One year had passed. And the French Quarter is calm as usual. Non-ordinary persons are out and about, enjoying themselves with food, freshly baked pastries, drinks, and entertainment in Bourbon Street and the Jackson Square.

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

A 10 year old Nikole scurries into her parents, Mathias's and Freya's bedroom, with her teddy bear.

"Daddy." Nikole said to her Dad, gently crawling up onto the bed. "Wake up, wake up."

Mathias tiredly wakes up and looks at his daughter. "Hi, Nik." He greeted with a smile.

"Hi, Daddy. Mommy has breakfast in the downstairs courtyard." Nikole said.

"Alright, I'm coming." Mathias said, slowly sits up straight with the bedcover covering the lower half of his body.

"Yippee." Nikole said, and walks away.

Now, downstairs in the courtyard, Freya, Luna and a 13 year old, Trinity, are sitting at the table with their plates of breakfast food.

"Happy birthday, Squirt." Luna said to her little sister, Trinity, playfully putting her finger in her ear.

Trinity becomes annoyed, and takes Luna's index finger from her right ear. "Quit it, Luna."

"I thought you would've gotten used to my playfully teasing, Trin." Luna said.

"I have." Trinity said. "Is Mom coming?" She asked.

"Of course, she is." Klaus said, slowly walked up to Trinity, and plants a kiss on her forehead. "Happy Birthday, sweetheart."

"Thanks, Dad." Trinity said, glancing up at him and eats her scrambled eggs.

"So, what do you want to do, birthday girl?" Mathias asked.

"My Mom said that she was gonna train me when I turned 13." Trinity said with a small smile. "And so, I'm 13, and Mom hasn't shown up yet. I'm worried about her."

"She's gonna show up, Trinity." Freya said. "Christy wouldn't miss your 13th birthday. And speaking of birthday, I'm going into the French Quarter. I'll be right back."

"Alright." Mathias said.

Mathias and Freya shared a kiss and Freya walks away.

Marcel, Josh and Gia shows up with gift bags.

"Happy birthday, Trinity." Marcel said.

"Hi, Uncle Marcel, Josh, Auntie Gia." Trinity said.

Out and about in the French Quarter, Freya walks out of the gift shop with a birthday gift bag in hand.

Freya then, notices a Raven bird atop of a street pole. The Raven bird looks at her and it's eyes glow purple.

Becoming worried, Freya walks away, walking back to the Mikaelson Compound.

In the ballroom, Klaus, Elijah, Freya are talking about the Raven bird that she saw.

"I saw a Raven bird. And according to Christy, she said that the Raven is connected to an vampiric Elder God named Zenith." Freya told her brothers, sitting on the sofa.
