Clary was confused about what Athena had just said. "What do you mean what you wanted us to think?" Athena sighed, she rose her staff to the sky, with a wave from side to side the sky dome started to open letting the suns rays fall in a beam of straight light fell right onto the water. Clary bent over to look into the water.
"100 years ago mundanes and angels lives together in peace. Everyone was happy, on day an angel fell in love with a mundane, as they grew together their love grew as well before anyone eyes they was a baby born half mundane, and half angel. Both sides rejoiced. However there was a darkness that lingered. One night a demon was sent to the town, and well everyone slept it watch as another child the same age as the half human half angel baby was. The demon bit the child causing it to awake warning the parents and summoning the angels to it's presence. The villagers and three angels looked upon the demon as it vanished into thin air. As days passed the hunt to the demon grew weaker losing hope that they would ever find it. Time passed and the two children grew older. As they where not like any other ordinary children the angels decided to train them as they would become the new protectors. As their training grew the both showed great potential, yet when it came to combat the child bit by the demon showed a great more aggression. The angels could sense the darkness clouding his soul. As the time came for both children to present themselves as one becoming the head of the village as it was time for the angels to leave, they chose the child born of the angel. The child bitten by the demon was furious. He stormed out of the town to the deepest part of the woods as he felt something watching him. A demon appeared and offered the child a new life, he accepted. The demon showed the young boy how to effect the mundanes into becoming like him. That night the child traveled back into town affecting six children all awakening with different abilities. The town went into shock as they weren't sure what was happening. The boy called upon the angels for help. As they came they found there was no cure for them. They where believed to be able to affect the others so they where sent off banished from their own homes. Just as the demon child wanted. He rallied them making them turn against the angels. He started creating an army of his half demon brothers and sisters. Until one day he diceide to make the angels pay for what they had done. The angel child heard of what was coming as he did the same created a cup that allowed mundanes to become half angel. The angels blessed the cup and gave the first angel child a sword. As the angels gave each half angel a different marking that would help them for what they where about to face. The time came when the two children had their battle. It came down to the children facing each other, the battle was long and hard, but in the end the angels won. Defeated the half demons agreed to live under the angels rule forever as if they did not they would die. Everything was almost the same. Years passed and the mundanes became so scared of what they had seen been created as their who they appointed king forced battle onto all of them. In the end the angels each took a section of each new people and left for different points in the world making sure that the rest of our existence was kept safe. Each angel became a guardian looking after each city, making sure that no one stepped out of forest of everyone's safety. The guardians removed all memories of the other cities and angels making people believe that they where the only ones."
Clary looked up at Athena, "you, you where there when all of this happened? weren't you?" Athena sighed "yes, I was, now you see why it is so important that only you know about what I have asked you to do." Clary looked down at the floor "you need someone who is brave and fearless. That's not me, I'm the one always late for everything and getting into trouble." "That is why I picked you Clary Fairchild." Clary looked up at her in awe, "When I first heard about you. you struck me as someone who isn't afraid of anything if you set your mind to it. As well you where the only one who passed my test." Clary looked at her confused, "that boy you saw today beyond the tree line was an illusion that i had created to test young shadowhunters like you to see how far you would go. I need someone who was unafraid of the mundane world, yet curious of it too, someone who follows the rules yet still breaks them. Someone who is fast on their feet and is able to hold their own, and that person is you. Clary." Clary looked up at her and took one big breathe, "Luke was there watching me to see if a passed." Athena nodded, "Clary I can't force you to accept the task, the risks are very dangerous," Clary interrupted "I accept." She stood tall she stiffed up. She thought of all the times people said that she couldn't do anything right, she was a joke, unable to fill her mothers foot steps. "Then Come with me." Athena pushed opened a door that lead to a library filled with old things in cases and books lined up on every shelf. "To complete your mission you will need these," she said as Athena pulled out a silver curved rod that had a hole in the top of it. "What is it?" Clary asked amused by it, "It's called a Seraph blade." Clary picked it up and a white glowing blade shot up out of the top "The weapon of a showhunter, it knows and trusts it's holder. Only someone with angel blood can hold one. Use it wisely." Athena grabbed a what looked like a smaller blade up it already had a white glowing rock at the end of it "this is your Stele one is made for ever child on the day they are born." "What it is suppose to do?" Athena placed a small book in front of her. "This is a small book of runes that will help you along the way. Each rune has a different purpose." Clary was flipping through the pages "these look like the markings from the story." Athena nodded "they are, we only give the markings to the most trusted of the your mother. They will keep you safe." Clary packed all of her things in her bag and headed towards the forest edge with her mother and Maureen.
As they came to almost the edge Clary turned and gave Maureen a hug "I'll miss you, who am i going to an eye on now." Clary let out a little laugh. "I'm sure you'll have to keep Luke out of trouble." Maureen let out a laugh. Something was out of the bushes, a large wolf appeared then turned into a man. "Luke you came." "Of course I would Clary, wouldn't miss it." she smiled, walking over to her mother. "Be careful, there are things out there that wont be so friendly." "Don't worry mom I wont do anything that you wouldn't do." she smiled, "that's what I'm afraid of." giving her mom a huge she was squeezing a little to tightly. "um mom losing circulation." letting her go she walked over to Luke and gave him a hug Clary whispered "watch over her please." Luke looked up at Jocelyn. "Don't worry I will." Clary was about to leave when a little white light appeared Athena walked through, "Clary Fairchild your life changes from this point on, follow the North star to the first town you see and find Magnus Bane he will help you from there. Now go my child if you are to make it there by dawn." Clary bowed her head to Athena as she nodded her head with a smile. Clary took one last look at her friend and family and walked out of the tree line, as she was clear she started running like the wind free. As they watched her run Athena said "May the gods watch over you Clary Fairchild."
