''We have calcium in our bones,
iron in our veins,
carbon in our souls,
and nitrogen in our brains.
93 percent stardust,
with souls made of flames,
we are all just stars that have people names.''
- Nikita Gill.
AFTER THE DRAMATIC END OF THE WAR OF THE ROSES, 1485'S ENGLAND BURNS WITH UNSPOKEN TENSION. With a new King on the rise, the English Court furiously plots and schemes for ways to rise, and while the nobles dance and feast in the name of peace with knifes hidden beneath their sleeves, the streets silently grow more agitated; hunger, sickness and the old post-war misery sinking deep within the weary souls of the people.
It is in this scenary that Niklaus Mikaelson makes his first appearance in British soil in a hundred years. Having once more hurriedly escaped the clutches of old family feuds, the man had been led by rumours of a large, white stone of exquisite nature being placed above a princess' chest, and now found himself inside the Royal Palace, waiting on the best oportunity to take what he wanted.
The palace, however, housed others than he, and within it's halls walked Elizabeth of York, the future Queen of England, the possessor of the moonstone, and the entire reason as to why Niklaus was in Brittain in the first place.
Having been dealt her fair share of grief in live, Elizabeth now prepared to marry the King in the name of her House; however, with her sharp eyes of blue and her minucious ears, she also glidded along the games of the Royal Court, trying to take the reins of her life to direct it to a point which's location she was still unsure of.
And figuring it out became all that much harder whenever an exquisite lord made his way into her life.
Thankfully, Niklaus had it all planned out.
I could hear her heart race and her breath get heavy. When she looked up at me, I saw tears run down her red cheeks. She flipped over onto her back and crawl away from me. I stood over her and I laughed at her helpless state. "I know a thousand ways to hurt you without spilling a drop of your blood. So, you either come quietly or in pain. Your choice?" I heard her cry and watched her tears stain her face. I almost wish Nik was here to see her cry in fear, it is so entertaining.
Suddenly, I felt something pierce through my chest. My eyes widened. I gasped out in pain. My hands went to my heart. I inhaled some air quickly. I felt myself grow weak like I was falling to the ground. I was surprised that I was on the floor. I looked down at my hands. They had turned gray. I felt lifeless. The veins in my body rose to the top of my skin while the gray covered everything. The last thought I had before the end was one name. Nik?
