LONDON, MAY 2014

The skies were dark and miserable casting a cover of smoke coloured cloud over the rooftops of London. A chilled breeze fed its way through the alleyways and streets of the once great city, its hard to believe that once upon a time this used to be a thriving and beautiful place to live. Now since the mortal war- the first one included the same man, just not his deluded and completely evil-drawn son-, it has become a remote and ghost-like town with barely anyone to inhabit it, with just the odd person bustling through streets away from the rogue downworlder or insane and murderous mundane. The once beautiful town used to uphold the most beautiful buildings and parks that stretched for miles with rows upon rows of trees, with flowers blooming wildly throughout the year. One of the more magnificent buildings in the city was the London institute that held the occupants known as the Nephilim- otherwise known as shadowhunters. The building towered above all others and had beautiful spiralling structures and cobblestone walls, with big arched windows stained with coloured glass with various different symbols imprinted into each glass pane. Surrounding the building was a old-fashioned metal fence that stretched around the whole building, meeting either side of the gate that stood tall with a twisted and intricate systems of locks. Just like the gate, the door held the same properties, but the door had symbols carved into the wood around the handle, similar to the ones on the glass panes.
Practically like a fortress, no man, shadowhunter, downworlder or demon had ever breached the walls of the institute. It was one of the only institutes not to be attacked during the uprising- for anyone who didn't know the uprising was a battle between the shadowhunters and a rogue shadowhunter Valentine, along with his demon-blooded son Sebastian. Valentine believed he could make the world purer from having a new and pure race of shadowhunters drink from the mortal cup. Which caused conflict with the shadowhunters and the clave, thus starting a war.- After the second uprising, the world was no longer as it once was, the world changed for shadownhunters, downworlders and mundanes alike. Nobody was safe any more, whether that be in London or anywhere else in the world.
