Whispers To The Wind

Rumours of the sacrificial activity had sprung up between some of the residents of the French Quarter but they were quickly silenced just as quickly as they started yet whispers remained. Whispers, although faint voices in the wind, still have a way of travelling the breeze and this particular whisper was carried on a strong current, travelling New Orleans and leaving with tourists who listened well and were lucky enough to survive Marcel's parties along with being careful enough to survive 24 hours the next day. Despite being whispers they continued to travel far, drawing in more tourists and travelling beyond America soon arriving at the ears of a rather noteworthy person, someone who knew this hush of a whisper was far more than a rumour or false tale but held actual legitimacy.

The ears of this noteworthy individual belonged to a tall blonde haired man with blue eyes deep enough to drown the most lost of souls and skin untouched by the harsh hands of Father Time. The man wasn't built but looked as if he treat his body well and had spent time working out, he sat on a mat in the midst of meditation when the news arrived, traveling from America all the way to Japan and delivered by no other than the queen of hell herself, Katherine Pierce, somewhat alive and kicking, looking vampirically fierce as always. The man remained silent while he got up to leave seemingly already ready for a departure.

Katherine and the man were quick in arriving in New Orleans leaving the mystery in the air as they travelled to the French Quarter followed by a truck carrying just as much mystery as those leading it. Instead of going to The Regent in regards of such a mystically matter the man took a small trip to a ritual site that was flowing with The Hollows magical energy, in which the man left to inspect the site followed by the two suit-wearing truck drivers who stood with him as he searched the grounds of the site. This was a quick activity as the man had been knelt down upon finishing, standing to quietly address the men and then returned to the Porsche he had left Katherine in, he then followed the essence back into town where it grew strongest at the Mikaelson estate but split off towards and beyond the bar taking a single path onwards from there.

Rather than following these paths the man decided to purchase a close by home fitting of Katherine's royal status, following the purchase of the house, the men who had accompanied Katherine and the man began to set up posts around the house bringing in more men to guard the house and other men to help them settle in. While this process was being undertaken the house was visited by the neatly dress Elijah Mikaelson who had been directed to the front door by the guards at the gate but not let in and so after a gentle knock the door was answered by Katherine who stood in the doorway grinning at who was opposite her "Well if it isn't Elijah Mikaelson, what brings you to my door" seeing Katherine at the door made Elijah an attempt to enter as he spoke "My family has recently returned here, drawn here in regards to my brother's recent problems concerning his daughter but I noticed you come into town and was hoping to see if stories of your death were true or mere exaggerations " Elijah's attempt to enter were halted as he had not been invited in but he still continued his conversation "It seems the tales of your demise were false" to this Katherine smiled "The Queen of hell doesn't go down so easily and a Petrova always survives" Elijah was puzzled for a moment but before he enquire about the whereabouts of Cade he was interrupted by a calm and soft yet deep voice coming from behind Katherine who opened the door wider and revealed the equally formal dressed man "Greetings, Elijah, please come in" and so Elijah did as requested, following behind the man to a partially constructed living room.

The living room was comprised of two couches and a dining table at which the trio sat "I heard you were wishing to know the welfare of my dear Katerina" the man asked as he was handed a cup of tea, sipping it slowly "That is so but it seems my question has been answered and I must now ask who you are and how you know me" Elijah responded kindly gesturing not to have a drink "To answer your question I shall put it simply, my name is James Salvatore and I'm a friend of your family from your past but if you wish for me to elaborate I'm willing to in the company of your siblings as my tale is something I wish them all to hear as Kol and Rebekah have already done so" this was James' answer as he got up and returned to organising his house before Elijah could ask anything else but before he fully immersed himself in his work James with one sentence "The Hollow is a syphoners power so be careful of it.
