Finn was in the clock tower trying to locate the child, but despite his strength, his knowledge on spells was lacking, his mother while she trusted him the most still kept her most powerful spells to herself.

He was growing frustrated at failing at his task when he knew he had more than enough power to accomplish anything. He couldn't understand what he was lacking, just like his brothers he thought one dimensional. He only thought power is what is needed, not realizing he needed to know how to use that power efficiently and properly.

He felt someone enter the tower and make their way up, he turned to the door to see who it was that is disturbing him, with everything set in motion, he doubted it was any of his brothers or their friends.

It was the girl Nevan was talking to just earlier, she appeared to Finn in more modern, darker clothing and wearing makeup. She has let her long dirty blonde hair flow freely and has her pendant around her neck.

The two berserker guards blocked the entrance to the room when she tried to enter, this caught her by surprise seeing these giant bone armored men.

Finn- "And you are?"

"Oh, do you not recognize me brother?" she asked with a grin, she lifted her hands and squeezed them breaking the skulls with her magic and turning them to dust as she proceeded into the room to stand before Finn who was still on guard wonder what she was playing at.

It wasn't hard for her to feel the concentration of magic in the masks that gave them power and realize destroying it would weaken them, though she was somewhat surprised to see them turn to dust.

Finn- "Impressive, but if you came to fight you'll find I'm not as easy to take down."

Standing before him she couldn't help but smile- "Finn, do you really not remember me anymore, it's me your sister."

Finn confused- "I don't...wait it couldn't be...(looking at her intently)...Freya?"

When she heard her name she couldn't hold it anymore and gave him a big hug- "Yes it's me, it's Freya."

Finn who was receiving the hug awkwardly was still very confused- "Is it really you? But how?"

Stopping the hug she looked at him happily as she started to explain what happened to her after being sold to Dahlia.

Dahlia first gained her enhanced powers by linking her magic to the magic possessed by her then five-year-old niece Freya. Once Freya reached adulthood, Dahlia then cast a spell that allows them both to gain pseudo immortality by leapfrogging through time; the women were put into a magically induced sleep for nearly a century, only to awaken for one single year of life and aging with all of the magic they accrued over their hundred year-long slumbers, before they would once again return to their sleep after the year had passed.

"I managed to escape and travel here where I found my family at a christmas party a 100 years ago, but I saw Niklaus stake our brother and I was short on time so I didn't say hi then and went back to sleep, I'm lucky after waking up again you all happened to still be here."

Finn frowning- "Yes Niklaus was always a monster, as he was then, he is now, but enough of that sister we have a problem, Niklaus managed to have a child and we need to find it before Dahlia comes."

Freya eyes widened in alarm- "How is that possible, I thought you guys couldn't have kids?"

Finn- "It's thanks to his hybrid status, can you help me locate the child?"

Freya very concerned- "Yes absolutely, I can't allow Dahlia to find us, to find me, I just escaped her, I can't go back!"

She went towards the table he had the maps placed of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. She closed her eyes and concentrated as she channeled her magic, the cloaking spell Hope was under was no match for her as she quickly found her location.

Finn grinned- "Good, good, I will go there and take care of this, you can stay here and familiarize yourself with the new era."

Freya grabbed his arm before he left- "Wait, here take this, it will protect you should anything unforeseen happen." she said placing the pendant around his head.

Finn- "Thank you sister, I will go take care of this problem and make sure Dahlia doesn't come."

Marcel was searching high and low for his friends, he made a call to Niklaus, telling him about recent events, receiving his usual ire for it.

He called Davina who managed to track them to the bayou, which couldn't be anything but bad, Finn was going to try and start a war with the werewolves and vampires this time around after having failed to expose them to the humans.

He zoomed over as fast as he could to stop that from happening.

Marcel showed up just in time as his people were getting ready to attack the werewolves, things were more complicated then he knew though as the werewolves were not the least bit nervous seeing a group of savage-looking vampires coming at them.

Marcel seeing Hayley among the werewolves yelled out- "Hayley!" as he ran over to warn them and prevent them from getting killed or killing them.

The fighting started as he reached Hayley who waited for him to ask- "Marcel what's this?"

Marcel quickly explained- "Finn put some sort of spell on them, please just knock them ou..." he paused in horror as he saw the werewolves start shredding his friends, after all their training of late and recent battle with the berserkers they were more than ready for a fight.

The werewolves were in a frenzy as they attacked the vampires, while the betas could just manage to go toe to toe with a regular vampire, with the training they now had an edge.

The worst though came from Keith and Shirley, the two alphas were present and still hungry for blood for their recently fallen brethren. A 6'8" brown werewolf monster and a 7'1" timber colored werewolf started ripping them apart, each swing of the claw sending body parts flying.

Marcel snapping out of it yelled- "No! Stop! Stop it, just knock them out, please!" he tried to zoom over to help his friends, but Hayley seeing this knew there was no stopping it and went behind him snapping his neck, doing her best to keep him alive so Niklaus didn't have a strong enough reason to move against them.
