Kol, his footsteps echoing through the silent corridors of the Mikaelson manor,

finally reached the sanctum of his personal space.

The door, engraved with his name in the ancient script of Elder Futhark, radiated an air of familiarity.

The engraved symbols,

ᚲᚢᛚ ᛘᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᚨᚾ,

whispered a silent welcome.

Pushing the door open, Kol stepped into his haven.

The room, adorned with grimoires and crowned by a king-sized bed, awaited its master.

A sigh of contentment escaped Kol as he cast a cursory glance over his domain.

The allure of rest beckoned him, and with a purposeful stride, he headed for the embrace of the large bed as the sun had risen.

The final phase of Kol and Rudra's soul fusion transpired in the dream world, where the real and the paranormal collide. As the cosmic dance of spirits came to a climax, Kol and Rudra found themselves united in perfect harmony.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting shadows upon the Mikaelson manor,

Rebekah ventured into Kol's room.

A gentle awakening disrupted his slumber.

prompting a groggy Kol to cast her a quizzical look.

"What do you want, Bekah?" he mumbled.

Rebekah, with an air of urgency, informed him about their mother's summons for a family meeting.

Kol's response was dismissive: "Does she think she can do anything?"

After freshening up,

Kol reluctantly made his way to the designated meeting room.

**In the Meeting Room:**

The siblings, each in their designated place, assembled in a chamber heavy with the weight of a millennium. With a calm yet resolute tone, the matriarch Esther said, "We need to plan a ball to reintroduce ourselves to the community." Kol tried to disappear, scarcely bothering to look interested, murmuring, "Well, I say do it well then, ta ta." With firm authority, Esther stopped him. "Kol, I want you to attend as well." "And why, pray tell me, do you think it's not disrespectful to lay orders upon me?" Kol abruptly stopped, turned slowly, and refused her order. Sensing the tension building, Finn went in search of calm. "This is essential for the family, Kol. For the sake of our mother, come. "

Kol loses all patience and storms over to the pool table, where he quickly grabs a pool stick and stabs Finn through the stomach and shoulder, pinning him to the wall and calling out the apparent hypocrisy. "What's up, Finn? "Since our mother is present, it is necessary to address this matter," he pointed accusingly at Esther. "You've always considered us to be monstrous creatures, calling us soulless monsters. He emphasised where he thought the fault lay, saying, "Well, my dear brother, the credit lays there." The tactful but powerful Klaus stepped in and said, "Enough. Attend the ball, put on a show, then leave, if you so choose."

"C'mon, Kol, it's been so long." Rebekah added her two cents, with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.

"Darling, it has been three days since I was at a party honouring your loyalty.

Might I remind you that although it has been three days for me, it has been a long time for you? I was stabbed in the heart during that encounter.

So please pardon me if Iam against it," Kol sneers as Rebecca's expression darkens.

"Anyhow, I'll be around. Is there anything more?"

Smiling amused, Kol questioned, putting a dent in the residual stress.

Kol asked Niklaus, "Equipped the dungeon with my tools?" as he approached the door.

"They are," was Niklaus's abrupt reply.

After nodding and walking away,

Kol said, "Good, then."

With a touch of familiarity,

Kol called Caroline while by himself and asked,

"What are you doing, little light?"

"Nothing, Kol," was her sombre reply.

He said, half-jokingly,

"Ah, gloomy like Nik, are we?

I haven't yet had any alcohol or Blood.

Would you care to join me?"

"Fiiiine," Caroline moaned.

"Don't have to be so gloomy. We're going to have a good time," Kol promised.
