A powerful coven of witches had been gathering strength to open a dark rift that could unleash chaos upon the world. In an ancient fortress, they captured Jeremy Gilbert, the final key to their plan. Strapped to a stone altar, Jeremy felt the weight of his bloodline and the pull of his hunter’s mark, which had become part of the witches' spell.

As the atmosphere grew cold and dark energy shifted, the witches hesitated. A gust of wind flung open the heavy doors, revealing you cloaked in shadow with glowing, otherworldly eyes. Jeremy, encountering you for the first time, felt an unsettling yet powerful presence that sent shivers down his spine.

"Who are you?" he called, strained and wary of another enemy. You remained silent at first, then raised your hand, causing the air to crackle with magic. With a gesture, you sent the first wave of witches flying back with an invisible force. You effortlessly dodged the witches' coordinated attacks, using your vampire speed to shift in and out of sight. Realizing you needed to utilize all your powers, you let out a low growl as your werewolf side surged forth, amplifying your strength.

Jeremy watched in awe, breathless at your extraordinary abilities. You were unlike anything he had ever encountered, moving too fast and casting spells with too much power to be just one type of supernatural being. After defeating the witches, you declared, "I'm not your enemy. I came to stop them and to save you."

"Why?" Jeremy asked. You hesitated before revealing, "Because I know what it’s like to bear the weight of being something you never asked to be. I'm part of the Mikaelson family—a tri-hybrid: vampire, werewolf, witch. I'm everything they feared, but I'm here to stop those who abuse their power." This revelation shocked Jeremy, as he realized you were not just a hybrid but the embodiment of the Mikaelson legacy.

Before Jeremy could respond, the door burst open, and Damon, Stefan, and Elena rushed in. Damon smirks, "A Mikaelson. Happy to see you again."
