Hey everyone! This is a new fanfic that extends the ending of City of Heavenly Fire. WARNING: If you haven't read CoHF yet, this contains spoilers.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing! All rights go to Cassandra Clare and their respective places.
I hope you enjoy!
Magnus had his hands on either side of Simon's face to keep him steady while Magnus said the last few stanza's of the spell. Simon wished he could understand, but kept still hoping the spell would bring him more memories.
"...Delfrabra," Magnus finished off. Simon watched as the warlock took a deep sigh and took his hands off his head.
Magnus stepped back and looked at Simon. At first, Simon didn't feel different and was disappointed that the spell hadn't worked. Then, a few visions, well memories for Simon, began resurfacing. Simon saw memories of pentagrams, a bow and arrow launching into a chandelier, him and Clary in Eric's garage, and a few other memories of he and Isabelle.
Simon looked up at Magnus and smiled. "Thanks for that."
Magnus nodded and asked, "Anything?"
Simon nodded. "Good memories mostly. I have dreams of my memories now, though. I remember a lot now. I almost even feel complete," Simon said with a smile. "I just can't believe I forgot everyone."
Magnus looked at him pitifully. "It's not your fault you know. You saved us all. I'm just glad I could return the favor."
Simon nodded. "What time do I have to be at the Institute again?"
Magnus checked his watch. "You have about thirty minutes, but I was just going to Portal us there. Subways really aren't my thing."
Simon smiled. He was beginning to really like Magnus's company. To be honest, past all the sparkles and fancy outfits, Magnus was actually a really cool friend to have.
"Am I supposed to dress up for this or something?" He asked nervously.
Magnus snorted. "Ascending isn't prom or anything, kid." Since Simon wasn't a Daylighter now, 'kid' was what Magnus called him now.
"I know," Simon said, "but still. What do I have to wear?"
Magnus looked at Simon thoughtfully for a moment. He was wearing old jeans, a blue faded t-shirt and a red sweatshirt over that. Magnus grimaced. Those colors shouldn't ever be worn together. Magnus snapped his fingers and instantly Simon's clothes were changed. He now wore a black t-shirt and black jeans.
Simon looked down at himself. "Hmm," he said. "Not bad."
Magnus snorted. "Ready, kid?"
Simon nodded and watched as blue sparks drifted from Magnus's hands to the wall where a blue circle began forming. Colors of purple, green, blue, and aqua began shifting together until the Portal was completed.
"After you," Magnus said motioning towards the Portal. Simon made a face. He didn't particularly like Portal-travel, but he pushed the though aside.
He was going to Ascend today, and that was all that mattered.
With a sigh, Simon stepped through the Portal.
The next couple chapters will be just a conclusion to City of Heavenly Fire; reunions, Simon's Ascension, and more :)
