Upon being bound and burned at the stake, Arcadius, in excruciating physical pain from the flames and emotionally distressed by the villagers betraying him, inadvertently unleashed a blast of psychic energy moments prior to his death that was so powerful, it created a new Hellmouth.

* After Arcadius created the new Hellmouth, he began bringing in spirits of those who had committed heinous sins in their lives to Hell, feasting on and tormenting their souls for eternity. This cycle would continue for another thousand years or so, when the Traveler witch Qetsiyah created her own afterlife dimension, which was a purgatory that trapped the souls of supernatural creatures. In most, but not all cases, this prevented anyone who was supernatural from finding peace or going to Hell until the Other Side's destruction in the 21st century. Lucifer, impressed by Arcadius' penchant for torture, appoints him as one the Knights of Hell.

800 BCE

* Seline, a powerful young psychic, was exiled to an island when villagers discovered her supernatural identity. Shortly afterward, another young psychic, Sybil, met the same fate, ending up on the same island and befriending Seline. The two then became so close that they referred to each other as "sisters" due to being the only family they had.
* Due to their new home being scarce in resources, Seline showed her how to use her psychic abilities to both amplify each other's power level while also attracting ships in order to be rescued. However, when the first ship crashed into the jagged rocks on the coast, everyone on the ship perished, and Sybil vowed never to use her powers in that way again, believing that if they couldn't live on what "God" provided, then they didn't deserve to live at all. Seline, who had secretly become a cannibal in order to survive on the island, raided the ships for needed items and passed off the flesh of the dead sailors as being animal meat, deceiving Sybil while converting her to a cannibalistic diet.

750 BCE

* When Sybil learned that she had been feeding on the flesh of innocent men all of her life, she became so distraught that she attempted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. When Seline found her dying in the forest, she prayed to "God" to save her, only for the spirit of Arcadius, a deceased psychic and ruler of Hell, to approach them instead. Seline, recognizing Cade by the stories they had heard about him, begged him to save Sybil's life at any cost. Cade ultimately agreed to given the sisters eternal life and youth, on the condition that they feed on the flesh of evildoers who were sent to hell upon death while bringing him their souls for eternal punishment.

99 BCE

* Silas and Qetsiyah, two of the most powerful witches in their community, meet Ambrogio, the First Immortal, and become inspired to work together to create the first spell of immortality.

97 BCE

* Silas becomes engaged to Qetsiyah, who was described on several occasions as being his best friend. However, unbeknownst to Qetsiyah, Silas was also engaging in an affair with her handmaiden, Amara, a mortal with whom he was truly in love.

96 BCE

* Silas and Amara became the very first immortals in the world created by magic, rather than being gifted it. Qetsiyah and Silas were originally intended to drink the immortality elixir that Qetsiyah had created at their wedding, but Silas instead ended up stealing it and drinking it with Amara, his true soulmate and love of his life, so that they could spend eternity together.
* An angry, vengeful, and jealous Qetsiyah used her magic to desiccate Amara before using her indestructible and eternal body as the mystical anchor to The Other Side, a new purgatory like dimension of her own creation that acted as a sort of afterlife for the spirits of deceased supernatural beings.
* Qetsiyah then magically petrified Silas as well before sealing him in a tomb in a cave on an island off of what is now Nova Scotia, Canada. Qetsiyah also created a cure for immortality, and buried it along with Silas in this tomb.
	+ Qetsiyah's intention was to force Silas to have to choose between living in agony as a starving immortal for the rest of his life, or taking the cure and dying a mortal death as a witch. Regardless of which choice Silas made, he would spend eternity without Amara in the peaceful human afterlife where he believed she resided; he would either spend the rest of his immortal life as a statue on earth, or would spend it on the Other Side with Qetsiyah, the outcome she wanted most.

92 BCE

* Sometime after Qetsiyah created the immortality spell, a schism formed in the magical community, and caused many witches, including the group of witches who became known as the Gemini Coven, to fear the amount of power witches like Qetsiyah possessed in order to be able to create such spells. This led to the Travelers killing Qetsiyah in anger for the trouble she had wrought to their group by essentially creating the magical basis from which all forms of immortality would be derived in the future.
* The aforementioned witches then cursed Qetsiyah and Silas' community of witches, who from then on became known as the Travelers due to the fact that they were forced to live as nomads as a side effect of the curse, unable to settle as a community for longer than a few days or perform rituals and spells in groups without risking their homes being devastated by natural disasters such as earthquakes and plagues. This curse also cut the Travelers off from Nature, so they were unable to practice traditional magic, their preferred form of witchcraft.

88 BCE

* As a result of this curse, the Travelers improvised by creating their own form of magic later known as Traveler Magic, a cruder form of their beloved traditional magic that had many more limitations. They also developed an affinity for a form of spirit possession known as Passenger spells, which allowed them to bypass the restriction in their curse that prevented them from congregating as a group by possessing the bodies of non-Travelers; this allowed them to gather and perform spells as a group with no adverse side effects.

* The Travelers eventually came into possession of the literally-petrified Amara and spent over two thousand years constantly moving her body around so she wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. All the while, the Travelers sought Silas' location and the cure to finally destroy the immortals Qetsiyah had unknowingly created with her spell.

### Tenth Century

970 CE

* In the Kingdom of Norway, a large group of Viking warriors attacked a village where two young witches, Esther and Dahlia, were raised. The Vikings easily slaughtered all of the villagers except for the two witches, whom they decided to capture after they saw Dahlia using magic to neutralize the Viking who attempted to attack her younger sister. Before they were captured, the sisters promised each other that they would stand by one another, "always and forever," no matter what happened. It was this vow that would also later be adopted by Esther's children Finn, Elijah, Niklaus, Kol, and Rebekah in the early 11th century.
	+ In order to spare Esther from the horrible physical and psychological abuse she herself would eventually endure from the Vikings, Dahlia agreed to perform the dark magic they demanded in exchange for Esther's protection. As a result of this deal, she was forced to work for them all day in a cramped hovel while Esther was able to spend most of her day outside collecting magical herbs for her.
	+ At some point during their captivity, Esther began to grow closer to one of her Viking captors, Mikael, and after some time, they fell in love and planned to get married and start a family.
		- When Dahlia informed her of a plan she had created to allow them to escape the Vikings' control using potent sage and serpent's blood, Esther confessed that she had decided to stop practicing witchcraft, as she believed she would no longer need it because Mikael would protect her from any harm. Dahlia felt incredibly betrayed by Esther's decision to leave her in favor of marrying one of their captors, believing that she was breaking their vow to always stick together. In her grief, she began sobbing on the floor after Esther left with Mikael. It is believed that this moment is what led to Dahlia swearing to never be oppressed again.

971 CE

* Some time in 971, Mikael and Esther were married and began to try to have children of their own.

972 CE

* in Norway, a barren Esther Mikaelson asked her sister Dahlia to help her conceive a child with magic. Dahlia initially rejected her pleas, as she was still resentful that Esther had abandoned witchcraft and believed if she hadn't, Esther would be able to help herself, but after some convincing, she ultimately agreed. However, Dahlia warned her that it would require heavy sacrifice, which Esther was desperate enough to agree to pay.

* A short time afterward, Mikael and Esther conceived their first child together, and within the year, their daughter, Freya, became their firstborn child.

973 CE

* In Norway, Mikael and Esther had a second child, Finn Mikaelson, who would grow up to be the best friend of his older sister Freya.

977 CE

* When Freya was five years old and just starting to come into her magical abilities, Dahlia sensed her power and came to take her, Esther's firstborn child, as payment for casting the fertility spell in 972. Esther attempted to resist the price of the spell, which caused Dahlia to remind Esther that she hadn't just agreed to give up her own firstborn child to her-- she had also agreed to give up the firstborn witch child of each and every one of Esther's witch descendants for as long as her bloodline existed.

* Esther was so devastated by this event (despite knowing what she was agreeing to when she requested Dahlia cast the spell) that she vowed to return to the dark arts and grow in experience and magical strength until she was powerful enough to rival Dahlia herself. Shortly after Freya was taken, Esther made good on this threat and began practicing witchcraft again.

* Mikael, who was away in battle at the time Freya was taken, was told a lie that Freya died from plague upon his return to their home in Norway. This news ultimately had a permanent effect on the future of his family, as the "death" of his beloved daughter caused Mikael to become withdrawn from Esther and his later children.

* Esther was also pregnant with her third child, Elijah, when Freya was taken away by Dahlia, indicating that Elijah was born later this year or earlier in the following year.

* Freya, now in Dahlia's possession, was immediately taught to use her powers by her new guardian. After a short period of instructing Freya in witchcraft, Dahlia created her own brand of connective magic and bound herself to young Freya in a way that allowed her to augment Freya's powers while still giving herself the ability to also channel her young niece and increase her own power as well.

* Armed with Freya and the immense magical power they shared, Dahlia set out to use it to vanquish her enemies. She began this mission right away by slaying an entire village of Viking men, women, and children with a wave of her hand, as the village was led by a chief who wanted to run her out of the encampment for practicing witchcraft.

978 CE

* The witch Ayana, Esther's friend and mentor, informed Esther of a far-away place where "everybody is healthy and blessed with the gifts of speed and strength." This place was in the New World, and the people she was describing were Werewolves.

980 CE

* A Slayer under the Watcher Great Lady Akimon-in is sacrificed to a dragon by Migoto. The next Slayer, Minomoto Kishi is also activated in Japan. Although tricked into believing Migoto is her Watcher, she uncovers his plot and foils his schemes.

977-Late 990s

* Esther, Mikael, their two sons, (Elijah and Finn) and Ayana (along with several other Norwegian Vikings) migrated to the place that would eventually become known as Mystic Falls, Virginia in the United States of America. They were quickly welcomed into a village in which many werewolves resided and easily integrated into their new home. During the full moon, the Viking colonists would hide inside the extensive cave system under the village to protect themselves from the werewolves while they were transformed.

* The Mikaelson family lived in peace with the natives for over twenty years.

* During this time, Mikael and Esther had four more children together: Niklaus, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik. However, it would soon be revealed that Klaus was not actually Mikael's biological son, but instead was a product of an affair Esther had with Ansel, the chief of the village and the werewolf Alpha of what eventually became known as the North East Atlantic Pack.
	+ Because Klaus inherited the werewolf gene from his true father, Esther spent the rest of Klaus' human life fearing that the Viking warrior culture would cause him to kill and trigger his curse, which would subsequently reveal her infidelity. In order to keep Klaus from activating his werewolf gene for as long as possible, she cast a spell to cause physical weakness on a Starling Necklace in hopes of ensuring Klaus wouldn't have the power to kill anyone. However, it was this magically-induced weakness that caused Mikael, who valued only strength in his offspring, to begin abusing Klaus, and this abuse ultimately played a huge role in making Klaus the paranoid, vengeful, and violent person he became as an adult.
* During this time, the lord Tristan de Martel and his younger sister, the lady Aurora de Martel were born to the Count de Martel and his wife in Marseilles, France. When Aurora was born, her mother died in childbirth, causing Aurora to blame herself for her death for the rest of her life.

### Eleventh Century

1000 CE

* The Temple of the Sun was constructed to protect and house the Holy Grail.
* In the Kingdom of Norway, Freya, now an adult woman, continued to learn witchcraft from Dahlia, and as she grew older, it became exceedingly clear that Freya's magic was out of control, as the firstborn witches of Dahlia and Esther's family's bloodline are known to always possess devastating amounts of power, moreso than the other witches of the bloodline.
	+ After learning that Freya's siblings had been turned into vampires, preventing them from having any children, Dahlia, furious that Esther had essentially weaseled out of their deal by preventing her from taking their firstborn witch children, became determined to figure out a way to get the firstborn Mikaelson witches she desperately craved. Her ultimate goal was to create a coven of powerful witches from whom she could channel and become unstoppable, and it was this goal that led her to realize that she needed to extend her lifespan in order to make her plan work, since she had only Freya to continue the bloodline at this point.
* Dahlia eventually created a spell that would grant a witch an unconventional form of immortality, which would allow them to retain their magic, unlike vampires and true immortals, who lose their magic upon transformation. Though Freya insisted that she wanted no part of this spell, as she viewed the immortality as a curse, Dahlia (seeing this opportunity as both a stop-gap in her quest to true immortality as well as a chance to extend Freya's life so she can have a larger bloodline of Mikaelson witches for Dahlia to take) forced Freya to partake in the ritual against her will. The spell required them to put themselves in a magically-induced sleep for a century while their magic would continue to grow exponentially over that time. When they awoke from this sleep, they would then have more power than they ever dreamed, but it came at a price-- they could only be active for a single year before they had to return their magical slumber for another century and once again build up more of their power. This spell ensured that they would only become more powerful with each century they awakened.

1001

* At some point in this year, Tatia, a Petrova doppelgänger who was the object of affection for both Elijah and Klaus, confessed to Elijah that she loved him, effectively choosing him over his brother. The relationship between Elijah and Tatia grew stronger from then on, with Elijah's mother Esther being so happy that she truly believed that she would call Tatia her daughter once she and Elijah married.

* In the New World, Henrik Mikaelson was killed by werewolves after sneaking out on a full moon with Klaus "to watch the men change into beasts."

* In their grief after losing their youngest son, Mikael and Esther began thinking of magical ways to protect their family in order to ensure that they would never suffer such a loss again. When Esther came upon the Immortality Spell that Qetsiyah created that turned Silas and Amara into the first Immortals, she got the idea to modify it to defend against the werewolves' powers. However, when she approached her mentor, Ayana, and begged her for her magical assistance, Ayana refused, stating that the balance of Nature would not stand for what she wanted to do, and insisting that if Esther proceeded as planned, she would cause the beginning of a plague.

* After much convincing and encouragement from Mikael, Esther ultimately turned the Mikaelson Family into the first vampires using her modified immortality spell shortly after the village celebrated the pagan holiday Samhain. Esther had two reasons for transforming her husband and their children into these immortal vampires: it was both a way protect the rest of her family from losing any other members to the werewolves, and also, secretly, to keep them from bringing forth another generation of witches, since Esther knew that vampires, as undead creatures, could not have biological children, and she also knew that Dahlia intended to return to her in order to claim any firstborn children Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Kol, and Rebekah would potentially have.

* In the spell, she used a small amount of blood that Tatia voluntarily gave her at Esther's request, as Tatia's status as the first Petrova doppelgänger to be born after Amara was made into anImmortal, made her blood a powerful binding agent in witchcraft. She also called on the sun for life and the ancient white oak tree for immortality. As a result, the very first vampires, called the Originals, were created.

* Shortly afterward, the recently-turned Original vampires unintentionally made their first human kills, revealing that an all-consuming hunger for human blood was an unforeseen side-effect of vampirism, a hunger that the Mikaelson children had yet to learn to control. After Klaus killed his first human, he immediately began shifting into a werewolf, revealing his newly activated hybrid nature and making it known that Klaus was not Mikael's biological son, but was instead a product of the affair Esther had with Ansel, a werewolf and the Alpha of the North East Atlantic Pack, the same pack to which the werewolf who accidentally killed Henrik belonged.

* During Klaus' first werewolf transformation after making his first human kill, he ran into the woods and accidentally slaughtered six villagers who happened to be there that night.

* Elijah's lover, Tatia, caught him consoling Klaus the morning after his first full-moon-induced transformation and saw the victims of his bloodlust surrounding him in the woods. When Elijah saw the look of horror and disgust on Tatia's face, he chased after her to explain what had happened, and Tatia, in her fear, accidentally cut her hand open when she tripped and fell on a tree root. The scent of her blood was too overwhelming for the newly-turned Elijah, who was unable to resist his newborn vampire bloodlust and ultimately fed on her until she died.

* Afterward, Elijah realized he had inadvertently caused the death of the woman he loved and became so desperate that he brought Tatia's body to his mother in order to seek her help. Esther felt guilty for the fact that Elijah had made his first human kill as a result of the fact that she turned him into a vampire and knew that Elijah was devastated by the fact that he murdered the love of his life. So, she magically altered his memories so he would not have to suffer for what he had done. The spell she cast created a door in his mind behind which the memories of Tatia's death were stored, and because Elijah lost his memories of the event, he (and the rest of his siblings) mistakenly believed that Esther had killed Tatia in order to use her blood to bind the Hybrid Curse, an incorrect assumption that Esther encouraged in order to hide the truth. However, an unforeseen consequence of the spell cast on Elijah's memories was that it created the "red door" behind which Elijah would later begin store each and every memory of all of his violent actions over the course of his thousand-year-long life.

* Mikael was furious at his wife's betrayal, and the Spirits were intent to restore the balance of Nature that had been disturbed when Klaus' hybrid nature made him nearly invulnerable. So, in order to make up for her mistakes, Esther cast a curse on Klaus using the remaining doppelgänger blood left in Tatia's deceased body as a binding agent, which then bound his werewolf heritage and essentially made the majority of his werewolf powers dormant.

* Upon learning that Klaus' biological father was the chief of the werewolf pack whose member killed his son Henrik, Mikael went into an intense rage and killed at least half of their village, including Ansel and the majority of his pack. This act would ultimately ignite a war between the two species that still rages on in the present day, though enough members of Ansel's family survived for his bloodline to survive into the 21st century.

* Klaus, feeling betrayed by his mother for her lies, strangled Esther to death and blamed Mikael for the act, causing his siblings to turn their backs on their father out of anger.

* After Niklaus, Elijah and Rebekah fled the family home following Esther's death to escape their father, Mikael, Elijah and Rebekah assured Klaus that they were not going to desert him, and the three of them swore an oath to stay together "Always and Forever," a phrase that would bind the three of them together as siblings for eternity. Soon afterward, the three left the village and returned to the Old World, where they reunited with their brothers Kol and Finn.
* Ayana makes a deal with a Crossroads Demon to resurrect Henrik Mikaelson, but keeps him hidden from the rest of his family.

1002 CE

* Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Kol, and Rebekah, having made it back to Europe following their transformations into vampires and the death of their mother, eventually ended up in southern France after spending the the last half-year (autumn and winter of 1001 AD) running from Mikael. Elijah insisted that they do everything in their power to not draw attention to themselves out of fear their father would find them, and enacted several rules by which the five of them would abide to ensure their success, which included feeding discretely, covering their tracks, and killing anyone who learned the truth about what they were so they could not spread rumor of the existence of vampires.
* The five Mikaelson siblings had numerous arguments about their new lifestyle and what they should do next. Kol thought it would be best if they split up, since Mikael couldn't go after all of them at once, and though Finn wasn't keen on separating, he and Rebekah yearned for ordinary lives that they couldn't live on the run, but Elijah and Klaus eventually ruled to stay together, as they had made a vow to be a family, always and forever.
* After the siblings had fed on and killed four noblemen and one noblewoman who appeared to be heading toward the castle not far from where they were, Rebekah had the idea to take their clothes and carriage and go to the castle in their victims' place. The five of them were divided on the subject, especially considering they were in a strange new country whose customs and culture they did not understand.
	+ While they were debating, Elijah found the servant of their deceased victims, a man named Lucien Castle who was so terrified after witnessing them slaughtering the guests he was meant to deliver that he begged them to allow him to help them blend into the French court by teaching them their customs in exchange for sparing his life. Though Elijah reminded them that they had a rule to kill anyone who found out they were vampires, he was eventually overruled, and the Mikaelsons decided to do as Lucien requested and allow him to live so he could tell them everything they needed to know to pass for the children of the French Count de Guise at the castle.
* The Mikaelsons and Lucien soon arrived at the castle wearing their victims' clothes, where Lucien instructed them on how to introduce themselves to Count de Martel and how to appear to be wealthy nobles rather than the scared immigrants that they were. Lucien then introduced them to the Count. Though they were nearly exposed as frauds when Count de Martel claimed the Count de Guise had never mentioned children, Elijah, Klaus and Rebekah managed to talk their way out of it and were invited to stay in their home.
* While at the celebration, Lucien and Klaus talked privately, during which time Lucien admitted that his master, Count de Martel, treated him cruelly, and that even knowing that Klaus and his siblings were vampires, Lucien believed the Count and the nobles were even greater monsters than they are. Lucien then stated that he'd be happy to see them all dead, which seemed to endear him to Klaus. When Tristan and Aurora de Martel arrived and joined the party, Klaus seemed immediately smitten with Aurora and asked Lucien about them. Lucien explained that they were the Count's children and warned him it would likely be best to stay away from them, describing Tristan as being "wicked" and alluding to the fact that he had romantic feelings for Aurora as well.
* Some time later, the Mikaelsons had thoroughly assimilated into their new lives at the Court of Marseilles. During a celebration in the castle yard, Lucien approached Klaus with a letter for Aurora and begged him to give it to her, as the two had shared romantic feelings for each other since childhood but Lucien was unable to declare his intentions due to his low station. Klaus, who, unbeknowst to anyone, was engaging in an affair with Aurora himself, was torn between helping his friend and maintaining his new life, so he ultimately agreed to give Aurora the letter, but then later lied and claimed that Aurora refused to accept it.
* Lucien, still a determined romantic, went to Aurora's room to speak with her and found Klaus and Aurora together, leaving him devastated. Tristan's guards, having seen Lucien enter Aurora's chambers, approached the room, and though Klaus was able to get away at Aurora's urging, Lucien didn't move quickly enough and was caught by Tristan.
	+ Tristan, furious at Lucien, ordered his guards to take him to the cellar, where he later whipped the servant until his back was raw and bloody. Klaus and Elijah confronted Tristan and attempted to stop him, but Tristan revealed that he knew what they were, as he had spoken to a woman who had escaped with her life after Kol had attacked and fed on her village. Klaus was about to torture Tristan, but when he revealed that he had arranged for his fastest riders to spread news of the Mikaelsons being frauds and demons, Elijah forced him to stand down. Afterward, Tristan insisted that they were all the same and were simply trying to protect their families before he sliced Lucien's mouth open from ear to ear.
	+ Once Tristan left, Klaus tried to feed Lucien water to help soothe his wounds, but it only hurt him more. When Klaus hugged him and apologized for what happened, Lucien angrily stabbed him in the stomach with Tristan's knife, not knowing that it would do him no harm. Upon contact with Klaus' blood, Lucien's wounds began to heal, surprising both men, as the Original vampires were not aware of this aspect of their powers. Lucien, believing that he had become the same creature as Klaus, fled to attack Tristan, only to be killed before he could even harm him. Believing him to be truly dead, Klaus and Elijah prepared a traditional Viking funeral for Lucien and sadly discussed how confusing it was that their blood could heal the living but not the dead. Just before Klaus could set fire to Lucien's funeral pyre, Lucien awoke in transition, once again shocking them both. Shortly afterward, Lucien fed on the blood of one of the members of the court, completing his transition and becoming the first vampire to ever be sired by one of the Originals. He then begged Klaus to teach him to be what they are, and Klaus eventually agreed. Elijah would later say that Lucien brought out Klaus' bad side, but Klaus would insist that they brought out the worst in each other.
* After Lucien's transformation, he continued to feed alongside the rest of the Mikaelsons during their stay at the Court de Martel.
* Klaus and Aurora continued to carry on their relationship in secret, during which time Aurora asked him on numerous occasions to turn her into a vampire like him so no one could keep them apart. Klaus, not wanting to damn her to his fate, refused.
	+ On her birthday, Klaus found her crying in her room, and after some coaxing, Aurora admitted that her birthday wasn't a time of celebration because she had killed her mother in childbirth, and as a result, she was broken and cursed. Klaus, feeling badly for her, tried to make her feel better by confessing that he had killed his mother and blamed it on his father after she turned him and his siblings into vampires, and assured her that she was not as cursed as he was. Aurora believed this was proof that they were the same and begged him to turn her, but he refused once again. Finally, Aurora became so desperate that she slit her own wrists in her bed in an attempt to take her own life. Rebekah ultimately found her and fed her her own vampire blood to heal her, and after Rebekah echoed Klaus' earlier sentiments regarding not wanting to curse anyone to their life, Aurora sadly asked her to leave so she could sleep. Once she was gone, Aurora jumped out of her window, killing herself and turning herself into Rebekah's first vampire progeny.
	+ After Aurora finished her transition, she met with Klaus, who was horrified at first, but then eventually made love to her, and both of them with thrilled to be in a relationship where they were both as powerful, strong, and cursed as the other.
	+ Shortly afterward, news began to spread through the nearby village of demons who feed on blood, and Finn became furious that Klaus and Kol's antics, along with those of Lucien and now Aurora, have caused word to spread of them. Realizing that their father Mikael was coming for them, Elijah decided that they needed to flee.
		- Aurora ran into Elijah as he was packing to leave, and when he told her they had to flee, Aurora stated that she would come with them. Elijah immediately rejected her, stating that Mikael's curse was theirs and theirs alone, and that Aurora wasn't their blood. Aurora, so angry about being left behind, stated that blood didn't matter since she knew things about Klaus that none of his family did. Elijah became furious at this remark and unconsiously compelled her to tell him what she knew, forcing her to confess that Klaus had killed their mother, blamed in on their father, and lied about it to his siblings to prevent them from abandoning him. Elijah was so upset about this confession that he then once again used compulsion to make Aurora find Klaus wretched and cruel in punishment for what he had done.
		- When Klaus came to Aurora to ask her to run away with him, Aurora was unable to accept, and instead told him that while she thought she loved him, she has suddenly seen him clearly and realized that he was pathetic, cruel, and not deserving of her. Klaus began to cry and told her she was breaking his heart, but Aurora was unable to take back what she had said.
* Before the Mikaelsons fled the Court of Marseilles, Elijah personally sired his own first vampire, Tristan de Martel. Then, having begun to understand how vampire compulsion works, Elijah compelled Lucien, Aurora, and Tristan to believe that they were Klaus, Rebekah, and himself before then compelling them to flee France, effectively making them bait for Mikael, who was on their way to hunt them down. This compulsion would hold for over a hundred years until the real Mikaelsons were daggered in the 12th century, effectively breaking the mind control Elijah had used on them. Despite Mikael's best efforts, Lucien, Aurora and Tristan were able to evade him for the entirety of their lives as they traveled across Europe.
	+ Once the Mikaelsons' progeny had fled the court, the five Mikaelsons traveled south to Tuscany, Italy, staying in the country for an unknown period of time.
