~~The first sight~~

The doors were shattered, the army was partially injured as they used their magic only to fright them. Killing innocent lives was never an option to the Mikaelson family, no matter how grave the matter was. Lord Elijah entered the grand court of King Adrian, trailing his best men behind him. King Adrian rose to his feet from his throne, so did Queen Isabella.

Even though his men were targeting their arrows to the king and his ministers, Lord Elijah bowed them following the royal courtesy with a genuine smile on his face. King Adrian could never have thought of a joke any more cruel than that.

"His Highness," Lord Elijah greeted with a clear accent, "It is an honor to meet you."

"I wish we would have the privilege to say the same for you Lord Elijah," king Adrian raised his chin slightly. "Unfortunately We are not accustomed to entertain intruders."

"I apologize for the inconveniences we have caused you, but I can not help myself feeling sorry to state this, that you are solely responsible for this damage."

King Adrian looked at the young man in his mid twenties standing in a regal demeanor before him. He was right, however annoying and humiliating it seemed to the great King he had to admit this to himself that Lord Elijah was saying the truth.

"We send you our message seeking your assistance King Adrian, which you responded ridiculously by imprisoning our messenger."

Queen Isabella squeezed her husband's arm gently encouraging him. King Adrian felt nervous as he spoke.

"I do not suppose any honorable man would expect another honorable person to respond respectfully to the family responsible for the death of the best men of his country."

"You should know this King Adrian, there are others looking for the lost princess and if you do not cease your foolish activities right now it may cost your niece's life and the end of the two worlds. We are ashamed ourselves for what Marcel did to your men, my mother has banished him from the family title utterly ignoring the fact that he is her only brother. Now he has joined forces with the Dragon Lords of the West. Do you understand what this means? If he acquires the power your niece have it will bring disasters to both us and the humans. We must stop this from happening."

Queen Isabella looked uncomfortable by the thought itself. She stepped forward and realized her husband was shaken too.

"But that means leaving our niece to your cursed brother's mercy. She is too young for such thing. How could you ask us to sacrifice the only daughter of this family?"

Lord Elijah lowered his head. "I know her Highness, but I can assure you we would find a way to keep her safe. Are you willing to sacrifice the country of Matheran with all it's goodness to the evil warlocks and dragon lords?"

"Lord Elijah," King Adrian cleared his throat. "She is not just our princess, but also a star. We are not the ones to decide her fate. She has brought her own destiny with her, and her guardians from the sky. Even if we tell you where she is I am not certain how helpful that would be."

Elijah smiled in response. "For five centuries me and my family have been suffered from pain and hardships because of this one curse. If there is a star in the planet Earth that certainly means the stars are willing to help us. We trust in our mother, and the efficacious skill mother Nature granted to her."

Queen Isabella nodded her head to King Adrian softly tugging his hand. They exchanged a meaningful glance and the King invited Elijah to have a tea with them.

All three of them were quiet for a while. As the tea and other victuals were served King Adrian broke the silence.

"We do not know her name, or where she lives. When King Norman killed my brother the stars determined to protect her came down. They insisted to take her to the mortal world and start living human life to keep her from the perils of Matheran and the magical realm. They took her when she turned one year old, and we never saw her afterwards. We have no names, no pictures, nothing to recognize her. We only know a name of a small town."

"And the name of the town is..."

"We would tell you the name, but before that we would like to request something."

Lord Elijah stared at the King inquisitively.

"We want to send our children with you. You might need them, besides they are eager to meet her as well. I hope that would be fine with you?"

Elijah smirked to this. "Of course. Who do you want to send with us?"

"My daughter Sage, son Tyler, and my youngest brother Lord Mason. I already have talked to Lord Mason's wife Lady Jules, and Tyler's mother Lady Carol, they all have gladly consented for this journey."

"May I know the name of the town please?"

"Yes, it's called Mystic Falls."

"Come on girls we are getting late." Katherine grinned looking at Elena. "You are looking gorgeous sister."

"Thanks, you too." Elena muttered very slowly and applied her pink lip gloss.

The ladies room of the club looked like a backstage of a fashion parade. Girls dressed up in fancy and designer labels chimed in and out occasionally, some let themselves busy touching up their make-up and hair, some were simply gossiping.

"What is April young talking about?" Caroline glanced at the short height girl across the ladies room. "Bonnie is looking serious."

Elena followed Caroline's eyes and turned slightly to Katherine.

"Must be boys." Katherine shrugged and looked back at the two of them.

"That sounds like April, and yes I remember she was talking about someone coming tonight."

"Someone?" Elena frowned.

"Yeah,"Caroline looked at the twin sisters and rolled her eyes. 'Actually she was saying, they are coming tonight. Are you two done here? I want to go out now."

The girls stepped out if the ladies room and the loud music pierced their ears. Shortly Bonnie joined them. They headed to the dance floor. The dj started playing a foot tapping dance song, remixed version. The twin sisters giggled and Bonnie swayed her hips with the song singing the lyrics loudly.

"She's like a star...ooh baby."

"I told you about my headache. I am going out." Caroline yelled at Elena's ears. Bonnie leaned forward crooking her nose.

"What are saying?" Bonnie shouted.

"I need air." Caroline gestured towards the exit.

"Wait I am coming with you." Elena held her hand and said. The two girls made their way through the crowd. Suddenly Katherine stopped her and hinted to the doorways.

"Elena, wait. I want to introduce you to someone."

Caroline glanced at her back where Katherine gave her smirked . "I am planning to set up my sister and my friend with two hotties. What do you say Care?"

Caroline bowed her head and made a pleading face. "Have mercy on me, Katherine, please let me leave." The girls laughed and Caroline moved out of the crowd.

Once she was near the exit Bonnie gathered with the twin sisters. "They have come, I sensed them."

"And I saw one of them. He was hot. I just hope he is not the much-discussed man we were expecting to meet." The two girls frowned at Katherine.

"Is that a bit of... drool or something?" Bonnie arched her brow and Elena stiffed a laughter.

Caroline moved slowly through the hallway. The fluorescent lights above her head almost blinded her. She took out her spectacles from her purse and wore them. The burning feeling in her eyes soothed to some degree, though the uncomfortable feeling was still there.

With every day her pains were increasing. First it was her eyes losing their strength in bright illumination, then the allergic reactions to the dust and dirt. She inhaled deeply, exhaled slowly, and repeated the action thrice to get rid of the suffocation. She tried to walk faster, her eyes fixed to the road outside, but her feet felt heavy as if boulders were tied to her slender body. She huffed and inhaled again, but this time she felt lack of oxygen in the air. her sight turned hazy, figures scurried around her eyes. She felt her head was spinning. At a point, she found it impossible to hold herself steady. She gasped when her body lost every bit of control and started falling down.

She felt the air cooling against her skin, some muffled tones, a hushed male voice and a wheeze close to her. Within a second there was something firm and stable under her back, and she had stopped falling.

She tried to open her eyes, but stopped trying when some spoke to her.

"Do not worry love, you are safe."

She felt someone carrying her, her body was light like a feather. A faint fragrance of woods and musk hit her senses. She cocooned herself in the embrace of a strong body, the warmth transmitting from his skin to hers slowly brought her fatigued organs back to life. She felt like breathing with him.

"Hold me tightly, please. Don't let me fall."

She heard the voice again, very close to her. So close that she felt his breath brushing the skin of her neck.

"I won't let you fall love, never."
