/Mystic Falls/Summer/1001/
The day was like any other, villagers going about their daily activities to make ends meet for themselves and their family.
The Mikaelson family were not exempted, they had their own duties and responsibilities to take care of.
Not far of, the sounds of iron clashing against each other could be heard. Two boys could be seen having a spar with one another. It was nothing too serious, just a test of skills and endurance, who would overpower the other or who would last to the bitter end of the struggle.
Their father, Mikael, stood not far from them. As he had nothing else to do today, he decided to watch the little spar between two of his sons.
After a while, Mikael saw that it was time to end it.
"Alright that's enough, Niklaus, Henrik. Go and wash up and get a little rest. You two are improving."
If one looked closely, they would see the glint in the eyes of both brothers as well as a little relief. It was as if the words of their father was harken to a blessing in disguise from the gods themselves. Seems like no one wanted to lose to the other, it was better to end it in...
"A draw then, eh brother" Klaus spoke up, exhausted from the long spar yet his smug never ceased to disappear from his face. Henrik doing the same as his brother, relaxed also. The sun today was unbearably hotter today, sweat glistened on his upper body, his chest heaving up and down trying to catch as much breathe as he could, obviously his elder brother was better in stamina compared to him.
"Aye, seems like the bet is dissolved, no one will be hunting for the other then"
"Sadly true, brother. I have to admit, you have become better in combat with your axes now. Maybe in a few years I'll find it difficult to keep up with you then"
They both walk together towards where they could get water to wash with, as they noticed that they where far enough from the ears of anyone, Henrik spoke up " Are we still doing it Klaus?"
"Yes, or do you feel a little cowardice growing in you now?"
"Not really, I for one desire to see their turning. I have never seen a werewolf before. Have you?"
"None"
After getting cleaning up themselves, they headed back to front of their house. Seeing as the day was still bright, Henrik decided to wonder into the village.
-------------------------------
Under a tree in the woods, two young lovers could be seen. Both engrossed in each others intimate care. After a while, with the energy spent from the physical exercise, they finally give in to rest. With her head resting on the bare chest of the young man, who lovingly caresses the maiden's hair,both enjoy the scenery before them.
"I am happy today. You, here with me, the weather perfect, the forest as quiet as it can be. Everything seems just right." The maiden pauses, just to raise her head enough to look at her lover then she continues "I'm happy you are mine, Henrik as I am yours. I just hope this can continue forever." With an eyebrow raised, Henrik had a little frown on his face as he asked her "is there something wrong, Gwendolyn? You sound a little worried"
"I do not know. Ever since the sun rose I have been having this feeling....I do not know how to judge it, and that makes me worry. No matter my love. Do not worry about me, maybe I haven't had enough rest lately."
Although she had brushed off the issue, Henrik had not. Because he too has been having a heavy feeling lately since the beginning of summer and it had only been stronger. He thought maybe it would disappear as it had come but hearing Gwendolyn, whom he has been having an affair with for two years now ever since Rebekah had encouraged him, he had grown to love her even.
He had thought that if the gods allowed it, he wouldn't mind spending the rest of his life with her. He had always thanked Rebekah in his heart for helping him find another place to put his focus on.
He had dedicated his attention into the relationship with Gwendolyn, most days where spent with her as long as he was never out for hunting with his father and brothers. He did not slack in his hunger for knowledge, rather he continued and to his pleasure, Gwendolyn never minded to stay with him when he made medicines or studied plants. At least that's how far he could allow her see, only the gods know how she would feel with him studying rituals and spells. He will continue to enjoy this blissful moments with her until fate decides.
With his mind wondering about as he enjoys the presence of his lover, he drifts off to sleep. Worries are for another time.

/Mystic Falls woods/Same day/night time/full moon/1001/
Under the blanket of the night, two figures could be seen moving quickly but silently.
Several minutes had passed before they finally come to a stop behind a covering, shielding them from the sight of those who could be seen gathering in the open field.
"Hee...I can hear your heartbeat from here brother, should I be worried that you will piss yourself here?" One whispers to the other.
"Oh, shut it Klaus, if even you can hear my heart beating, it would be from the excitement of what's about to happen.."
"And what will happen after. If ever our dearest father finds out we snuck out to watch the turning of werewolves this night" Henrik chuckles a little at that remark but tries heavily not to give away their location.
Truly, what Klaus had said wasn't farfetched, although his heart was beating faster but it was not only due to his excitement from watching.
It appears the foreboding was getting heavier by the second. He hoped that this was not something he would regret later.
"Klaus, do you think Erik has been truthful with Rebekah? I mean, I still thought he was at least like us, a human."
"Who cares? Or are you going to tell her that Erik is a werewolf? I would like to see you explain how you found out because last I checked, you and Erik are not friendly enough for him to spill"
"Sigh...true...maybe she knows and is scared of telling us...you know how father feels" Klaus only replies with a 'hmm' as he continues to stare intently towards the group of people, not wishing to miss anything.
This goes on till they see clearly the full moon in all it's glory and beauty and then...
"Arghh!!!"
They both tense up, looking at the scene before them
"It's about to start" Klaus whispers but you can still hear the excitement coming from his tone. And then they hear the cracking of bones
"By the gods!...how much pain could they be experiencing..." Henrik couldn't hold himself from gasping at what he saw and heard.
The heart wrenching cries from everyone present. Although some where brave enough to hold in a little with only groaning escaping from them.
HOWLLLL!
Some of them had fully changed into their beast form, guarding and growling as if to encourage the rest to embrace their beastly side. One by one, they turned, cries slowly changed into howling.
Finally they were all in their glory fully turned ready to go for their nightly hunt. They start moving, their Alpha, Ansel, who they watched turned into a larger black wolf, waited and watched them go with another grey wolf standing beside him. They were ready to move after the rest had gone when..
"Incredi.."
*Crack*
The sound of a broken stick was heard. Henrik had stepped on it as he tried getting close for a better view.
But unfortunately, they were not the only ones who heard it.
With the heightened senses of the werewolves, both the alpha and the grey wolf turned towards the sound.
As though the world stopped revolving, both sides stared at each other. Klaus a little longer, stared into the eyes of the black wolf. It was as though there was a familiarity between them. Sadly, the black wolf which was quicker to react, was still too late to hinder the grey wolf which had his sight all along on Henrik.
"NO!..HENRIK!!!... RUN!!!!!"
unable to hear the voice of his brother, stricken by an unfiltered cold fear, Henrik couldn't move a muscle as he watched the wolf move towards him with such uncanny speed.
He saw the jaws of the wolf open wider and the last thoughts he had before he felt the world go black...
"So this was the reason....."

A/N: sorry for posting late. we are coming closer to the unveiling of what our dear mc is....I hope what I have in store for you would be much appreciated. take note I made enough research to find out how to come about his change...not giving too much spoiler. also the MC will not be overpowered..nope the world doesn't accept that..no system, no over the top power of snapping finger and the enemy disappears, no standing still with a fist still planted on your face like some immoveable mountain. don't get me wrong he will be strong as time goes but he is not going to be unbeatable, hard to beat but not unbeatable. for your trouble I'll release another before I go off for the day.
