Prologue

Idris. may 5, 2015

It was the parabatai ceremony for Lucien Redoran and MacKenzie Altmer. Lucien was a young man at the age of fifteen. Black haired and lean he was exceedingly fast of the two he disliked being outside the most. "Why not just train inside?" Is what he always said. He prefered to be called Lucas. Lucien is too hard for most people to say was his excuse. MacKenzie was 14 and was blonde with some sizable muscles for his age. He took extra care of his pectorals. First thing the women look at he says, Lucien just calls them his man boobs.

After putting on the ceremonial white gear they started to head to the council room where they were going to perform the ceremony of parabatai. As they were walking to the council room, Lucas looked bothered, so Mackenzie asked "Dude, you good? You look like you need to let go of something." Lucas then glanced at MacKenzie " Yeah Mac." (most people called MacKenzie, Mac) " It's just that I feel guilty that I didn't know my parents, it's like they were strangers to me. I live with my uncle. My mom was a mundane and my dad was stripped of his Marks, you know that it's illegal for Nephilim to love and marry a Mundane. Also the Clave approved that I can only visit them at their house in California on holidays. Then I received a letter from the Inquisitor that they both died in the during the Dark war because my dad was part of the Circle with Valentine Morgenstern and Sebastian wanted to finish my dad off before he turned some of the ShadowHunters into Dark ShadowHunters. I don't know what I should feel, if I should be furious or crying in my bed like a baby wailing for his mom."

"Ok, you know I never met your parents or knew them at all but I do know this," Mac cleared his throat "that you should honor them, that they died to protect you from Sebastian's army."

"Your probably right and I shouldn't really worry right now because we are becoming Parabatai," Lucas said looking more cheerful.

Soon they arrived at the council room where the ceremony was being held. The council room was a huge cathedral looking room with a ceiling that seemed to reach to the heavens it was so high up. Then as they entered a voice said "The Ceremony of the Parabatai has commenced"

The ceremony of Parabatai is where there are three circles that are on fire, one in the middle and two beside it, where both Nephilim are standing in the circle. Then they step through the fire and meet in the middle to say the oath. "Entreat me not to leave thee, or return from following after thee, for whither thou goest I shall go and whither thou lodgest I shall lodge. Thy people shall be my people, thy God my God. Whither thou diest, I shall die, and there I will be buried. The angel do so to me, and more also. If aught but death part thee and me." After saying the oath the two Nephilim will draw on each other, the parabatai rune. After Mac and Lucas executed this ceremony Lucas looked up to the piers, and saw two other Nephilim as witnesses, "huh, I wonder if they might become Parabatai one day" Lucas said.

After that they went back to there institute in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The institute looked like a broken down, old church to the ordinary mundane eye but since they were Nephilim it looks like a normal old church from the middle ages. Then they entered through huge doors that only Nephilim blood can open. Thankfully they didn't have to cut themselves to open it everytime they wished to enter. "Ahh I am so glad to be out of there" Mac said. The Silent Brothers give me the creeps" Indeed the Silent Brothers with their sewn shut eyes and mouths and their voluminous parchment robes where enough to give some full grown men the creeps.

As they headed into the kitchen Lucas' little sister, Serenity looked at them with newfound awe. Serenity was 12 years old and a brunette with fair skin. "Wowowowow you guys are Finally Parabatai. That is soooooooo coooool! I wanna have a Parabatai when I grow up!" "Ugh serenity don't be so annoying" Lucas said. "Fiiiiine" she said and happily skipped away. "By the Angel she's totally infernal, I wouldn't be surprised if she was half demon!" Lucas said. Mac chuckled and said "I wouldn't be surprised if she was more than half"

A couple hours later Lucas' uncle, Varen Redoran came into Lucas' bedroom with two boxes. Lucas' bedroom was a comfy and cozy space, furnished with a couch, table, bed and nightstand. It was roughly 10 x 8 meters with 4 meter tall ceiling. Mac's observant eye saw the air holes first. "What are those?" He asked. Varen replied "Falcons. They are my gift to both of you. These falcons are exceedingly intelligent and can be trained to do almost anything. Oh yes and they are sisters, kind of like the birdlike female versions of you now that you are Parabatai. Have fun" Varen walked out of the room after setting down the boxes on the desk in the bedroom. "Dibs on calling mine Clary" they both said in unison. "Shoot!" Mac yelled. "Why don't we just not use any celebrity names ok? Said Lucas. "Fine" Mac replied. "Well… We might as well start training them." Lucas said
