Once upon a time, there was a majestic king, who lived with his noble brother in a colorful kingdom where music and art were celebrated. The king did not foresee having a child, but he lived in an enchanted land where all things were possible. In time, he was blessed with a beautiful baby daughter for whom he wished only peace and happiness. Still, the king had demons who pursued him. There was a ruthless beast who wanted to take the kingdom for her own. Armed with a pack of untamed creatures, she drove the other magical beings from the land, and there was a wicked sorceress with enchanted stones that weakened the king on every full moon. Seeing the shadow his enemies cast upon his home, the king was driven to send his beloved princess away, convincing all who remained that she was forever lost. The king, in his sorrow, turned away from the world. The castle closed its doors, and the kingdom fell. Some say that the only light that shines in the castle illuminates the shadow of the once mighty king in the room meant for his child, but as the ruthless beasts took rule over the falling king's realm, little did they know that he and his brother would not rest until their enemies were vanquished For they believed that one day they would heal their kingdom and bring their princess home so that she might live happily ever after.

I'm not looking for tough guys, Josh. I'm looking for warriors.
What's the difference?
[entering] A warrior fights for what they believe in. A warrior fights for his family.
I am Mikael, the vampire who hunts vampires!
So we risk our lives while you hide?
I am the top dog. Your job is to ensure the battle doesn't come to me.
You chase my redemption like a man rolling a stone up an endless mountain.
Well, no mountain is endless, brother. Some are just steeper than others.
Gia has proven herself. She knows what she's getting into. So she's gonna be the first one that I turn. Everybody else, first, I need to be sure that you can handle moving up a notch on the food chain, the emotional ups and downs, solitude, and bloodlust. Imagine hearing the sound of a heart beating, beating, beating and wanting more than anything to feed. That's what it's like to be a vampire. It's not for everybody. Some folks, well, let's just say, it brings out the worst in them.
New Orleans is a vicious place, and your enemies are everywhere Behind your back, before your eyes. You will need to remain vigilant against those who would seek to destroy you, some of whom you may never see coming.
[to a group of werewolves] You filthy dogs.
[to Elijah] Hello son. We have some unfinished business.
What could possibly be more important than the return of our mother?
Our father. I saw him, standing there in the flesh as you do now. He was enslaved with some spell cast by Davina. He holds the stake. If she chooses to release him...
Well, then there's only one question we need to ask, isn't there? Which of our parents do we kill first?
[to Klaus and Elijah] Do tell me, what'd I miss? Regale me with your contributions to society. Medicine, philosophy, art? Or have you two merely cut a path of destruction across time?
Change, dear brothers, is inevitable.
You ruined me. You left me to suffer at the hands of a father who valued only strength.
I kept you from becoming a beast for as long as I possibly could.
Oh, you lied to me to hide your own transgressions because of your own fear! My whole life, I sought the approval I was denied by the man I thought was my father. You turned me into the weakling he hated! Look at me! You rant, and you rage about the monster I've become, but you, mother, you are the author of everything I am.
I have come to heal our family, Elijah.
Well, that's a grim sentiment coming from you.
They're defiant by nature, and they've grown very strong. How do you expect to show them the error of their ways?
I will systematically destroy everything they hold dear. I've already taken the wolves from Niklaus and made them my own. It is time now to focus on the prodigal son Marcel and his small nest of vampires across the river. Now that we have cleansed the quarter of his kind, perhaps it's time to turn our attention to the outskirts of our beautiful home. We will take their pride, their joy, their love. We will lay it all to ruin, and when they are at their lowest point, in their deepest despair, they will have no choice but to beg me to release them from their pain, and because I love them, I will.
