Hey everyone. It's Chazahyah, but most of you call me Terror, so Terror, back again with a little prequel. I have received a few PMs and comments about how people want a story of how Terror and Lacie came to be and how they got connected with Tessa and Magnus and Jem (wink, wink), so I decided to do it. I actually thought that people wouldn't care about those characters and I am surprised that people Want to hear about them. So yeah this is a prequel on them, and just know, there's more shadowhunters and downworlders in their past than you think. Now I'm serious, give me suggestions, tell me what you like, tell me what to work on, but overall enjoy!
"Lacie stop staring at me." Terror said, waving off the stares of everyone in Magnus's front room, who were sitting in front of him, curved like he was an old storyteller, it included: Lacie, who was sitting cross legged next to him (though he was on the floor and she was in a chair),Isabelle, who was wrapped tightly in Simon's arms, Clary who's was on Jace's lap, Maia, who was also in Jordan's lap and Sebastian who was on his other side, distanced from everyone else.
"I can see why," said Jace, who planted a kiss on Clary's cheek, "you got your hair twisted!"
He groaned at them. "They are just twisties, goodness, you earthly creatures get on my nerves. Now the real reason we are here is to-" he was interrupted by Maia and Jordan telling each other "I love you" and kissing like there was no one else in the room. Terror cleared his throat and they grinned sheepishly and nodded for him to continue. "As I was saying we are here because I have decided to reveal our origins, our stories, and how we connect with you. Now it is going to be a long story and I will tell it in third person so you can listen and not try to mess with my glasses Lacie." Lacie, whose hand was in the process of trying to discreetly take off his glasses, grinned, fixed them back and dropped her hand.
"I am looking forward to this," Magnus grinned, "I appear quite a bit and so do all of your-"
"Magnus, let's not give away any secrets," Simon glared, "I wanna know what happens and be surprised."
"Why can't you tell an exciting story, like the tale of the Herondales, or that time when Clary forgot to bring a hand towel in the shower to wash off and she needed my heavenly hands to-" Jace started.
"JACE! SHUT UP!" Clary said, while everyone snickered except Terror and Sebastian, though Sebastian was looking at Jace with brotherly anger and looked at him pointedly.
"I'm sure you all would love to hear that story, but I, personally, would not be comfortable hearing the details of the defilement of my sister," he paused, when everyone got quiet and nodded towards Terror, "Continue."
Terror grinned. "Thank you. Now let's get started shall we?"
He began to speak.
He had no name and he felt horrible. Imagine that. Having no name and feeling horrible. His mother and her brother were in some meeting about what to do with Sodom and Gomorrah and the sinners in there. He would have just killed them all one by one and drained their blood and watching their life fade out of their eyes and- wait he shouldn't even be having these thoughts, but he had been having strange urges and demonic rages he couldn't control, which he had asked his mother about, but she said it should pass.
Think fast! He heard a voice in his mind say and he did a backflip and slammed his foot into the back of his attacker, who swung a large sword at him, which he dodged with ease.
The voice in his head was grudging. You should be lucky. Not many can match an angel. Though, being your best friend, I decided to go easy on you.
He smirked at that. "Raziel, we may be best friends, but I assure you, you could not convince anyone that you let me win. I am much to strong."
You will fall one day and I shall proudly be holding this sword over your bloody body.
"Well do not stab to deep, that blade makes me wish I was mortal and could die. You ought to name that thing."
Raziel mused for a second. The Mortal Sword? I must say that has a nice ring to it.
He rolled his eyes at his angel friend. "Honestly Razi, could you get more corny?"
What should I name it then oh wise one?
He grinned crookedly. "As corny as you are I never said it didn't have a ring to it. Now we have much more pressing matters to attend to."
Like what? Surely you are not going to bring up-
"I think Lilith wants to lie with me."
Raziel grinned. Believe me, I doubt any female, demon or angel, wants to lie with you.
He put his hand to his heart in mock hurt. "Shall this attack on me ever end? You are supposed to be helping me and boosting my morale, not bringing me down. You sure you are not a demon?"
Oh do not be so dramatic. Now the real reason I came by-
"So it was not for the pleasure of my company? I should have known."
Raziel shook his head exasperated. We can hunt some unlucky demons later tomorrow. Today, the creator, and his sister, your mother have a task for you.
"What is it?" He said, giving his full attention.
Raziel waved his hand and a city appeared before them. We have gotten reports of an angel, in the city, lying with the demon female and going up into her, making her conceive strange creatures. They have all our beauty, but the wickedness of demons. Now if it was in a remote area, the Father would pay no attention to it, but the city is heavily populated and the humans are drawn to the courts of these creatures, but rather than protect, as we do, they drive them to insanity and imprison them. We need you to take care of them, have them move or swear off human prey.
"Will do," He said, "any chance there will be an altercation?"
That is guaranteed. We have already had you blade, what did you call it again?
"A kitana. It sounded mysterious."
Bah. The Mortal Sword has a much better ring to it. But your blade is at the gates, as are your daggers.
"Sounds good. I shall make my way there now." He started to walk out, but Raziel held his hand up, signaling him to wait.
Your mother told me to pass this message to you, though I know not what it means. She said, "Control yourself and don't let it take over." Do you know what she meant?
He did, but even though they were best friends, Raziel didn't need to know that. "I do. But now is not the time for explanations, I'll tell you another day. Now I will be on my way."
Instead of shaking hands, the two friends grasped forearms and parted ways. Raziel went towards the palace of Heaven, and he went towards the gates and passage to Heaven. The gates were not technically gates at all, but since Heaven was built like a beyond colossal castle with the palace in the back, the gates of Heaven was a drawbridge that lowered down and led you to a small stone building, which was where all the transportations usually occurred.
"Michael!" He shouted at the wood door that filled up the space in front of him, "lower the gates."
The wood platform started lowering down and it was now a path into the building. He walked across slowly, contemplating his life so far. No one knew how he had gotten there to heaven. Not him, not Raziel, not any angel who lived here, no one, but everyone suspected his mother had something to do with it, though she made sure he knew he wasn't born the...human way. He approached the door to the building and it swung open to reveal a bare building. Literally it was all gray stone everywhere like a box, the only thing different about it was that a long sword was stabbed into the ground, the hilt shining and inviting. He walked up and placed both hands on the hilt and said, "Send me to Eden, to the City of Seelie" in a deep voice. The sword glowed black and the glow encompassed him, though he felt nothing. When the glow subsided, he was glowing red and suddenly it went all black around him and his body and essence was sent down to Earth...
Pretty nice intro huh? Here's a little spoiler for the next chapter, the first downworlder shows up and you all know this character. Now anyways, as I said, give me suggestions, review, and give feedback. But if you haven't read my other story, titled Jace and Simon's Day Out, then it'll be hard to understand, so read that first then come back here. Also I have a proposition, I want to start a book like original book with somebody, and a fanfiction. Idk if anyone wants to write an original book, but I really want to write a fanfic with someone, so if you want to then tell me and let me know. But anyways have fun reading this PM me and stuff and Ill see you all later. Byesies!
