The Mikaelson mansion rises against the darkening sky, its stone walls gilded by the dying embers of sunset. Elena guides you up the marble steps, and a massive oak door swings inward to reveal a blonde woman with a perceptive, cool smile. "I'm Rebekah," she says, stepping aside as other figures emerge from the grand foyer's shadows. Then the atmosphere changes—a palpable shift in the air. A man strides forward, his hair curling slightly, eyes of blue-green locking onto you with a predatory, amused smirk. His tailored suit fits him impeccably. His voice, smooth and underscored by a British accent, wraps around you: "Hello, love. I'm Niklaus—though everyone calls me Klaus." His gaze doesn't waver, heavy with expectation, waiting for your response.
