She stands up with Faye and walks over to the crib. 'Still the king had demons who pursued him, there was a ruthless beast who wanted to the kingdom for her own... Armed with a pack of untamed creatures, she drove the other magic beings from the land and there was a wicked sorceress with enchanted stones that weakened the king every full moon...' She pauses and lays Faye down in her crib and puts the little knight near her and she's smiles at Rebekah happy, and she continues, 'Seeing the shadow of his enemies that cast upon the home, the king was driven to send her beloved princess away, convincing all who remain that she was forever lost, the king in his sorrow turned away from the world, the castle closed it's doors and the kingdom fell, some say the only light that shines in the castle that illuminates the shadow in the once mighty king in the room meant for his child, but as the ruthless beast took rule of the fallen kings realm, little did they know that he and his brother would not rest until there enemies were vanquished, for they believed for one day they would heal their kingdom and bring their princess home, so that she may live happily ever after.' Rebekah turns off the light and goes to her room.

Elijah walks into the building and says to the four men behind him, "Authentic cast dine columns and look at that, the original blue way forge filled by a charcoal furnace, Martin Elam has been very nicely indeed." The gentlemen's glares at him as he continues, "I'm with the Cities Preservation Society, and we've invested in this building to be protected." One of the guys responds and says, "This place is a dump, the Guerrera family would be doing us a favor!" He looks at him shocked and sees the ring that he's wearing and it has the black aconite stone in the middle and he looks back at him and takes a step forward and says, "Well unfortunately by the Preservation act of 1966, we cannot allow the Guerrera's to demolish one of the cities originals architect even if it is noble and distinguished such as the Casino..." He pauses and points towards the door for them to leave and says, "Thank you Gentlemen, and do give my best to Francesca!" He smiles and they leave.

*The Compound-Klaus's Studio*

Klaus is frustrated and has artist block and he grabs the canvas and throws it across the room and it lands at Elijah's feet. Elijah picks it up and comments, "Artist Block?" He turns to him and says, "I'm missing a crucial color in my palate." Elijah puts the canvas down on the floor next to the other three and walks over to him. Klaus continues and says, "That of my enemies blood." Elijah suggests with smile, "I recommend a Ran Shia red with a dab of rust?" Klaus responds and complains, "It has been a month, I've heed to our plan, sit and do nothing. Sell our grieve, Claire has given birth to her daughter, 'Tatianna Kaine.' "And now Faye is safely away and another full moon is upon us, another night of pathetic weakness as the moonlight rings steal my damn strength! Elijah it is killing me, I need-I need to act out, I need to spill blood!" He responds and says, "Brother, you'll be pleased to know that I've located the last of the 12 rings forged with your blood!" Klaus smiles and says, "Then it's time!" Elijah responds and says, "And none to soon, I'm concerned bout Caroline!" Klaus turns away from him and says, "She looks well enough." Elijah responds and says, "She looks no better than you brother! Now the two of you have just treated each other as more than just passing acquaintances!" Klaus turns to him and says, "She has you to help her!" Elijah looks at him shocked and disappointed in him and sighs, "Sadly like the father of her child she prefers to fight her demons alone!"
