Nobodies POV

Smoke rolls through the street of Mystic Falls. Crows caw, sending chills down the spines of the people in Mystic Falls. The streets filled with a eerie silence, but as the sun rose so did it's residents.

An ordinary day in mystic falls.

Under the streets of this mysterious town, lays a body, still as stone.

It was a women. Everything about the women was beautiful, her hair was white as snow and it would capture anyones attention but if she were to open her eyes, there is no doubt those eyes are her best feature.

Her name was Daenerys. Many would say her name fits her, strong but rolls gracefully off someones tongue. Danaerys was strong in nature but graceful in stature. A women in form but a warrier at heart.

As water falls from the cave walls, Daenerys continues to lay still. A sad and lonely fate...

A duo walks through the tunnels not far from the still body, but far enough.

Elena and Alaric are walking through the tunnel in the cellar.

"So, the Lockwoods really have no idea that these tunnels are underneath their property?" Elena ask "Careful where you shine that thing. Bats hate the light." Alaric says "Wait, what?" Elena ask

Damon secretly comes up and whispers behind her.

"Elena!" Damon whispers

She turns around and sees him.

"Boo!" Damon whisper yells

She jumps from fright.

Elena gasps "Ah! God, Damon!" Elena yells "Scaredy-cat!" Damon says "Just ignore him. That's what I do." Alaric says "So, you really can't get in?" Elena ask

"No. Seems even the ancient Lockwoods were anti-vampire." Damon says "What do you mean, ancient?" Elena ask "See for yourself." Damon says gesturing around.

They walk further into the tunnels, to the cave with drawings on the walls.

"Well, this is as far as I get to go." Damon says

Elena enters the chamber and shines her flashlight on the walls with the drawings.

"What is all this?" Elena ask "Well, as far as I can tell, it's a story. In simple, archaeological terms, it's a really, really old story. [points at the wall] That right there, is the moon cycle." Alaric says and points at another drawing.

"A man, a wolf. A werewolf." Elena says staring at the drawings "Yeah, it's the Lockwood Diaries: Pictionary-Style." Damon says

"I don't understand. I thought the Lockwoods came here with the Original Founders in the 1860s." Elena says "I don't know. Maybe the Lockwoods did, but according to this wall, these werewolves have been here a lot longer than that." Alaric says

"How long?" Elena ask "Long. It gets better. Show her, Ric." Damon says "Names. They're not native. They're written in Runic, a Viking script." Alaric says "Vikings?" Elena ask

"This name here, I translated it and it reads Niklaus." Alaric says "Klaus." Elena says "And Elijah...and Rebekah." Alaric says

....

Flashback to the 900s.

Rebekah is using a knife to carve her name in Runic into the cave wall. Klaus is standing behind her, watching while holding a burning wooden torch.

"Rebekah, let me have at it!" Klaus yells "Quiet, Niklaus! I am to have more concentration if I am not to slice off a finger." Rebekah says "Father will not like you handling the blade." Klaus says "If I want to wield a blade, I shall wield a blade! Father need not know." Rebekah says

"He will find out. He always does." Klaus says "That is because you always tell him." Rebekah says "I cannot help it...he frightens me." Klaus says

"He frightens us all. That is why we stick together as one, always and forever. Right, traitor?" Rebekah ask smiling. "Right." Klaus says and smiles back. "Here. You finish it. I am to help mother with the meal." Rebekah says

"Yes, go tend to dinner, and leave the blades to the men, little sister." Klaus says

Rebekah retorts by slamming the knife blade-side down into his palm, slicing it open.

"Agh, Bekah!" Klaus yells wincing "It's just a little blood. Be a man about it." Rebekah says

....

Back to present time.

"These are the names of the Original Family?" Elena ask "Carved into a cave that's been here since way before the founding of Mystic Falls. Or even the entire New World, for that matter." Alaric says

"Okay, this has gotta be one of Klaus's fakes." Elena says "That's what I said." Damon says "That could be true, except the last name up here made us think otherwise." Alaric says

"What's the name?" Elena ask "Mikael." Alaric says "Mikael...Mikael, as in, the vampire hunter who knows how to kill Klaus?" Elena ask "Yep. I now like to call him Papa Original." Damon says.

Alaric takes photos of the drawings.

....

Alaric's Residence.

Alaric is looking at the photos on his desk, while Damon is helping Elena with her combat training.

"These images tell a story....to learn the story, you have to decipher these images." Alaric says

Damon effortlessly disarms Elena, who tries to stake him.

"Sloppy!" Damon says

Elena grabs the stake.

"Shut up! I'm new at this." Elena says "Ghost of Christmas Past Mason Lockwood set up the cave and led us to a weapon that can kill Klaus." Damon says

"Yeah, but doesn't Mikael have a weapon?" Elena ask "Yes. Which probably means the wall will lead us to Mikael, who we have already found...and lost." Damon says

Damon overwhelms Elena again.

"Bang! You're dead!" Damon yells

He goes in to nibble on Elena's neck. She pushes him away playfully and walks over to Alaric at the desk.

"These images at the very least might tell us what that weapon is." Alaric says "Then all we have to do is find out what they mean." Elena says

"Fine! Fine! If I am being irritatingly optimistic like you two...how do you suppose we do that?" Damon ask

"Well, if the story is about the Original Family living here, then we go straight to the source!" Elena says
