Introduction to

The Mortal Instruments Fanfiction

Hana's friend is immortal. Yes, you just read that sentence. Samrah Ashe has been living for 672 years, and she still looks 17 years old.

Let me tell you about the Shadow world. It includes divergent, very peculiar species. You might even recognize some as myths or from stories.

Shadowhunters are skilled fighters that eliminate and balance the world from demons. They are decorated with marks that give them special abilities such as silence, speed, and agility. They live and die like normal Mundanes (mortals), and love and hate like them, too.

Vampires are, well, vampires. They are part of a group called Downworlders, which is basically the species other than Mundanes and Shadowhunters. Vampires are immortal, but of course, they can die (but almost impossibly.) Mundanes or Shadowhunters can Turn into a vampire by going through a few stages. They get bitten by a vampire, have vampire blood in their system, and die. Once they die, they must be buried and watched. That is until the being crawls out of the grave. As they climb out, they must be fed human blood in order to complete the process. Night Children (vampires) are knowledgeable, fast, and very strong.

A tip to anyone involved with the Shadow World: Don't mess with them!

Werewolves are creatures that look like ordinary Mundanes. That is, until they change into their ginormous wolf form. They are also very fast and strong, and most of them are in packs. In order for one to be a pack leader, the current one must be killed by that specific werewolf. The steps are complicated. Shadowhunters or Mundanes can be Turned by being bitten by one (which works half the time), or borne from two werewolf parents.

Warlocks are powerful beings that can be sly and tricky. They are made from a demon and a Mundane from procreation. They have the ability to cast spells, heal, harm, or make pentagrams (will be explained later.) They are immortal as well and are indicated from other species from their mark. It could possibly be an abnormal color of hair or eyes, or even webbed feet or scaly skin.

Faeries can be the most pesky and candor Downworlders. Most are mean and tricky, but only a handful of them can be useful to mankind. They usually have floral ornaments braided in their colorful hair. They can bear children, and can also be borne from an Angel and a demon. They possess the beauty of an Angel, but also the personality of a demon. Faeries can come in all shapes and sizes. Here's a little secret: Ariel is actually a faerie.

Now that you have that information, I'll get to the worst race. The demons. Demons are vigorous inter-dimensional monsters that kill, frighten, and kill. So far, they've butchered many Shadowhunters and even some Downworlders. They don't normally go for Mundanes, but that doesn't mean they won't. They are the reason Shadowhunters exist.
