Chapter 15: The Princesses

2x01

[At REBEKAH'S HOME, Rebekah is telling Ophira and Hope a story just before bed. She tells the story in voiceover as the scene cuts through various flashbacks to the previous season, including Klaus standing on the balcony overlooking the French Quarter, Francesca and her brothers attacking the vampires after stealing the moonlight rings and triggering their werewolf curses, Genevieve making the moonlight rings, Klaus being weakened by the rings, which draw on his strength, and Hayley mourning Hope and Ophira's "death" at the memorial for the fallen in the Battle of New Orleans]

REBEKAH: [voiceover] Once upon a time, there was a majestic king who lived with his noble brother in a kingdom where music and art were celebrated. The king did not foresee having a children, but he lived in an enchanted land where all things were possible. In time, he was blessed with a beautiful baby daughters, for whom he wished only peace.

[Hope coos and Ophira smiled at Rebekah happily, and Rebekah smiles at her]

REBEKAH: [voiceover] Still, the king had demons who pursued him. There was a ruthless beast who wanted to take the kingdom for her own. Armed with a pack of untamed creatures, she drove the other magical creatures from the land. And, there was a wicked sorceress with enchanted stones that weakened the king every full moon. Seeing the shadow his enemies cast upon his home, the king was driven to send his beloved princesses away, convincing all who remained that they was forever lost.

[At the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, Elijah locks the front gates to the home so it is no longer open to the public]

REBEKAH: [voiceover] The king, in his sorrow, turned away from the world. The castle closed its doors, and the kingdom fell. Some say that the only light that shines in the castle illuminates the shadow of the once majestic king in the room meant for his children. But, as the ruthless beasts took rule over the fallen king's realm, little did they know that he and his brother would not rest until their enemies were vanquished. For they believed that one day, they would heal their kingdom and bring their precious princesses home so that they might live happily ever after.
