The Prophecy

May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star:
the one Morning Star who never sets,
Christ your Son,
who, coming back from death's domain,
has shed his peaceful light on humanity,
and lives and reigns for ever and ever.

The Exsultet

When God created man, jealous Lucifer mounted a great rebellion in Heaven. His army of Angels was defeated and forever banished from Paradise, their wings clipped. These Angels, the Fallen, abandoned Lucifer choosing to live on Earth among the pleasures of humans. They took mortal wives and fathered abominations, children called Nephilim, with the power of Angels but the souls of men. Angry, the Creator flooded the Earth killing the Nephilim and driving the Fallen into hiding. He sent the Powers, fierce warrior Angels, to hunt down those who survived the flood.

But there was hope for the Fallen in the prophecy: the Nephilim would be born who will forgive the Fallen of their sins, redeem them, so that they could return to Paradise. The prophecy said that the child would be born when the sun is in Virgo. The footprint of the father would mark his birthplace and he would be called as a Messenger. So the Fallen watched and waited. Thousands of years have passed, thousands of Nephilim were born and killed at the age of eighteen, the age when all the Nephilim received their powers. The Fallen believed that the day will come and the Powers believed that it is their holy mission to eradicate the Fallen and their offspring.

But they day finally came and a child was born. He tracked the Fallen and redeemed them, returning them home, to Heaven. But the Powers continued to deny his existence. They found him over and over again, trying to kill him and every Fallen or every Angel who protected him. And each and every one of the Powers failed. The Redeemer was stronger than any other Nephilim, he found strength in his mission though all he wished for was a normal life. He met a girl he fall in love with. He had to leave her for her own protection though he didn't know that she was a Nephilim too.

But she also had a destiny, that wasn't predicted in any of the prophecies ever existed. She was aimed to become the mother of the first Nephilim born not from the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men", but from two Nephilim.

The Redeemer fought for their future, for the future of the Fallen until the reason of his existence was unleashed. He was told that the Fallen, the Light Bringer, will open him the truth of his origin, help him answer his questions. The Light Bringer told him what his destiny was, not only to redeem the Fallen, but to redeem him, his father. And though the Nephilim had the gift of tongues, understanding all languages, including that of the animals and the plants, the Redeemer understood that he was the son of the one who started all that too late. His was the son of Lucifer, the son of the Devil. So they fought and Lucifer was once again defeated, sent back to Hell to suffer his sins for eternity.

And the Creator saw that the Nephilim were not the abominations, they were the ones who could protect the humans. So the Powers bowed their heads respectfully before the Redeemer and he was granted freedom and safety for him and those like him as well as their posteriors. So the Nephilim lived and found home in a small land they called Idris, building a beautiful city of glass they called Alicante. New generations of Nephilim were born, they lost their gift of tongues, they didn't have their wings, they couldn't control time, and they didn't have the access to the holy fire in the battle. But they were still much stronger and faster than any other human. The Creator saw their importance and gave them Runes to be used on their bodies to see what humans couldn't see, to heal faster and to improve they abilities, He gave them Seraph Blades to fight with and Mortal Instruments to increase their numbers.

The years have passed and the defeated Lucifer started invading Earth with Demons from Hell, and Nephilim started calling themselves Shadowhunters for always looking into shadows to find and kill the demons. But another prophet called the Nephilim to warn them that three children would be born, two boys and a girl a year after, the siblings, but only two of them will share their parents and only two of them will share blood. They would be stronger and mightier than any other Nephilim born from Nephilim parents, they would be faster than the wind, they would be stronger than any living creature, they will have the ability to see the unseen. These children would become the makers of the new future, but the future is undetermined. They will have to choose which way to go, either to destroy the life on Earth or to protect it from the mighty hand of Lucifer.

Another couple of centuries have passed and a mighty Shadowhunter was born. Under the name of Valentine Morgenstern he created the Circle, a fascist society, central ideal of which was that humans were the planet's master race and that Shadowhunters should rule over Downworlders, the creatures with Demon blood in them, half-human, like warlocks, vampires and werewolves. After his father was killed by a werewolf, his extremist beliefs intensified to the point that he came to believe that Downworlders were demons in human form that should be exterminated altogether. He tried to destroy the Clave before they sign the Accords, peace negotiations between the Downworlders and the Clave. But he failed and disappeared.

But the children from the prophecy had already been born and no one even remembered that they were predicted to exist. They were raised in different ways, in different continents. One of them lost everything and believed in lies his whole life, another one had everything the Redeemed wished for, a life without any knowledge of Nephilim existence, the third one was hidden from the eyes of the Earth by his father, aimed to fulfill the great destiny of destroying the world. They all had one father, one of them knew all along about him, another one had no idea that he was lied to since the day he was born, and the third one believed that he died before she was even born. They were different from each other, they had no knowledge of the others, and only two things that made them connected were the prophecy and the lies they lived in.


A/N: So guys, what do you think? The second chapter is on its way. I really need you opinions, because if you think it's not worth it, if you don't like it, I won't continue. So I'm looking forward to your review, because they meen so much to me.
