Training And Power (Edited)

(Erik POV)

It has been six years since I have been reborn, I have learned what people are saying, and can actually comprehend it. Never looking at languages the same after being reborn, with people talking an effectively gruff and exotic language. To the ear of an American from the twenty-first century who only knew Spanish and English. I have also started my sword training with Klaus, from Mikael.

While Klaus is a prodigy with a sword. The necklace our mother gave him, makes him weak. I have tried to take it, to destroy it, but either Mother put a protection and linking spell on it, or keeps making a new one for Klaus. So she can keep her secret lover's bastards, from being discovered. She made me a bracelet, but I was able to get rid of it, by saying.

"Mother I will not be weak, no matter who for. Keep your charm of weakness, away from me."

She went ghostly pale but never brought it up again. Back to sword fighting. I thought I learned from a master, in my past life. But if that was a master of the sword, Mikael, is a war god with a sword. I have yet to see even Finn land a hit on him.

When I go for a slash, he steps to the side, just barely out of my reach. When I tried to block a hit from Mikael, my arms were instantly numb. So.... I choose to dodge his next few swings, with a SHARPENED BLADE,

until I'm too tired. Seeing that he goes to backhand me, just as he was about to make contact, I stepped right outside of his hand, and punched him in the balls. After stepping into his guard, watching as he dropped, to one knee,

I looked at him, then my hand, then start jumping for joy, but I get spun around by Mikael, and he spoke.

"You boy, will be learning from me in the mornings before dawn, from now on. I will sharpen your body, and mind. To be a warrior, as great as any in Valhalla."

I run back towards my siblings Finn and Elijah, the oldest of us, both with dark brown hair, and eyes. Then there is Klaus, with his curls of dirty blonde hair and blue-green eyes. All 3 had their jaws hanging open, and I smirk as I say.

"Looks like I'm the best fighter of the Mikaelson clan brothers."

"Haha brother, really funny but don't worry, I'll catch up."

Klaus said with false confidence, I snort and speak.

"Dear twin of mine, stop wearing that necklace and you will be better at everything physical you can do, I promise you."

"Don't Niklaus. Mother would be mad, and there is no magic in that necklace. I don't feel anything."

Finn said. Not saying I don't love him, but he is the type of person, who would still be attached to his mother's tit. I just glare at him and tear the necklace off of Klaus. Causing him to squeal in alarm, as I hold the necklace to Finn, while in my anger, I instinctively unlock my magic. But unlike normal witches. I was a siphoner, so my hand glows a bright red, while I say.

"It does have magic in it. To do what, I don't exactly know what of. But what I do know, is physically, I feel weaker when wearing my bracelet. The same goes for Klaus. He is just used to feeling that weak. While I never really wore that charmed bracelet, so I felt the difference between the two."

And throw the necklace to Klaus, muttering.

"Sorry brother."

And walking to our home, with really only 4 rooms. The gathering room or the kitchen, and living room mixed together. The children's rooms, with me, Elijah, and Finn in one room. And Klaus has a room with our two little siblings Kol, who is only a year younger than us, and Rebekah, the only girl, since Freya. Mikael has a giant soft spot for her. The youngest of us Mikaelson children, was born only a week ago. Little Henrik, the sacrificial lamb, that made Esther and Mikael, lose their minds. To curse their remaining children, with vampirism, I want to save him. I have even tried to talk to Klaus about how dangerous the wolves can be, only for the words to be caught in my throat like something was preventing me from saying anything. I'll just have to stop them from leaving the cave in the future. But Henrik is still with Esther and Mikael, in their room. Speaking of Esther, she looked at me, then closed her eyes, before saying.

"You unlocked your power, my son. Tell me, how you did that?"

I looked at her, then shrugged before saying.

"Well, I was training with father, when I was able to dodge his swing, and I.... I kind of punched him in his balls, before he told me I was to train with him in the mornings from now on. I then went to Finn, Elijah, and Klaus telling them what Father said. Klaus said that he will catch up soon. So, I told him if he stopped wearing that necklace, he would feel stronger and be better physically. Finn told him not to and there wasn't magic in it. I took the necklace and my hands glowed red, when I felt an energy, enter my body."

When I finished speaking, Esther was looking at me with surprise, anger, and fear, before throwing me a magical object and saying.

"Do it again my son."

When I felt for the magic, it was like a black hole in the center of my being, that sucked in all the magic it could. So, I let it do so. Slowly, my hands began to glow red, and I felt the magic temporarily strengthening me. When I was finished, I was scooped up by Esther and she was whispering apologies to me about me being cursed. What she doesn't know is I will be a defunct tribrid. If the day comes, that we are to become vampires. From that day onwards I spent the mornings with Mikael before the sun rose and at night, in the peak of moonlight, with Esther, as she and Anaya taught me what they could of magic. Years passed until Henrik was 13, Rebekah was 17, Kol was 18, Klaus and I were 19, Elijah was 23 and Finn was 27. A certain female Doppelganger came to our village, but unlike the show where Klaus and Elijah, were fighting over Tatia. When she and I saw each other, it was like a song playing in our heads and hearts. Within months of her moving to the village, we were together, having nights of unbelievable passion. Till one fateful night, me and Tatia snuck out into the woods, wanting to have some alone time, while the villagers were hiding in the caves. I should have paid attention to my siblings and not her that night, but I lost myself when around her. Tatia and I spent the night making love under the moonlight, until dawn. When we awoke we went back to the village. As we got to my family's hovel. with hers being next door, where I have been staying with her. When we heard Klaus, yelling.

"MOTHER, MOTHER, HELP HIM PLEASE."

I froze. It happened, I didn't pay attention, and my youngest sibling died.
