The Original Parents || Tvd/TO AU

The air in the Mikaelson mausoleum was thick with anticipation and the faint scent of old stone. Bonnie, a young witch, knelt before a centuries-old coffin, her grimoire open to a page detailing a complex awakening spell. Beside her, Elena and Damon Salvatore watched, their faces etched with a desperate hope. This was their last chance, their riskiest gamble: to awaken Mikael, the Original Vampire hunter, and set him against his son, Klaus.
"Are you ready, Bon Bon?" Damon's voice was a low rumble, laced with impatience. Bonnie nodded, her eyes fixed on the desiccated form within the coffin. As her chant began, a faint, almost imperceptible tremor ran through the ground, unnoticed by the others. Far away, deep within a hidden cave, the same ancient magic stirred.
Suddenly, the chains binding Mikael snapped, and his skin began to regain its natural color. At the same instant, a man, hidden in darkness for a thousand years, punched through the wooden lid of his coffin. A primal, guttural roar ripped from his throat, echoing through the earth, causing even Klaus, miles away in Portland, to clutch his head in agony. The Original Father had awakened.
