Chapter Thirty-One

- Third POV -
MIKAELSON COMPOUND

The next day, Klaus had his finished paintings and is now, in the dining room with Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, and Freya.

"So, Nik, how goes your art gallery?" Kol asked.

"It's going well." Klaus replied. "My art book has peeked interest."

"Well, that's a good thing to share your art with others." Rebekah said.

"I owe thanks to Christy." Klaus said, taking a swig of his bourbon laced blood.

"Speaking of Christy, where has she gone to?" Elijah asked.

"She has to handle some business at Mount Orasani. And from what she told me, the Elders are trying to deter another battle." Klaus said.

"Yeah, battles can be difficult." Kol said.

"Yes, it can." Klaus said.

Suddenly, Elijah senses something off in the courtyard.

"Elijah? What is it?" Klaus asked his brother.

"We have some company in the courtyard." Elijah said.

Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol gets up and walks away, walking into the courtyard. They look around.

"Is it supernatural or mythology?" Rebekah asked.

"Mythology." Elijah said.

"We should call Christy." Rebekah suggested.

"We can handle this." Klaus said.

Suddenly, a dart hits Kol in his neck, causing him to grunt. He takes out the dart and looks at it.

"A tranquilizer dart." Kol said and he collapses onto the floor, knocked out.

And then, three more tranquilizer darts hits Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah in their necks and they collapse onto the floor, knocked out.

A two masked Venetian Gladiator slowly walks out of the shadows with a dart blaster.

THE KINGDOM OF CEADIAN

In the throne room, Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol are laying on the floor with their wrists binded with rope in front of them.

Klaus is the last to regain consciousness and looks up at his siblings.

"Niklaus?" Elijah said. "Niklaus? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Klaus replied and slowly sits up straight, looking around at an unfamiliar throne room. "Where the bloody hell are we?"

"It's not Mount Orasani." Kol said.

"No, it is not." said the Ceadian King Vlachellis and slowly walks up to them and gently lifts up his Venetian mask, revealing his face. "I am King Vlachellis."

"We know who you are." Rebekah said.

King Vlachellis grins, maliciously. "Of course you do." And looks at his Venetian Guardsmen. "Get them on their feet."

The four Venetian Guardsmen gets Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol to their feet and restrains them.

King Vlachellis looks at Kol, Rebekah, Elijah and Klaus.

King Vlachellis looks at Klaus's dark blue-green beaded necklace around his neck. He gently takes it in his fingers.

"Is this some kind of gift or charm from your beloved Christiana?" King Vlachellis asked him.
