So could this prophecy be the end of Klaus Mikaelson?
Its not looking great.
With Tristans body drowning repeatedly, Aya had the witches build a sanctuary of sorts for Tristans mind.

And the two of them wont be alone here for long.
Freya, he needs your help.
Unbuttoning Stefans shirt she gets right to it!
Basically, hes been marked by a mystical vampire hunter whos impossible to kill because she regenerates.
And she uses her victims scars to track them.
Create a paste to cover the scar and block its signal.
And at this point, Klaus and Elijah agree: Aurora dies first.
Even Klaus and Elijah are working as a team right now, Hayley.
But its already too late.
My favorite response to Tristans speech?
Klaus:Even if in the end hes left with nothing but the scars of his failures.
Oh how quickly and poetically those two can knock a man down a few pegs.
Now stuck in this room, Klaus and Elijah are searching for what represents them.
Where you betray, I prove loyal.
Where you abandon, I remain.
And you know how much Elijah honors loyalty.
So whether or not it works, Aya is going to put a White Oak bullet in Klaus heart.
And you know who else would be dead?
Stefan Salvatore, a.k.a.
that guy Hayley sort of remembers from Mystic Falls.
In one of my favorite moments of the episode, Lucien is unimpressed with Stefans ability to help.
Freya has a plan to get her brothers out of the magical prison world/sanctuary/thing.
But she needs to channel something powerful.
But as Stefan sees it, that depends on the father.
As he admits, he probably wouldnt have survived his if it werent for his brother.
They hurt each other more than anyone, but theyre vicious when it comes to protecting each other.
Stefans response: And the ones they care about?
And speaking of Caroline, yes, shes the background on Stefans phone.
Youre their eternal burden, she says, trying desperately to get inside his head.
And from there, the mind games only escalate.
And of course, that strikes a nerve with Klaus, whos greatest fear is being alone.
But Elijahs not about to let that slide.
He fires right back at Aurora, mentioning Tristans tendency to abandon his sister.
You are a deranged and ridiculous child who cannot be left unsupervised, Elijah informs Aurora.
Ten centuries later, Klaus sees the light.
And now everyone seems to have struck a nerve.
And with a hand on her shoulder, she moves forward.
Stefan begins to remove the paste from his scar, which quickly draws Rayna to the location.
Freya is running out of time and she needs to know what represents her brothers.
Elijah thinks its the knights on the chessboard.
Klaus thinks its the kings.
They represent Aya and Aurora, the women theyve betrayed.
Hayley takes out another and Marcel helps.
But when Freya destroys the white queen, waking up Klaus, Davina stalls Klaus in midair.
Claiming that Klaus has had his time, she throws him back into the pool and finishes her spell.
As Elijah runs to Klaus afterward, Klaus tells him, I felt them leave.
My sire line is broken.
(Poll: Was this the coolest scene this shows ever done?
Yes or yes?)
As for her, he says, you cant hurt me more than you already have.
Aya is quick to defend herself.
She stood by Elijah!
But he also cant forgive what she just did.
Putting the gun up to Ayas heart, Elijah cant pull the trigger.
But Hayleys there to stake Aya from behind, on behalf of Jackson.
With the magical realm collapsing, Aurora says goodbye to her brother as he once again starts to drown.
Waking up in the real world, Aurora is greeted by Klaus, whos currently encasing her in bricks.
From there, Klaus heads out to say goodbye to his old friend Stefan Salvatore.
Yep, hes talking about Caroline.
Stefan promises, I love her.
I know that you did once too.
I promise I will only do right by her.
Based on Klaus and Stefans car conversation inThe Vampire Diaries, its Stefan letting her go.
(Again, what does that mean in this case?)
When Klaus nearly collapses moments later, Freya explains that he hemorrhaged an enormous amount mystical energy today.
(And is he naked?!
If so, well played, Davina.)
I spoke a lot about the brother parallels in myVampire Diariesrecap, so I wont say too much here.
