ames.

"I know." Klaus said.

Ames gently puts a reassuring hand on Klaus's shoulder and speaks in the ancient Orasanian language. "Oλα θα πάνε καλά, γαμπρέ μου." ("Everything will be alright, my son-in-law.")

"Xéro." ("I know.") Klaus spoke in the ancient Orasanian language.

Ames and Klaus exchange small smiles at each other.

"How about something to eat?" Ames asked.

"Sure." Klaus replied.

Ames and Klaus exchange another small smiles at each other and walks away.

Later that afternoon, The Lady Oracles; Oracle Theoni, Arija, and Isa gently removes the lid from the stone coffin.

But Christy's dead body is gone.

The Oracles Theoni, Arija, and Isa exchange worried looks at each other.

"Looking for Christiana?" said The Underworld, Elder God, Marcalos.

Oracle Theoni, Arija, and Isa turns around to look at Marcalos.

"Where is Christiana's body?" Oracle Theoni asked.

Marcalos just grins, maliciously.

In the main room, Christy stirs awake and finds herself laying on a chaise lounge, wearing her golden gown and a cardigan.

{Christy's Golden Gown
Outfit}

Christy sits up straight in a seated position and looks at her inner right forearm where she has a Mark of Marcalos "M".

Knowing that she doesn't have much time, she becomes worried.

"My husband has given you 5 hours, Christiana." The Elder Goddess and Queen of the Daemonites, Persephone, told her.

"5 hours?" Christy said, bewildered, getting up to her feet.

"You're not an evil person." Persephone told her. "So, I suggest you make haste and run off."

Persephone and Christy exchange tense looks at each other. And Persephone vanishes into a flame.

Sensing Marcalos's presence in the Grand Ballroom, Christy runs away.

GRAND BALLROOM

That late afternoon, everyone is at the charity gala with the men dressed up in their formal fancy tuxedos and the women are dressed up in their formal fancy dresses.

Men and women caterers has hors d'oeuvres and goblets of red wine and champagne.

But the gala party, however, has been paused due to Marcalos.

"What a nice little gala party." Marcalos said, looking around at everyone. "And I wasn't invited, what a sad thing." He added, nonchalantly.

Marcalos looks at Klaus, who's wearing a usual dark tieless suit.

"Klaus Mikaelson? Where's your beloved wife, Christiana?" Marcalos asked, taunting the Original Hybrid. "Oh, yeah, that's right, she's dead. I killed her with a spiked mace."

But Klaus remains unfazed by Marcalos callous taunt.

"You need to leave now, Marcalos." The Elder Goddess, Ismene, told him.

"Why don't you make me leave?" Marcalos asked.

Suddenly, Marcalos is slung by a blue electric energy blast, causing him to fly backwards and smash into a decorated table.

Everyone looks at Christy and becomes surprised as she scurries inside the grand ballroom, panting softly to herself.

Christy then, looks at Klaus, who looks at her, stunned to see his wife again as herself and not as a spirit.

"Christy?" Klaus said.

"Klaus." Christy said to her husband.

Klaus slowly walks up to her and gently caress her cheek with his hand. "How is this possible?"

"Marcalos resurrected me." Christy said, looking at Marcalos.

Klaus then, gently takes Christy's right arm and looks at her inner right forearm where the Mark of Marcalos "M" is.

"Klaus? I don't have much time." Christy told him, gently puts her hands on his chest. And Klaus looks at her. "I just wanted to tell you --"

But Klaus cuts her off, not wanting to lose this short moment he has with her. "You can tell me afterwards."

Klaus and Christy exchange soft looks at each other as he gently caress her cheek with his hand.

Marcalos looks at both Klaus and Christy as the passionate short moment they have together.

Klaus and Christy nearly shares a kiss, but suddenly, she feels herself getting hot as she collapses into Klaus's arms. He gently holds her as they both falls on the floor and she starts to turn red and steams from her body.

Which makes Klaus becomes worried.

Marcalos laughs, maliciously. "You're 5-hours are up, Christiana?!"

Klaus glares, angrily, at Marcalos, and gently holds Christy in his arms.

"Your time is up?!" Marcalos exclaimed, transforming himself into his winged demonic-horned Devil self.

Everyone gasps, worried. Marcalos uses his dark powers to make Klaus fly backwards away from Christy and Marcalos uses his wings to fly towards Christy, grabbing her by his tail.

"Klaus?!" Christy exclaimed to her husband as Marcalos flies off with her, bursting through the double doors and flaps away.

Klaus gets back up to his feet and runs after them. Ames and Cyrus follows him as well to rescue Christy from Marcalos before he teleports himself and Christy to his Underworld Palace.
