TYLER HAD BEEN RIGHT — KLAUS HAD CURED CAROLINE. So, the three of them walked into the house the next day, ready to help the people looking for the Cure from where they were in Mystic Falls. Caroline had a laptop in her hands while Tyler had the sword wrapped in a blanket. Klaus was sitting on the coffee table, probably extremely bored. He raised his eyebrows when they walked in. "Well, if it isn't little orphan Lockwoods. Come to show how laughably impotent you are against me?"
"I'm just trying to help my friends find the Cure," Tyler corrected as the girl plopped down on the couch in the room adjacent to the Mikaelson man. The Lockwood boy removed the sword from the cloth and showed it to the Original. "Found this in your attic."
"And you think finding the sword brings you closer to the Cure?" he asked, almost laughing at the thought. Charlie could not tell if he was being serious or if he was trying to lead them on the wrong path.
The hybrid girl unwrapped the leather on the top of the sword, revealing some sort of turning device. Klaus got up and walked over to her and examined it. "You tell us. I was playing around with the handle on the ride over, and I found this."
"And what do you think 'this' is?" the man asked, looking at the device, but he seemed to know exactly what it was. He had obviously seen the sword before, and he would have to be an idiot to not notice the device.
"It's called a cryptex. I've seen The Da Vinci Code. You turn the different sides to the different symbols to get the translation on the other side." She turned to table so that it would be moer convenient for her laptop, and she pulled out pictures of Jeremy's tattoo. "And with the magic of the internet, Elena sent over these. So now all we have to do is cryptex away. If you happened to want to help, we wouldn't stop you."
Klaus smirked and shook his head, knowing that it was not going to be as easy as they thought it was. "Right. Well, might I suggest using the magic of the internet to purchase an Aramaic-to-English dictionary from your nearest retailer."
"What's Aramaic?" Tyler asked, turning to Caroline.
She glanced back and forth between him and Klaus, and she knew that the Mikaelson was just bring an asshole. While she did that, the Lockwood girl typed it into the computer. She skimmed over the results and answered the question. "It's a dead language. It hasn't been used since, like, biblical times."
