Nobody POV
Saint Malo, Louisiana 1842
Vicente is tracing something on his arm with charcoal by a campfire as a young Rayna wakes up

"What is that?" she asked

"My tattoo you keep asking about" he said and sets down the charcoal and gives Rayna a closer look "La Marca del Cazador" he said

""The Hunter's Mark."" she said

"I traced it down to the line" he said

"How come I can't see the real one?" she asked

"Because the mark is only visible to the Brotherhood of the Five" he said

"When do I get mine?" she asked

He kisses her on the forehead  "Hopefully never. If I do my job right, you will live in a world without bloodsuckers. Now, get up. I made stew" he said

"No. I will not eat. Not until you teach me how to fight" she said

He pulls out the Phoenix Sword with a smile and hands it to her

"This should be about the right size for you" he said

She stares at the sword, and he laughs "Don't just look at it. Prepare yourself" he said

Fifteen years later
Vicente is sparring with Rayna. Rayna is using the Phoenix Sword, while he is using a full-sized sword

"Battles are won in the mind. If you do not believe you can beat me, you never will" he said and defeats her  "This is no game, Rayna. You want to survive? Show me you want to survive. And never hesitate" he said

They go again and she emerges victorious. She has a proud look on her face when a horn blares in the distance

"Vampires" he said and quickly prepares to go to battle

"It's coming from Saint Malo" she said worriedly and turns and walks up to her father "Let me go with you" she said

"Not today, Nene. This is my burden" he said and stands to his feet with a bag of wooden weapons "One day it may be yours but it's not today" she said
