Chapter One

The air was filled with the pungently sweet aroma of the roses surrounding the edge of Brocelind forest. Light winds swept the rich odour of leaves through the plain; thus creating a delicate perfume of spring.

From the dirt path on which he was walking, observing, as he did when encountering something new, Magnus Bane could just catch a glimpse of the lightly scented and lightly coloured fuchsia petals of the cherry blossom trees, that appeared every so often and whose delicacy was so alluring that he could not help but take notice. Light crept through the diminutive spaces in the branches, producing a kind of beauty, making him think of the incandescent skies that seek to convey a sense of effulgence and also reminded him of his radiant self. Citrus coloured leaves crunched at a touch; the ripe, sticky-sweet, aromatic smells lingered in the fragrant air, abiding, anticipating, astounding the senses: which seemed to make the stillness more onerous and he just knew that this was going to be the most marvellous of days.

It was his first day at the reopened and newly renamed academy in Idris. The Shadowhunter and Downwordler academy. It was decided at the last Accords that young and new downworlders would be sent to the academy to train alongside the underage shadowhunters. Whilst the academy had been opened for several months and it was the middle of the term, Magnus couldn't help but wonder what had possessed him to leave his perfectly extravagant life in Brooklyn to go to, as it was, school.

"Good Morning, Maggie isn't it the most wonderful of days," bellowed a familiar voice, bringing him the realisation of why he had decided to leave New York. His two best friends had begged him to join them in Idris, as the fabulous trio, as Magnus liked to refer to them as, needed to be together to experience such things as school. He had agreed after endless days of being sent countless fire-messages from Idris by the two, as he was 'apparently' missing out on an experience that would blow his mind. He still didn't get the appeal but they were his friends and they needed him and all his fabulousness.

"Good Morning, Ragnor and my darling Catarina, how wonderful it is to see you again," he said flinging himself and his long limbs at the two, to gather them up in a group hug.

"Lovely to see you too, Magnus," Catarina said, smiling and flashing her pearly white teeth, which stood out against her deep blue skin.

They had all known each other for as long as he could remember, the best of friends, doing everything together, expect from the fact that they had both left him behind to go to the academy and he had longed to see them again as it had been several months since he had said goodbye and waved them off as they portaled to Idris.

"Shall we be off, we don't want you to be late for your first day at the academy now do we," Ragnor yelled after strolling off down the path towards the entrance to the academy, which was about ten minutes away from their current position.

"Of course I don't but now that I think about it being fashionably late never hurt anyone and come on just look at me, I scream fashionable rebel," Magnus retorted. It wasn't like he was wrong, Magnus had so carefully picked out his outfit the night before. A purple velvet jacket over a black satin shirt, black ripped jeans and purple Doc Martins, accompanied by an array of silver bangles and bracelets, rings, a stretcher and ear cuffs. Topped off with his violet nails and purple tipped, black spiky hair, eyeliner, dark purple lip gloss and of course he was also covered in glitter but not as much as he would put on it he were leaving the house to attend a party. He looked stunning and he knew it.

"You never change," Catarina laughed, jogging to catch up to Ragnor.

"No but you love me anyway" and set of after his friends to his first day at the academy.
