Kol Mikaelson – Journey To The Multiverse - Chapter 8

=PART-1

After all the werewolves had taken the serum, Kol finally went to negotiate with the werewolf alpha of the largest werewolf pack in the area.

They were called the cold-creek werewolves. The werewolves in this pack had a special trait. When they transformed, they had a snow-white hide and forest green eyes. They were a beautiful group of creatures, though still extremely deadly.

————Scene -Negotiating With The Werewolves.

Currently, Kol was sitting in a small lounge inside the garden of the biggest mansion of cold-creek town.

In this age, villages and small settlements were the most common, but the towns still existed.

Kol was leaning back and drinking wine. In front of him, the werewolf alpha was sitting, sipping wine from his glass from time to time and observing Kol.

It could be said that Kol had learned the art of negotiation, quite well, over the years. He had learned that patience was the most important thing during negotiations and not letting the other party know your intentions, always meant that you would have the initiative. Kol always kept relaxed, but poker face.

After a while, frustrated by the fact that he could not see through Kol, the werewolf alpha spoke, “So, mister Mikaelson, I wonder what is this about?! Your visit is quite unexpected.”.

The werewolf alpha was a native American, named Enzo. He was a middle-aged, brown skinned man with a muscular body and long, dark hair.

Kol took another sip from his glass and said, “Mister Enzo! As you know, although we have the werewolves in our Krypto-eden town as well but other werewolf packs in the area are not as friendly to the new races. Since you are the largest werewolf pack in the area, today, I was hoping to put an end to all these meaningless disputes.”.

Enzo suddenly tightened his body and replied, “Yes I have heard about that.! Perhaps if they were not as busy trying to save themselves from total extinction, they could try to be more understandable.”

“Ha ha ha ha”, Kol suddenly laughed and straightened up his body. As he laughed, his eyes started to glow with red light more and more and he continued with an evil smile, “Mister Enzo is really funny! I haven’t had such a good laugh in while.!”

As his eyes glowed red, Enzo started to shake a little. Werewolves could sense danger even in their human form and Enzo could sense just how terrifying the little energy leaked from Kol’s eyes was. It caught him completely off guard. All his senses were screaming for him to abandon everything and run away.

After a couple of seconds, Kol’s eyes turned back to normal and the pressure that Enzo had been feeling, disappeared. Kol then continued, “You know, I have realized my mistakes. From the moment I came here, I have only tried to conquer others with force. From your perspective, it might seem like I am some kind of arrogant tyrant. I have never actually shown any goodwill to anyone, have I.?”.

At this point, Kol waved his hand at one of his followers who was standing behind him. He was holding a large wooden box.

On Kol’s signal, he came forward and put the box down on the table.

Kol continued, “Mister Enzo, let me introduce you to Jack. He is a werewolf. One of my most trusted subordinates.”. After a short silence, Kol continued, “Jack! Would you be so kind, to show Mister Enzo your talents.?”

Jack did not reply, but walked a bit further and started taking his clothes off, Enzo and the werewolves who were standing behind him were watching closely.

After taking off his clothes, Jack screamed as his body tightened.

First, bones started to break and shift all over his body as he screamed in pain. Then, the painful screams turned into growls and hairs started to grow on his skin as his muscles started to tightened and condense. His body became more slender. In the end, a tall wolf stood where Jack had been standing as he let out a wolf’s howl.

The whole process only took a couple of seconds. This turning speed was almost unbelievable. Everyone on the scene was shocked. Today was not even a full moon and currently, it was in the middle of the day.

Enzo and all his followers were also shocked, but the reason that Enzo was shocked was not that Jack could transform without the full moon. In fact, there were some werewolf tribes in Louisiana, who had such traits that they could transform without the full moon.

Enzo was shocked by the fact that Jack was not attacking anyone in his wolf form. That meant that he was able to control himself after his transformation and yet, he was not attacking Kol. That could only mean that Jack followed Kol willingly and had no grievances towards him. That is not what Enzo had heard.

It was needless to say that either Enzo’s information was wrong or there was more to Kol than he had thought. What could make Jack so afraid that he wouldn’t attack Kol, even when he had already transformed?.

Jack then transformed back, wore his clothes and went back to stand behind Kol.

At this point, Kol spoke, “I know what Mister Enzo has been thinking and the answer is a ‘no’. Jack’s parents were not the werewolves from the different tribes, possessing different traits. Jack used to be just like any other werewolf. He did not have control over his transformation either.”.

It was clear that Kol had misjudged what Enzo had been thinking, but Enzo was so shocked by what Kol said that he completely ignored the misunderstanding.

At this point, Kol opened the wooden box that was on the table. When it opened, separate layers of wooden shelves unfolded, like a women’s makeup kit from the twentieth century.

Every shelf was filled with uniformly arranged glass vials and glowing orange liquid could be seen inside them. The bottom of the wooden box was filled with syringes.

Kol continued, “This is what I call, the serum. Most of the werewolves from Krypto-eden town have already taken it and they can all control their transformation. You know where I am going with this. You can ask one of your followers to test it. All you have to do is inject it in your bloodstream with this syringe. Would you like a demonstration.?”.

Enzo had an unbelievable expression at this point. This was utterly preposterous. In fact, most of his followers behind him were sneering and talking among themselves without any discipline.

They had tried to break this curse that had haunted them for ages, yet no witch could ever find a solution. But, no matter how unbelievable, if it were true and Enzo just let it go, then he would be the most ignorant werewolf in history. No to mention, Kol would not just initiate that conversation, if he did not have at least some sort of proof.

In the end, Enzo waved his hand and one of his followers came forward with mirth in his eyes. Kol then took a syringe, filled it with the serum and injected it inside Enzo’s follower’s bloodstream from the vein in his arm.

After a few minutes, changes started to happen. First, he turned into a werewolf and then turned back into a human and passed out.

At this point, everyone on Enzo’s side was dumbfounded, including Enzo himself. They had just seen an unbelievable thing happen before their very eyes.

Kol suddenly broke the silence with an evil smile and a hint of mischief in his eyes, “Now, let us talk about the farm fields in the west of your town and the werewolf packs that are too close to Krypto-eden town. They were not there when the town was being built, but suddenly showed up when we had a good foothold. I think they might have unkind intentions. What do you think about this matter.?”.

Kol had to let Enzo believe that this was a trade, rather than him just giving away such a magical serum for free, so that Enzo would not find anything strange.

At this point, Enzo had completely calmed down. Currently what he was thinking about was, how he could get his hands on that serum. The pain of transformation was torturous. Especially for the newly awakened werewolves. It took them hours to transform, where every bone in their body would break and every muscle would shift many times. This kind of pain was almost unimaginable and with that serum, the whole process would only take a couple of seconds. It was even better than getting rid of the curse because now they would have a choice.

He had completely forgotten the fact that Kol, who could be considered his enemy, now had a magical serum that could potentially conquer the entire werewolf race without even the need of the sire bond.

Enzo was not worried that there was something wrong with the serum. He was not going to just take it, but first give it to his town’s witch, to study it and make sure that there was nothing wrong with it.

Enzo replied, “Yes. Mister Kol is right. I think so, as well. I believe in long term friendsh.i.p.s and I think that I should organize a meeting with all the werewolf packs in the area and finally put an end to this meaningless dispute.”.

After a short silence, he continued, “As a token of friendship, I gift you the farm fields, located in the west of cold-creek town.”.

This was a temptation. Enzo gifted Kol the farm fields so that Kol would gift him something as a token of friendship, as well. Most likely the wooden box filled with the serum vials. Otherwise, Kol would not have brought it with him.

Kol happily complied and gifted Enzo the wooden box that he so d.e.s.i.r.ed.

Kol was not worried that Enzo’s witch would find something unusual. He had already made sure that no witch could find anything unusual with his serum.

————Scene END———–

Kol came back to Krypto-eden town after the meeting.

=PART-2

After a month or so, Enzo himself took the serum as his witch did not find anything unusual with it. After a few weeks, the sire bond started to take effect and Enzo subconsciously started to trust Kol and act according to his interests.

However, before that, he still had to conquer the witches and he knew that it would not be as easy.
