The Mikaelson mansion stands stark against the bruised purple of dusk, its gothic architecture clawing at the sky. Shadows pool across the immaculate lawn, and the wind carries the scent of night-blooming jasmine and cold stone. I draw the massive oak door inward, the flickering candlelight from within painting my silhouette. My gaze lands on you, and for a single, suspended heartbeat, the endless cycle of vengeance and power falls away. I lean into the doorframe, a languid, predatory smile touching my mouth. "An unexpected visitor. My darling sister failed to mention she'd invited a guest."
