Prologue
The sky burst with a flash of light, on the shores of the ocean as the waves tumbled furiously with the dark wind blowing from the west. The light reverberated with a glow of a thousand suns - sparks of fire seemed to swirl upwards and split the clouds, enlightening the sky above the cliffs as if a hundred angels were crashing towards the earth. The water from the west cast a ghostly glow, as a full moon dared to peek through the ominous darkness of the westward sky - a sky filled with storm clouds seeming to aim their destruction towards the blinding heavenly light.
As the column of light grew stronger and brighter, sending flying sparks of golden dust towards the sea, onlookers began to run from the light into the comfort of the dark grassy plains that stretched for miles beyond the rocky cliffs of the beach. The beach was deserted, save for the three dark figures looking towards the column of light. The waves crashed against the rocks, sending water flying into the air and foaming against the rocks jutting from shore. The figures continued to stand silently and motionlessly, casting long dark shadows on the beach.
As suddenly as the light had appeared, it dissolved. The heavenly light began to creep away from the breaking clouds as if the hundred angels decided to fly back to the heavens, and once again casting an eerie darkness upon the moonlit sky. Light began to snake itself towards a point on the beach. The column of light fell upon itself, collapsing into a small but bright point that emanated a glow like that of a newborn star. The sky seemed still and the world seemed silent as the column light disappeared completely, leaving only a small fragment glowing like a dot on the beach. A million white feathers sprouted from the light, blowing with the wind as they drifted in all directions. A gust of wind pushed the waves back to the ocean as the wings of an angel flapped strongly and surely, facing the darkness that was descending from the west. Howls, snarls, ripping growls and noises sounded across the sea, as the storm clouds parted to reveal a million demons suspended in motion under the pale moonlight over the ocean. The darkness they emitted started to creep its way towards the land, like a black smoke creeping its way through the halls of a house. The light stood motionless, as its dove-white wings flapped at a constant rhythm.
The world stood still, preparing for the battle that would commence as soon as the full moon reached its peak. Against the sound of the waves on the beach, one small voice called out to the light:
"Clary!..."
