"Father is not going like this sister," Niklaus said, immensely worried. His sister had taken their father's hunting knife without his knowledge, and Niklaus knew what punishments she would suffer. He knew them almost daily after all. "He won't, because he won't find out, now be quiet I am trying to concentrate" Rebekah responded, making a runic inscription of her name in the walls of the cave.

"He always finds out," Niklaus said in a knowing tone. "He only does because you always tell him, now please be quiet" She answered back with a little bit of annoyance in her voice, which finally caused her brother to quiet down. "They're done," She said in a happy tone her name being next to Ragnar's runic name. She had wanted to do this before with her brother present, but it simply wouldn't be.

"Good, now please let me have to put it back where it once was"

"Okay"

She gave the knife to her brother, and when he grasped it, she put pressure cutting Niklaus's skin. "Ah! Rebekah!" Niklaus gave a grunt of pain and annoyance looking at his shallow wound "Why did you do that?" He asked, grasping the handle of the knife. "That is for not telling me about Ragnar and those girls"

"You still on that?"

She gave him a look.

"Okay fine, I don't even know why you are so insistent on our brother's love life" Rebekah sighed before looking at him straight in the eyes. "Niklaus do our brother to be happy?" She asked him, and the answer came immediately. "Of course I do" He answered in complete honest, Ragnar had comforted him when his father hit him and had trained him both in the bow and the sword, even after hearing their father say that he would never make a warrior or a hunter.

His brother had never forsaken or gave up on him and for that he was grateful.

"Which is exactly why we must make sure that he finds the right bride for him"

Niklaus was not understanding what she was saying as her decision-making was going to make sure their brother remained single for the rest of his life. Even then he was sure women were going to keep hounding him even then. Ragnar was just like that, he knew exactly what to say or do. To the point, it was a little bit frightening.

After saying her piece his sister left, his gaze remained in her before reverting to the knife in his hands, gripping it.

"Father stop!" Elijah screamed at Mikael struck at Niklaus with his whip, he moved towards him to stop his father from continuing hurting his brother but he was only roughly shoved aside by his father. "Stay back!" Mikael roared at him, before continuing with his strikes. Niklaus was screaming in pain at each strike of the whip but he did not dare to retaliate, he had quickly found out that, that would be a very bad idea and would make his punishment even more painful.

Mikael continued to strike at his son before he felt cold hard steel in his neck. "Enough," Ragnar said, his face showing both anger and hesitation, or at least that what he wanted them all to think. Mikael looked at him before taking the sword from his hands and saying "You will take his punishment then?" Which Ragnar nodded at, much to both Niklaus and Elijah's horror. He knelt without a single word and grunted at each crack of the whip as it hit his back before Mikael stopped and walked away.

Both Niklaus and Elijah quickly moved towards their brother kneeling form, who despite showing a tougher exterior was actually in much pain. "This is all my fault" Niklaus whispered, if he was stronger then he wouldn't have to fear his father if he was stronger his brother wouldn't have to suffer in his place if he was stronger none of this would have been happening in the first place!

"Brother..." Elijah wanted to desperately say that it wasn't Niklaus fault but he knew that his words would come out as the wrong intent, "We have to get both of you to mother" Niklaus wordlessly nodded helped Elijah lift Ragnar, his pain tolerance was rather high compared to his siblings' thanks to his father's mistreatment of him.

"And that is how things are," Niklaus said in a longing tone, as he watches Tatia kiss his brother Elijah after confessing to him. He felt someone patting his back and looked back to see his brother Ragnar giving him a comforting smile. "I am sure you are going to find another brother" He reassured him, but Niklaus wasn't sure, Tatia had completely captured his heart, she wasn't like other women, he wasn't sure if there were going to be another who would do the same to him as she had.

"Come brother, let us enjoy the festivities," Ragnar said as he proceeded to drag him towards the festival, probably to get both of them drunk, not that Niklaus was complaining he needed to drown his sorrows.

Ragnar himself was enjoying the feast, especially because of the women, he was sure there was a Milf looking at him with drunken lust and he wasn't going to refuse her. Being born with a handsome face was a pretty good boon, even if he knew who that face belonged to. He had seen his face in a pond of water and was astonished by what he saw because he actually looked like a young Richard Roxburgh but instead of him, he was raven-haired instead of blonde.

Whether that was an inside joke by the being that sent him here or something else he didn't know, he wasn't completely sure, but he didn't have to worry about that now. Ditching the drunken future hybrid – he would come back to him later when he was finished – he moved towards the drunken woman.

It didn't take much to convince her to follow him to the woods. She was pretty as well, with a motherly figure of wide hips, DD-cups, and a nice face, he was going to enjoy the night

"MOTHER!" Niklaus screamed as he walked towards his home carrying the mangled body of the youngest Mikaelson member. Ragnar was the first to arrive and as he looked at the body of his youngest brother he was pretty sure that the show had censured what had happened to him on the night of the attack. There were claw marks on his chest and head, and on the latter, he could see the bone of his skull, the neck had a great bitting mark on it and it looked like had it been attempted to be ripped off, and on his chest, his guts were starting to spill out.

He was frozen by this terrible sight, even though he was a pretty nasty person in his previous life he hadn't seen such a level of brutality before.

But he still had to act like the caring older brother, so he decided to up his game. He wordlessly knelt before both Niklaus and Henrick, he already knew that the latter was dead, there was no coming back from his wounds at least without modern level doctors and surgeries, and a heavy dose of magic. Of course, those two only mattered if the patient wasn't already dead, which Henick was.

"Your boy is gone," Ayana said after looking and checking on the young Henrick, her news made Esther freeze before she wailed at the loss of her child, her cries being heard across the entire village, and Ragnar saw some villagers who had come to see give her a sympathetic look. Ragnar himself wanted to jump in joy at the moment, the time had come, the predatory species would be born tonight and he would be immortal.

"Can I have toast for Henrick?" Mikael asked out to his remaining children, he was holding a cup of wine and so were his sons and daughters. Ragnar was the first to raise his cup "For Henrick," He gulped down the drink, and soon did his siblings, he did not have the time to react as his father drove his sword in his heart. His vision blacking out, Ragnar heard a feminine wail and many gasps, and soon he met death once more. Time froze and a luminous being appeared in the household through no one noticed him as they were all frozen and could not react or even think, as the being walked closer to Ragnar's body and grabbed a vial from seemingly nowhere, he used his powers to merge the content inside of it with Ragnar's body, mind, and soul, overwriting the original spell that would transform him and instead changed into something else.

His work done, the luminous being walked out in a blinding flash of light, leaving this dimension for the time being. The moment he left time resumed, and Mikael quickly struck all of his children in the heart with his sword before they had a chance to react, Rebekah was the last to fall and with the wound on her chest attempted to crawl to Ragnar's body before succumbing to her wounds. Mikael looked at his children before he left looking for the final ingredient.
