《The Immortals》One Step In
Advertisement
Julie and Elijah hadn't said a word since their fight. They both had important things to think about and consider. Did she want to become a vampire? Did he want her to? What would happen if she did? Would Elijah ever consider taking the cure?
Julie didn't want that. She didn't want him to change for her. She knew he would always stay with his family and if he ever became mortal it would be the end of "always and forever". And there was something appealing to becoming immortal too. She was so young, the mere thought of growing old and die seemed so distant.
They were both reading next to each other on the couch, or at least they were pretending to read, when Elijah's phone rang.
"It's Rebekah," he told her before he picked up.
Julie watched his face fall.
"What?" he let out in a whisper as if he hadn't heard right the first time.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Julie asked, worried.
"What do you mean, Kol is dead?"
Julie hoped she had misheard it too. Elijah was speechless. She could see his anger and his sadness on his face. She gently took the phone from him.
"Rebekah?" she said with a trembling voice. "What happened?"
Elena. Again. Elena happened. Everyone did everything for her and she didn't care if people died. She was now killing them herself.
Everything went black as anger took over her. She couldn't see anything or feel anything else than rage. The windows, the glasses, the mirrors, even the lightbulbs, all exploded one after the other. She wasn't conscious of it nor could she hear Elijah calling her name.
"Julie stop! Come back!" he yelled but he couldn't reach her. That was it. Darkness. It was so easy to get lost. "Julie!" Finally, she gasped out of it. "Hey," he whispered, taking her face in his hands. "Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry," she breathed out. "I don't know what happened," she cried.
Elena was always a trigger for her. She wanted nothing more than kill her for what she did to Elijah, and now Kol.
"I'm sorry," she repeated.
"It's okay," he said, hugging her. "It's okay."
Kol was the only person qualified enough they knew to help her control it. And now he was gone.
"She doesn't deserve the cure," she said. "She doesn't."
"Niklaus wants her to be human again," Elijah said. "He wants more hybrids."
"What are we gonna do?" she sobbed.
"About what?" he asked, wiping the tears of her cheeks with his thumbs.
"About Kol. He's dead!"
A tear fell down his cheek as he hugged her once more. He had already lost two brothers, how would he be able to convince his sister to stay immortal?

Dungeon Instinct
The multiverse is a big place, and it is also constantly in flux. As such sometimes mistakes occur, impossibilities that should have never come into existence. An aspect of corruption born naturally of a mortal and a divine, a Void that is a singularity instead of a duality, a being that came to be before existence ever was, a forgotten that is not damned, the possibilities are infinite and limitless, and thus so are the possible mistakes in this grand multiverse. But are not mistakes more entertaining to watch? For Kelic the Blightborn, life was suffering. Born of a holy Templar dedicated to serving the Forgotten Guardian and a powerful abyssal demon queen that raped said Templar, Kelic’s first sight and sensation in Quellios and its realms was being baptized in the life-blood of his dying father. Tortured in the 1425th level of the abyss for ten years, Kelic was only set free of this constant nightmare of an existence by the unintended results of the Ascendant Angel’s rise to true divinity. His freedom from the abyss was not the paradise that the young Kelic thought however, as he was branded a BlightBorn, or a child of tragedy that brings only misfortune, by the people of Quellios. Abused by all he ever knew or met the boy found solace in only in the things of beauty and the act of reading, a skill he taught himself. His latent ability to comprehend and remember all of what he read and the sheer speed of his reading gained the attention of a prominent figure of Evrette Academy Island. Taken in by the famous mage Fredrick Dunhousen, Kelic lived in peace for the first time in his young life… that is until he was killed. Follow the tale of a newly born dungeon core in the world of Eserthet, that has only one single purpose. One single purpose it decided for itself...
