Chapter 10

Alex started spending more time with Hope who was happy as he said"Hope about the hollow. I have a solution for it."Hope was surprised as her Aunt Freya and Aunt Davina were not able to find anything she soon snapped out of it asked"Are you serious?"Alex nodded and replied, "Yes I found a way in my grimoire."

Alex soon told abut the Grimhold and how it worked as Hope was crying tears of joy as with this her family will be able to come together again. Hope soon told Freya about this as she was staring at Grimhold in shock after all this little nesting doll was the answer to all their problems as Freya seriously asked"Alex this Grimhold will really be able to imprison the hollow without any problems?."

Alex answered, "Absolutely if we imprison it in the Grimhold the Hollow will die with enough time."Freya with worry asked, "What if someone opens it?"Alex shook his head and replied, "I keyed it to be such that only I am able to open it. As an added security I will keep somewhere no one will reach it."Freya nodded as she winched and replied"Your mother and father won't allow this as this is too risky for them."

Hope sighed and replied, "Come on Aunt Freya with this the Hollow will be gone and our family can be together again."Freya shook her head and replied, "Sorry this is way too risky."

Before Hope could convince her Freya shook her head and said"Hope you are not going to attempt anything stupid like this okay."Hope with a soft tone replied, "Please aunt Freya this is the only way."While Freya knew this was the only way as one more meeting between any of the Mikaelson's will start the plagues. The alternative was returning the hollow back to Hope which is not something Freya wanted to do. Freya sighed and said, "I will help only way to get them all is to create a Chambre de Chasse and get their bodies here so we can perform Spirit Confinement Reversal Spell."

Alex pitched in"I can modify the spell such that it will not enter Hope's body instead will be stuck inside the salt square."Hope nodded as Freya went to do the Chambre de chasse and get their bodies here as the only thing to do was wait.

Alex knew what Chambre de Chasse was as it is a magically constructed location that exists on the astral plane represented by a specific mindscape usually depicted as a room. They are created with Representational Magic using representational totems to draw and anchor the minds of others. When the destruction of the said totem is destroyed, the person can leave the Chambre de Chasse.

Alex chuckled and said, "I knew you would attempt this and why do I get the feeling you have thought about this many times."Hope looked sheepish as she said"Yes I have thought about this many times as I was the reason my family is being kept apart. So I did think about summoning the Hollow and holding it inside me."

Alex shook his head and replied "You idiot the Hollow is the most powerful ancestral spirit to ever have lived to think about it.I am sure it will have subtly influenced you and when you are probably physically and Emotionally weak she would have taken control of your body and the first thing it would have done would be killing the people who imprisoned her that is your family."Hope was horrified as she heard what Alex said as he continued"Also it will use you as a hostage to make sure none of the Mikaelson's will be able to kill it and it may even make sure it will be imprisoned again."

Hope was thoughtful as Alex held her hand as he said"Hope, please tell me everything and don't do anything like this as it would destroy both mine and your family's heart."Hope nodded this time genuinely as she pouted and said"I will tell you before doing anything crazy like that happy."Alex smiled and kissed her on the forehead which made her smile as both just cuddled just enjoying each other's company.

Just as Freya said the spell was performed and the bodies of the originals were brought and placed within a salt square, absent of bisecting designs. Their bodies are placed within the square, heads positioned at the corners. At the center of each side, four runes are drawn within the square: Hagalaz (ᚺ), Thurisaz (ᚦ), Dagaz (ᛞ) and Othal (ᛟ) and each Mikaelson positioned between corresponding runes, i.e. Kol, Rebekah, Klaus, and Elijah counter-clockwise with respect to Othal, Hagalaz, Thurisaz, and Dagaz. Three candles are placed at each corner's edge, with each side, at its center, with a bowl of blood between two candles. Within the center of the square, seven candles are placed.

He sighed as she started to chant the spell as it summoned four pieces of a previously split spirit from all the four originals as Alex immediately opened the Grimhold as the Hollow got sucked into it as the image of inadu was on it now.
