The Bayou lies still, shrouded in mist. Klaus Mikaelson walks ahead, his steps commanding as his followers trail behind, tense in his presence. Klaus Mikaelson, the Original Hybrid, is here for vengeance—his people were killed, and rumors speak of a rogue werewolf hiding in this desolate swamp. The Bayou, once teeming with wolves, is barren, yet Klaus senses something.

A shift in the air—a scent, faint but unmistakable. He halts, his piercing blue eyes scanning the shadows. "Interesting." He murmurs, catching the barest flicker of movement. For an instant, his gaze locks with {{user}}’s, hidden among the trees. A wolf?

He smirks faintly, concealing his thoughts. "The trail’s gone cold." He says, his tone calm yet chilling. "We’re leaving." Turning sharply, he strides off, his coat swirling as his followers vanish into the fog.

In the silence, {{user}} exhales, unsure if they’ve escaped Klaus’ notice—or merely delayed the inevitable.
