WHAT A SHAME SHE WENT MAD, tvdu

𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐕𝐈 - 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭.

REBEKAH:     I am afraid we have made Maeve sound too kind...may I repeat that she only existed as an angel to family, to those she didn't care for she may have been the very devil herself.

MARCEL:     If you crossed her family, she would burn your kingdom down.

KOL:       She had the face of an angel but a mind of a killer.

Because of her soul being split between the realms, death has gained a stronger foothold on our realm.

And she is at the center of it, controlling it - something no mind has ever dared to dream of before.

DAVINA:      The magic she's created is impossible to be undone because she created the spell behind it.

But do feel free to try.

KLAUS:     If you hadn't already heard of her, now you have [smiles]

You are quite welcome.

FREYA:      We created a spell together, the one that allowed her to store her memories for anyone to view.

That is how this book was able to have been written.

REBEKAH:      She was always five steps ahead of everyone else.

And every loophole has been accounted for.

ELIJAH:       Two years ago we dealt with this nasty little business of the hollow...it seemed that separating a powerful creature's soul into four bones but not relaying onwards what magic those bones held was quite stupid.

Maeve seemingly had known of the weaknesses in a plan like that and thus no one knows where each part of her soul lies.

Not even herself.

ENZO:      She had this unique grin, halfway a smile and halfway a threat.

I'm sure each of you will become familiar with it as your time in this realm draws to a close.

MARCEL:      You should never trust a survivor until you find out what they did to stay alive, you do know that don't you?

Especially when it comes to an oath of death.

KLAUS:     We survivors are often violent creatures and have lived as much for a thousand years.

REBEKAH:     Each of us are a product of the world we were raised in.

So it is natural that Maeve's intention as the goddess of death is to protect us from death itself.

MARCEL:     The world made her mad, they led her to become the Goddess of Death.

Simply because she wanted more to life than war for her family, and because she had the power to become something far grander than herself.

KOL:      She could've lived for another millennium had she held on.

BONNIE:     But perhaps it wasn't a bad thing she went mad, after all Hope Mikaelson can now be raised in a peaceful world. Or at least she won't live with constant enemies attacking her because of her name.

ELIJAH:      We all can, from Klaus to Hayley to Ace and Hope and everyone in between.

ENZO:      The whole family can create the legacy they have dreamt of, the legacy she dreamt of.

REBEKAH:     And it is all because of her.

DAVINA:      She gave her life so we could have ours.

CAMI:      We can never thank her for what she's done but what we can do is ensure that she is never forgotten.

That the world will forever know her name.

Yet not as the Original Heretic or the Mad Woman, or even the Goddess of Death but Maeve Mikaelson.

HAYLEY:     This family is now untouchable, because of Maeve and everything she was.

ELIJAH:      Nature had come to burn our kingdom down but we are the dynasty that will never end.

KLAUS:      We will forever reign supreme.

MARCEL:      Everyone wants to rule the world, but only very few can: Maeve Mikaelson was one of those few, is one of those few.

FREYA:     For those who may have been plotting to come after us or really for those who aren't one us it has become, allow this to serve as a warning.

ME:       What a shame she went mad.
