章 31: The Mikaelson Coven

(Erik POV)

"YES, finally we can do the ritual."

Freya yelled out, as we finally finished studying Dahlia's Grimoire. Reworking the Immortality Slumber Spell Dahlia used on both Freya and Harald. When my son turned five or unlocked his magic. It would've forced all of them into a deep sleep, for one hundred years. Only awakening for a single year with more magical power than they would have had otherwise.

Allowing for it to be used with a Life Force Linking Spell, ending the need to sleep, while both Harald and Freya's magic is constantly growing, being enriched, and empowered.

By linking my life force to both Freya and Harald, making both effectively immortal, like vampires, or the first immortal man and woman. But unlike the other immortal species, both Freya and Harald would still have their magic. While they would only have two true weaknesses, the first would be me, if I die, they die. The second would be a powerful enough siphoner.

I can't stop thinking that while Dahlia of this age, was a powerful dark witch. The power and experience with witchcraft that Dahlia, one thousand years from now, would've possessed. To be able to create a spell like this in minutes. When intending to link herself to Klaus, with no more than a drop of both his and Hope's blood, is almost impossible to imagine.

It took me three months before coming to Norway, to create the Life Force Linking Spell that we intend to use. It will not only allow them to live as long as I do, but it will also allow them to use a fraction of my physical abilities. As I get older and stronger, so will their fraction of my power increase.

Now for the last two weeks, Freya and I have been working on combining both spells. Stuck inside one of the back rooms of Magnus's Long-House. Just then Magnus, burst into the room carrying Harald, with Jack right behind him, as Magnus says.

"So, you're finally done creating your new spell? What do we have to do now?"

I glance at Harald with a small smile, then look at Jack and Magnus, as Lilly speeds into the room with Juliette behind her. I tell them.

"Nothing for now. When Harald unlocks his magic, we will go to where Dahlia died and released the Nexus Vorti. Making the site sacred grounds to witches. Similar to the spot my mother made the original vampire's spell on. There we will need myself, Freya, and Harald to be inside a circle of salt, with runic symbols dug into the ground, surrounding the circle."

They all nod before Freya continues.

"When we are inside the circle, both Harald and I will have to drink an elixir, for the linking spell. Then while standing across from each other, all three of us will hold each other's hands, connecting our magic. While I channel Harald, saying the incantation for the immortal slumber spell. Erik will say the incantation of the life force linking spell."

Lilly is the one to ask the next question.

"So, what do we do till then?"

I look at her as I say.

"Well, if we go by what Dahlia told Freya, all firstborns of our family unlock their magic early and they are immensely powerful. So, we have only a few years left till his magic will unlock itself. Until then, I say we stay here and wait for one of my Sireline to contact me."

Lilly nods then she looks at Jack saying.

"If that's the case, you and I are going to be training our fighting ability.... I'm going to enjoy this."

With a smirk on her face, she leaves the room. I look at Jack, feeling slightly bad about what was to happen to him when we hear Lilly yell.

"NOW BEAR MAN."

Causing me to laugh, as Jack speeds out of the room. I then look at Magnus asking him.

"If you could, at least until Harald unlocks his magic... Will you help raise him? While I love Mikael, I don't know if he will see himself as my child's grandfather, with me being a bastard and all. And my son deserves some more family than just me and my sisters."

He smirks and then looks at Harald, before saying, just as Harald yawns tiredly.

"I would have done so anyways; he may be your son, but my granddaughter was the one who carried him and birthed him. He is the last family I have."

I smile standing up as I grab his shoulder, then say.

"No, if you're his family, you're mine, and will always have a place with us. I'm not someone who abandons my family."

I then take Harald from him, before he speeds away, while I tell Freya.

"You better get some sleep sister. Until we perform the ritual, we might as well study as much as we can."

She nods before hugging me, while ruffling Harald's hair, as she leaves the room. My eyes then land on Juliette, and I say.

"Come, love, I need to put Harald to sleep. We might as well get some rest ourselves."

Juliette smiles at me before taking my hand, as I place Harald on my hip.

We go to what has become Harald's room. Right across from our room. After I place his already sleeping body into his bed and cover him up, I close the door slowly, then enter mine and Juliette's room.

Only for Juliette to jump into my arms, wrapping her legs around my midsection, resting her forehead against my own, while looking into my eyes, as she says.

"You were wrong you know."

Causing me to look at her confused before she continues.

"Harald has more than just you and your sisters. He has Jack, and as you heard, he has Magnus, and your other siblings, but he also has me... I know I will never be able to have a child of my own. I will be there for him, raise him alongside you, love him, and protect him always."

Instead of answering, I lean closer to her lips, kissing her deeply, while walking towards the bed, when I get there. I lay her down, and break the kiss, while looking into her eyes, as I say.

"I would love for you to be his mother, Juliette my love."

Seeing her eyes light up, then spinning us around with her on top of me.

Before kissing me again, she rips my shirt off.

(Three Years Later 1006 A.D.)

(3rd POV)

At the site of Dahlia's death. In the center, standing inside a circle of salt with runic symbols, for enrichment, empowerment, and growth of magical abilities, among other runes, dug into the earth. All surrounding the salt circle. With 4 torches, spread out directly North, East, South, and west. Is Erik, standing across from both Freya and five-year-old Harald.

Lilly, Jack, Magnus, and Juliette are a few feet away, in case anything happens.

Just then Erik hands both Freya and Harald an elixir of a dark red color. Both drink it in one go before all three inside the circle hold hands. Freya starts chanting while channeling Harald's Magic. Causing the wind to pick up, and clouds begin to gather in the night sky.

"Magi somn et immortalis. Binde oss."

As all four torches light to life with dark orange flames, Erik connects his magic to both and begins his chant. while the clouds in the sky darken, causing lightning to shoot through the clouds, and thunder to rumble with the wind, that is whipping around the area.

"Phasmatos tribum, melan veras raddiam, onu pavadus ponemus."

Both kept repeating the chant, as rain started to pour. Until like the world needed to breathe, everything stopped, and a perfect circle cleared in the night sky, showing a full moon shining down directly on the three Mikaelsons.

Just then a bright light blinded all in the area.

When it ended, all three Mikaelson's looked exhausted, with little Harald, barely able to stay on his feet. Then one last bolt of lightning strikes right above the area and all three inside the circle collapse.
