Episode-21
FRENCH QUARTER PARK
Josh was wearing sunglasses and sitting outside on a park bench with Davina, who looked worried.
Josh continued to ramble happily, "Have I told you that you're awesome? 'Cause you are! I'm with the sun..." He looked at the ring on his hand, "Daylight rings..." He noticed a cute boy running and checked him out, "That guy jogging in a tank top..."
Davina, distracted by her thoughts, spoke up, "Josh?"
Josh questioned, "Hmm?"
Davina spoke up, her tone serious, "Now that you have a ring, I think you need to leave town."
Josh looked at her wide eyed as he took his sunglasses off, "Whoa! Wait, we're breaking up?"
"I'm serious!" Davani frowned.
Josh spoke up disbelievingly, "I know! Serious is kind of your default setting. Which is why you need me around to lighten you up! Ergo-- not leaving."
Davina looked past Josh and noticed Mikael, standing on the sidewalk across the street. She was startled, but when she tried to look again, he was gone.
Josh noticed Davina's distracted state and turned to see what she was looking at, behind him.
He asked, concerned, "Hey, you okay?"
Davina smiled tightly, "Just witch stuff. Marcel came to me yesterday. He wanted a cloaking spell. He's going to make a move against Nikole. A big move."
Josh frowned, "Wow, okay. Guess he forgot to call me. Rude! Did you help him?"
Davina nodded as she sighed, "Yes, because I didn't want him to get killed, but if Nikole finds out, then--
Joshed looked at her reassuringly, "Hey! Look, if Marcel's got a plan, maybe Nikole will buy a clue, realize she's a negative on the popularity chart, and go into vampire retirement? I hear Palm Springs is nice!"
Davina worriedly looked over to where Mikael's ghost was standing, but he wasn't there.
"Nikole isn't the only thing we need to be afraid of."
Josh frowned in confusion.
"Look, if there's a war coming, promise me you'll go before you get caught up in it." Davina looked at Josh in concern.
Josh smiled sadly and nodded in agreement.
THE MIKAELSON COMPOUND
In Nikole's study, she had given Genevieve the pages of Esther's grimoire that contained the moonlight ring spell.
The witch examined it as Nikole watched.
"Your mother's spell is as complicated as it is elegant. She was clearly a very gifted witch." The witch stared at the parchment, impressed.
Nikole snatched the page from her hand and pointed at it, "Is this the bit, here?"
Genevieve snatched it back as she rolled her eyes, "Hey! Like I said, it's complicated. She bound protection magic to black kyanite stones. A werewolf with the stones is free from turning on a full moon."
Nikole raised her brows, "And what of the improvements?"
"This spell will enhance speed, strength, and agility." The witch smiled.
"There should be something in there about fangs, it's what our mother used on us when she turned us into vampires." Nikole stated as she informed her.
