Title: "Threads of Fate: Allies and Betrayals"
---
Dawn broke over the Mikaelson estate, casting weak, golden light over the fractured remains of the once-magnificent home. The Harbingers’ attack had left destruction in its wake—walls scorched, ancient carvings marred, and magical wards strained to the breaking point.
Despite the damage, the house still stood—a stubborn symbol of defiance.
Cassandra Potter-Black stood on the balcony overlooking the estate grounds, her expression grim. The morning air was cold, but she barely felt it. Her mind raced, already planning the next steps. Protecting her children—Hope and Henrik—was her sole focus.
Behind her, Klaus approached silently, his gaze lingering on her tense posture. “We need to talk.”
Without turning, Cassandra replied, “If this is another demand for answers, save your breath.”
“It’s not a demand,” he said, surprisingly calm. “It’s... an offer.”
Cassandra finally met his piercing blue eyes, suspicion evident in her gaze. “I’m listening.”

Klaus crossed his arms, radiating confidence. “The Harbingers will return... with greater numbers. You can’t face them alone.”
Cassandra bristled. “I’ve protected my children for years without your help.”
“Perhaps,” Klaus conceded, “but you came here for a reason.” His voice softened, though steel remained beneath his words. “You need allies.”
Cassandra hesitated. Every instinct told her to trust no one—but the Mikaelsons were powerful, relentless, and bound by loyalty stronger than most blood ties.
“I don’t trust easily,” she admitted.
“Neither do we,” Klaus countered. “But if you want to survive what’s coming... you’ll have to.”
After a long, tense silence, Cassandra nodded reluctantly. “Agreed. But my terms.”
Klaus smirked. “I wouldn’t expect anything less.”

Later that day, as repairs began on the estate, Kol found Cassandra inspecting the damaged wards protecting Hope and Henrik’s rooms. Her focus was so intense she didn’t notice him at first.
“Still standing guard, are we?” Kol teased, though his usual sarcasm was gentler than usual.
Cassandra glanced at him, sighing. “They’re my everything. I can’t... lose them.”
Kol’s expression turned uncharacteristically serious. “You’re not the only one who’s lost people.”
His tone held something raw, something haunted. Cassandra realized then that behind Kol’s recklessness was a deep, unspoken pain.
Before she could respond, Henrik’s small voice called from inside the room, “Mama!”
Cassandra instantly pushed past Kol, rushing to Henrik, who had woken from a restless sleep. Hope was already at his side, comforting her little brother.
Kol watched the scene unfold, something in his chest tightening.
Family, he thought. So that’s what it looks like...

As the estate settled into an uneasy calm, Elijah stood near the front entrance, surveying the surrounding forest with practiced wariness. Dark magic still tainted the air, though the wards Cassandra had strengthened were holding.
A sudden rustling in the woods caught his attention. Instantly on alert, Elijah shifted into a defensive stance.
From the shadows emerged several familiar figures—Daphne Greengrass and Luna Lovegood.
Elijah’s eyes narrowed. “What is the meaning of this?”
Daphne stepped forward, her sharp gaze locking onto him. “We’re here to help.”
Luna added cautiously, “The Harbingers attacked our home too. If we don’t stand together, none of us will survive.”
Behind them, Daphne scanned the ruins of the estate with cool efficiency. “We heard rumors about her.” She nodded toward the house. “Is it true... that Cassandra Potter-Black is here?”
---
Minutes later, Cassandra faced her old friends, disbelief and guarded hope flickering in her emerald eyes. Seeing Daphne and Luna—faces she never thought she’d see again—stirred emotions she’d long buried.
“Daphne... Luna...” Her voice trembled just slightly.
Daphne stepped forward, her cool facade cracking for a moment. “You’re alive.”
Before Cassandra could react, Daphne wrapped her arms around her, a fierce embrace full of unspoken relief and lingering sorrow.
Luna simply nodded with teary eyes, though her usually dreamy expression was clouded with sadness. “It’s good to see you... truly.”
But even in that moment of reunion, Cassandra couldn’t ignore the uneasy sensation crawling up her spine. Fate had brought them together—but at what cost?
---
Unbeknownst to the reunited group, dark forces watched from the enchanted forest’s edge, unseen but ever-present.
A cloaked figure, ancient and twisted by dark power, whispered into the ether:
“Let them gather. It will make their fall... so much sweeter.”
Their spectral hands traced the threads of fate, dark magic entwining destiny’s fragile tapestry.
“Soon, all will belong to the Forgotten Gods.”

And fate was never as kind as it seemed.
