Kol Mikaelson – Journey To The Multiverse - Chapter 16
=PART-1
After coming back from the other side, Kol realized that he needed to make some changes in his life. Starting with resurrecting Qetsiyah.
He had been ignoring this problem until now because unconsciously, Kol had started to like the quiet life in the dimension of the Other Side. Away from the hustle and bustle of the kingdom.
In his previous life, Kol lived a lonely life. He had to do everything himself. So, although he had adjusted well in this new world, he still preferred a quiet, peaceful life. Perhaps a life with the family was better, but he still needed a place where people would not follow him around to take orders. A place where he could cook and not be bothered by the roaming chef.
Kol treated the dimension of The Other Side as a get-away. A place where he could let his guard down and just enjoy life and Qetsiyah was the reason why he went there. If there was no Qetsiyah, then Kol would have no reason to go to a different dimension every week.
In recent years, after building up his kingdom, Kol had become lazy. His last encounter with the travelers was a reminder that he should not be complacent just because he had everything he ever wanted, because someday when he let his guard down, someone stronger, smarter, or craftier might come along and take away everything he held dear.

More than half a century ago, many teams of spies from the Polaris kingdom were sent all over the world.
Kol had named his kingdom, ‘The Polaris Kingdom’, which is the brightest start in the constellation of Ursa Minor.
Just a few days after the events that took place in The Other Side, Kol sent orders to all his spies to monitor the activities of the travelers.
After the spies monitored their activities, several teams would be sent to wipe them out. Then the envoys from all races would soon follow. They would initiate Kol’s long term plans to slowly take over the world.
————Scene -Resurrection.
Two years after the events that took place in The Other Side.
In the bas.e.m.e.nt of Kol’s manor.
Currently, a group of witches were surrounding a spell formation and chanting a long spell.
Kol was standing before another spell formation that was smaller than the one surrounded by the witches. Both the formations were close to each other and connected together by strange yet mysterious symbols.
As the witches were chanting their spells, Kol was doing hand signs in front of the smaller spell formation. A bit rough, cubical stone could be seen in the middle.
This cubical stone was actually the headstone that was placed on Silas’s tomb by Qetsiyah. It contained her calcified blood.
As Kol proceeded with his spell, in a few seconds, he pushed his right hand forward and a green magic circle materialized out of thin air. It was facing the calcified blood that was floating in the air.
Kol then slowly rotated his wrist as if to open a doorknob and the magic circle started to rotate along with it.
As the circle rotated, changes could be seen on the calcified blood. It was as if the time was turning back. Before long, the blood was no longer calcified as it floated in the air.
This was the time magic. Kol did not need time stone to do time magic as he had already altered the spell and now he could do it with the cosmic energy. The only problem was that it took a very large amount of energy to do time magic. So, he could not resurrect Qetsiyah with time magic alone. That would require him to turn back time for more than a thousand years.
As the blood was purified, Kol stopped his spell and let the blood float on the magic formation. After taking a few deep breaths, he activated the formation by releasing a little mana in it.
As the formation started, the blood began to multiply by itself. Tendons and boned started to grow out of it as the shape of a body slowly formed. Before long, it looked like a women’s body.
It was Qetsiyah’s body at the time of her death.
The big magic formation drew mana from the atmosphere and supplied it to the witches who were casting a big spell. It also worked as a special type of summoning formation.
After her body was formed, Kol looked at the big spell formation.
At this point, the witches had stopped their spell. In the middle of the formation, Qetsiyah’s soul could be seen floating. She had a happy and excited expression on her face.
Kol then proceeded to put Qetsiyah’s soul in her body.
From now on, he would have to say goodbye to the quiet, peaceful life of the Other Side, but at the same time, he just had to reunite with his siblings and his family would then be complete. Though it would have to wait.

=PART-3
Soon after resurrecting Qetsiyah, Kol gave her the new immortality elixir as a symbol of their love. From that moment on, their love would be everlasting.
A year after the events that took place in the Other Side, Kol summoned the witch leaders of every coven in his kingdom for a meeting and offered them generous terms for their siphons.
The witch leaders had doubts about Kol intentions, but by this point, most of them had already trusted him quite a lot. Not to mention his generous terms and the fact that the siphons were already considered abominations by many witch communities, and may even face harsh treatment by their covens when discovered.
When they were already conflicted, Kol clearly stated his intentions towards siphons. He told them that he was building up a special squad in order to better protect their kingdom. When it was stated clearly, the witch leaders no longer hesitated and put forward the names of the siphons born in their coven.
Although siphons were rare, but not as rare. Polaris kingdom was a big kingdom, and they had many covens, so Kol managed to acquire quite a few siphons for his plans.
On the other hand, the witch leaders were very happy to gain favor from their king, not to mention the generous terms offered.
=PART-4
In the year 1217 AD. A couple of years after the events that took place in The Other Side.
Kol received an unexpected visitor in his manor.
After the afternoon tea, he was just about to go to the underground laboratory when the housekeeper informed him of a female vampire wearing the Mikaelson family crest, seeking an audience with him.
At first, he thought that it could be one of the vampires sent by his siblings or his father, but when he went to the audience room, he was surprised to see a familiar face.
It was not someone he had met in this life, but Kol had seen her on the TV show in his previous life.
The vampire Sage. She was the lover of his eldest brother, Finn. It was quite unexpected that she would come here.
Kol decided to read her mind with his mental abilities. By this point, he had honed his mental abilities enough to read someone else’s mind without them even noticing.
She was leaning back on the couch in a relaxed manner and had a drink in her hand as one of the housemaids stood aside, tending to her needs.
Since she carried the Mikaelson family crest, her treatment was different than the usual guests.
Kol walked to the couch in front of her and sat down. Then he spoke as the maid filled up his glass, “My time is quite precious. Do you mind telling me, how have you come in possession of Mikaelson family crest?”.
Sage was quite curious about this, Kol. She had heard quite a lot about him from every Mikaelson sibling. When she heard him speak, she leaned forward as she spoke, “Yes! I am Sage, a vampire send by your siblings. They seek a reunion after so many years.”.
As she replied, Kol raised an eyebrow and spoke, “Oh! And what would be the special occasion for a reunion after so many years?”.
As Kol spoke, a hint of hope flashed in her eyes as she replied, “Your sister Rebekah is getting married to a wealthy noble.”.
As Kol spoke the first few words, she had a hopeful expression on her face, but as he continued to speak, her expression became somewhat bleak.
She replied with an expressionless face, “I am the wife of your brother, Finn. Our marriage wasn’t as grand an occasion. I am but a common girl, so when we fell in love, we just declared our marriage.”.
At this point, Kol was looking at her straight in the eyes. When he saw that her expression did not change, he rolled his eyes as he spoke, “Oh cut the crap lady! Do you think me a fool? You are but a lover of my brother, Finn. My sister Rebekah is not getting married at all. You just want to lure me to my siblings, so that I would see their situation, and rescue Finn.”, at this point, he paused.
Kol then continued, “Finn fell in love with you and so he wanted to leave the rest of my siblings to spend his life with you. Then Niklaus felt betrayed by his decision, so he dagger-ed him and put his desiccated body into a coffin.”.
At this point, Sage put down her glass and looked at Kol with a vigilant expression. As Kol spoke she had a fearful expression. She must have thought that Kol was in league with Niklaus, but as he continued, she made her resolve as her heart tightened. She knew that she stood no chance, but she could still escape as she did before with Niklaus.
When Kol saw her vigilance, he spoke with a soft voice, “You don’t have to be alarmed, I mean no harm.”.
She did not lower her vigilance. On the contrary, she tightened her muscles. Seeing her so, Kol suddenly tightened his eyes and released telekinesis.
Sage felt her body lifted in the air. She struggled, but to no avail. In the end, she stopped struggling and just stared at Kol straight in the eyes, waiting for him to reveal his intention.
Kol’s telekinesis was in fact not strong enough to bound vampires, but he lifted Sage, strait in the air, where she had no footing. So she could not make use of her enhanced vampire muscles to break his telekinesis.
Seeing her expression change to calm, he continued, “I do not agree with my brother Niklaus. I promise you that not only will I free Finn, but I will see to it that you two have a proper marriage.”.
At this point, Sage’s calm expression turned into a hopeful one. With his strength, Kol did not need to deceive her at all.
She spoke with a ray of light in her eyes, “Really? You would do that? It seems that I have misjudged you. I apologize for my earlier deception. I was just being cautious.”.
At this point, a hint of mockery flashed in Kol’s eyes as he replied, “Yes! The fact that my brother Finn has fallen in love with you earns you this precedence, but then there is also the fact that you tried to deceive me at our first meeting. Now, you do understand if I have doubts about my brother’s choice, do you not? So I must test you first.”.
As Kol spoke, Sage’s expression turned somewhat bleak, but then again, Kol was her only hope. Her only way to fight against the original vampires and free the love of her life. So, her expression turned into a resolute one.
Kol then continued before she could reply, “And then there is also the fact that I am the king of a country. Considering the fact that my brother Finn is not here and therefore your marriage is not official, I can not simply pardon your behavior, now can I?”, Kol then paused.
Kol again continued, “So how about this. You become my general and lead a part of my army. To be specific, a part of my vampire army. If you do well, then I will keep my end of the bargain and free Finn when fate would reunite me with my siblings. But, at the same time, I will not actively seek them, nor can you do anything, whether directly or indirectly, to lure them to me. What do you think?”.
From the TV show, Kol knew that Sage would be a very good general, and he was in need of someone who wasn’t just loyal to him because of some magic potion or ring.
Kol was not worried that Sage could sway his loyal soldiers. As long as they wore the daylight rings, those vampires would only be loyal to him. Plus his mental abilities were not just for show. If she did plan something, then Kol would be the first one to know.
Not to mention the fact that he was her only hope. Currently, Sage could do anything to free Finn and Kol was going to make full use of her dedication.
————Scene END———–
It did not take long for Sage to agree to his conditions and swear loyalty to him. Vampires were immortal creatures and Kol’s test was exactly just that.
If Sage could hold on to that love for his brother Finn for a few centuries, then he did not mind reuniting them and seeing to their marriage.
Kol knew from the TV show that it was true. Sage did indeed wait for Finn for more than nine hundred years. But, then again, the situation there was different. So, he decided to test her and make use of her dedication to get a loyal, capable general. It was like hitting two birds with one stone.
