"Don't go any father!" a mother yelled to her son. As he got closer to the tree line that kept him separate from the forest. As he looked in all he could see was nothing but fog rolling in, the sky grew darker and the wind started to pick up. "come on! It's no dangerous! We are leaving!" the mother yelled as she started to put a blanket into a basket. The son was about to go back to her more as he saw something moving trough the tree line. He gasped, not moving hoping to catch another look. "Let's go!" "Coming Mother!" the boy turned around and ran to she mother. From behind a bush two green eyes watched as they left the boy looking back to see what he had saw. As the green eyes watched as they left something distracted them as their ears picked up more movement in the trees. As they stood up to look around "boo!" they gasped. There stood a girl with brown hair looking laughing. "That wasn't funny Maureen!" "Your right it wasn't, it was hilarious! Plus you deserved it you know where not suppose to be this close to the edge of the forest Clary." "Yah well I couldn't help myself, Maureen have you ever thought what it would be like to see a real village with real people living their mundane lives?" Clary said as she stood behind her friend with her hands on her shoulders. "Um.. no I haven't because I don't feel like dying!" Clary rolled her eyes "Then why are you even here Maureen?" Her eyes shot opened wide and she gasped. "We have a meeting with the Guardians." They both looked at each other and started running, as they approached a rock wall with vines hanging down looking like there was just rock behind it Maureen walked through the vines with Clary following right behind her.
They walked through the darkness as there was a light coming through the end, it opened up to a village living inside a a giant rock, green glowing rocks covered the top of the cave giving off enough light, people of all kinds walking about minding there own business warlocks casting spells, wolves teaching their cubs, vampires hanging out in their usual blood joint, anyone who is not a mundane was expected here, flaws in all. For Clary her role was a little different then the others of her kind, she wasn't suppose to be talking with the "downwolders" is what her people called them. She was a shadowhunter which meant that she was ranked the highest out of all the downwolders. They all had to respect her because her kind kept them in balance because she was half angel. She was never suppose to be mixing with the downwolders, that's why the clave could never find out that hse and Maureen where friends. Maureen was a seelie which meant that she was half angel half demon, and they where treated as if they where ranked second under the hunters. Maureen worked for the council and really she worked for Clary's family. Ever since they where younger Clar's mother treated Maureen like on of them. She wasn't trwated any differently unless in presence of the clave. As they walked up the steps to the castle where they had to meet with the guardians a familiar face was waiting for them outside. "your late." the women said looking at Clary seeing if she was acceptable to be presented in front of the guardians. "Sorry." Clary said looking at Maureen. "Let me guess, you where on your way but you saw a boy running and playing close to the tree line and you just had to watch as he came closer." "How did you know?!" she turned in shock "We have eyes and ears everywhere Clary just be happy that it was Luke who saw you and not someone else." Clary was a little angered that Luke had ratted her out like that especially to her mother. The doors opened as Clary and her mother walked in.
It was silent as they walked into a room where there was chairs lined up around the room Clary turned around to see her mother was gone. Clary was standing in the middle of the room with all eyes beating on her watching her every move she took a step into the center of a circle. Facing what she thought was the front a white light appeared as it grew bigger Clary was going blind all she could see what was a shape of someone sitting in a big chair. The white light became weaker as Clary was able t see again. There was a women sitting in the chair her skin glowed with beauty, she had hair as white as snow, she was dressed in white cloth with gold armor covering most of her body. she held a staf with two blue gems on each side. her head was covered with a hood of white with a gold rim, enough though that she could see her blue eyes. "Come forward my dear." she said in a soothing voice. Clary step forward getting closer. "I am the Guardian Athena, and who are you?" "um Clary Fairchild." she said bowing every so slightly to her. "Do you know why you are her Clary." as Athena looked at her. Clary got a little eager, "if this is about this morning and going to the forest edge, and almost being seen by the mundane boy? Because if it is then you should know I was only trying to keep him from entering." she babbled on, "Clary what happened this morning is not why I summoned you here, all though you did break one of the most important rules about going to close to the mundane world, i asked you here for a more important reason. I have lost communication with several of our other cities." Clar looked a little confused. "Other cities? I thought Idris was the only one?" Athena laughed a little "No my dear there are many more." Athena stood up as the whole room rose with her, "I wish to speak with Clary alone, this clave meeting is over, you are free to leave." Athena's eyes where stuck on Clary as everyone left the room. As the doors shut behind the last person, "Come," Athena said motioning Clary to follow her. That's when Clary saw what was truly white behind her. She had giant white wings that followed her where ever she went. As they waled down a hallway behind the doors "The real reason why I asked you to come is because I need you to travel to the other cities and see if they are okay. The clave believes that it is a temporary default in the system. But I believe that there is something even bigger at play here." they stopped in front of a water fall "With all due respect," Clary started "I wasn't even aware that they where other cities like Idris I was always told we where the only one." "That is what we as guardians wanted all of you to think."
