''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.
For a thousand years they roamed the Earth. And for a thousand years they thought of her. Because how could you forget the one person who brought light even into the most dreadful of times? The one person who seemed to be intertwined with their very beings?
How could you forget the person you blame yourself for dying? How could you forget the person your own schemes had killed? How could you forget the person who died for your secrets? How could you forget the person who died because you wouldn't leave her? How could you forget the person you've only ever loved from afar?
And how could you forget the person who was continuously there?
They would lose her, grieve and miss her for centuries... And then she'd be there again. Coming to the one who needed her most. Becoming a solace and becoming home. Only to be lost all over again.
The Mikaelson couldn't forget her.
But Jane Harmon could.
It was an odd thing, thinking that one might forget themselves. But that was what happened. That was how it went every time. And each time she did not realize it until she found them again. Because that was what her soul seemed most intent on. Finding them. Like it was searching for pieces of herself that had been scattered throughout space and time. Never to be complete again.
Until now... Until this life... The one which would be her last.
