Prologue:
Lit up the War
Magnus stared at the vast Garden of Eden as his car was heading to the grand mansion. The Eden was the largest headquarter the Downworld Empire had in London. And this headquarter was owned by the Warlock faction, under the name of his late father, Amadeus. The Eden was located in the countryside of Wales, covered by vast mountains in Cadair Idris. This was where the core operation of the mafia, the Downworld Empire exists.
The car stopped in front of the large gate and a butler approached them and opened the car.
"Good evening High Warlock Bane. You're quite late, the celebration had already started inside." The green-eyed butler greeted him as he handed his coat to him. The butler was wearing a black suit and had a pair of wings engraved on his left, blue vest. The fair folk crest, he belonged to the faerie faction. Magnus smirked at him and suddenly grabbed the back of his neck and kissed him senseless. After a moment he drew himself back while the faerie was gasping for air and ended up whining. He knew that the faerie wanted more from him but he couldn't afford that.
After all, the faerie faction may possessed the beauty of an angel and could take you into your own personal high but he knew they were cruel. They will used you until you lost your soul and humanity. To stop him from whining and clinging to him he rummaged into his pocket and got a single piece of item and slipped it to his mouth. He then grabbed the butler's neck once again and kissed him. As their tongue was battling with dominance he slipped the pill that he swallowed earlier and handed it to his mouth. The butler caught the pill in his tongue and pulled back. The butler smirked and fixed his suit as they walked inside the hall.
When they reached the end of the hall the butler opened the door and smirked to him once again. "I certainly wanted to have some fun with you High Warlock Bane but this-"then he stuck out his tongue where the pill Magnus gave moments ago laid, the white pill was slowly dissolving against his saliva. "Is an irreplaceable item for us feys. May you enjoy the rest of the night, High Warlock Bane." He then moved to the side and joined the other feys, with more drugs displayed in their table. Other feys were making out while handling them the drugs that kept them high and wonderful. He could also see another fey who was torturing an innocent boy to take in drugs and possibly, made him sold the drugs in the black market. Suddenly a pair of muscular arms hugged him from behind.
"You wound me, Magnus. You've already started playing with the fey when you could have played with me in the first place." As the man behind him purred into his ear and bite hard. Magnus couldn't help the moan that escaped his lips at the warm welcome. He pushed him back and turned around to confront the man behind him.
"You're one to talk Woosley. I just had a little, hot kissing session with the fey and here you are, all covered in red and purple love bites. So I'm guessing you just had a rough fantastic night?"
"Hell yes! But you know, it would be more fantastic-"Woosley then wrapped his arms in his waist and pulled him closed. Their bulges touching each other in their close proximity. "If you did it with me. I miss you Magnus. I miss how you could make me scream and made my body on fire. How your cock would slide into me and take me over and over again." To prove what he said he gripped Magnus' ass tightly that made Magnus gasped in pleasure. He stared into him, his golden green eyes had disappeared, lust etched in his face. When Woosley noticed this and smirked as he shamelessly grinded his hips to him. Not caring if they were making out in front of the other factions.
"Oh fuck! Don't—don't do that! I have some important business to do! We can have all the fun later baby." Magnus said as he stole one last, breathtaking kiss with his little playmate. But it seems Woosley couldn't hear a single thing as lust consumed him. When he felt that Woosley was going to force himself to him he slammed him into the wall that caught him off-guard. He shrieked in pain from the sudden impact and was choking when Magnus held his throat tightly.
"I said STOP! Or I will kill you!" Magnus threatened as his eyes was widening because of the rage he was feeling. His nails was digging to his flesh mercilessly, Woosley's face was deathly pale, and he could see drops of blood already seeping from his throat.
"Mag- Magnus! I was just kidding around you know! I'm sorry!" Woosley pleaded as he struggled against him. After a while Magnus finally calmed down and released him. He immediately fell down to the floor as Woosley was recovering his breath.
"I—I'm sorry Woosley but I wasn't just really in the mood right now. I am so sorry baby." Magnus said as he knelt down in front of him and tend his wounds with his handkerchief.
"I'm sorry too Magnus. I know you weren't in the mood because you're worried of your sister. But honestly I just miss you and somehow I wanted to help you loosen up. You had been tense ever since Tessa left for the peace negotiation." Magnus flinched when he heard his sister's name. Tessa was not his biological sister, but she and Magnus was adopted by Amadeus when they were young. He found them in an abandoned alley 10 years ago and decided to adopt them. Ever since they were impossibly closed with each other. Tessa was such a sweetheart to everybody. Even the whole mafia learned to love them that they decided to make her their Donna.
"You know I couldn't make myself to relax when she is surrounded in the Shadowhunter's lair. "
"Magnus, I know you're worried. Heck, every one of us is worried. But I believed Will and Jem will protect her with all their might. Just one day. Tomorrow, everything will be all over. The peace between the Downworld Empire and the Clave will finally turn into reality. And that's why we are celebrating right now, because when the Accords will be sought out, we wouldn't enjoy all our glory anymore." He said as he winked at him.
"Yes. Just one day. Just one day." Magnus said, much more to himself. He'd been trying to convince himself. Woosley's right, Will and Jem would protect her. After all, those three were irrevocably in love with each other. The Downworld Empire was the largest and most influential mafia in the world, consists of four factions, mainly the Fair Folk in which they operated in the black market and drug operations. The Vampire faction was divided into two cluster, the day lighters who attacked and operates in daylight and the night crawlers who invade at night. They were specialized in human trafficking. They loved having humans as their slaves in all aspects. They were the hardest to control as they craved for bloodlust that sometimes, it seems nothing could stop them. But thankfully, the Children of the moon is on the rescue. They were in the Werewolves faction as they were primarily the deadly warriors of the Downworld Empire Mafia. They were a bunch of men with muscular arms and legs and had taken a brutal training to protect the mafia. Though generally, all of them had undergone brutal training for the mafia, the weres just standout in martial arts.
And last but not probably the least, the Warlock faction. The deadliest and the leaders of them all. They possessed all of the natures the other factions had and they were mostly feared of the mafia. Mainly because of their demonic characteristics. They didn't like to be bossed around by just a random person and wouldn't hesitate at any time to kill or give in to their demonic side, even if it was their comrade or loved one. They fear no one. They could find you out even if you were hiding into the deepest pits of hell and surely, they wouldn't hesitate to make your life a living hell. These four factions formed one unified mafia. While the mafia was in the pits of all its glory in controlling the world, unfortunately a group of stupid, patriotic people intruded and wanted to steal the glory from them.
The Clave. A group of enforcers around the world that was formed to maintain peace and order of the world. When the United Nations was formed the Clave also merged. They were the peace and order body of the United Nations. They fought and interfered with heinous crimes, maintained peace and order and the human rights of people. And the Mafia disgusted them so much because they were playing the hero card. For them they were a bunch of hypocrite that prevented all the people from having a happy, material life.
And that's when the endless fraud between the Clave and the Mafia began. The Clave was on constant mission to annihilate them, but the Downworld Empire was just as powerful as the Clave. Until Tessa, Will and Jem came and convinced both sides to compromise and make peace. And fortunately, they were able to convince both sides. They knew this peace negotiation was an absurd thing to do but they could only hope that everything went well tomorrow.
"Magnus?" His reverie was interrupted when he heard Woosley's voice. He stared up at him and helped him stood up. Jordan Kyle, Woosley's right hand approached him and helped him. Magnus stepped to the side to give way to Jordan.
"Jordan, thank you for helping me. How was the faction?"
"It was good Alpha. They were training the newly acquired men in the training room. Our warriors are coming to the London Institute to back up Tessa and protect her for tomorrow. In case something will happen."
"Good." Just then Magnus decided to interfere in their conversation and asked.
"Where's Ragnor by the way? I haven't seen him." Jordan and Woosley smirked at his question and from the looks of it he already knew the answer.
"He was busy being fucked up in the vampire's den. Good luck! I bet Raphael will wrangled your neck if you interrupted them." Magnus returned the smirk to them.
"Oh, I plan on interrupting them. This will be an amusing show." As he stepped up and hastily went to the staircase to go into the third floor. The third floor was housed by the vampires and it was the only floor that was covered in pitch black darkness.
By the time he reached the third floor there were more moans, screams of agony and pleasure had erupted throughout the floor but Magnus couldn't find himself to care in their business. In some rooms he could see that the vampires were mercilessly sexing with their human, sex slaves. He could see purple bruise in their body and several cuts, and wounds while their body was dripping with blood but the vampires drank it hungrily, increasing their lustful appetite further. The vampires liked to engage in BDSM in all aspects as they craved for bloodlust.
As he came on the last room he immediately opened the door without the consent of the people inside. And he was very delighted by the scene that welcomed him. Ragnor was in the bed, his hands and feet were mercilessly tied up in the bed, like a virgin sacrifice. While Raphael was on top of him thrusting roughly while holding a whip in his left hand. The sound of the banged door made them froze for a second and tilted their head in the intruder. Ragnor's eyes had widened and attempted to cover himself while Raphael just growled dangerously at him.
"Magnus. How dare you to intrude when you knew we were extremely busy!" Raphael hissed as he raised his whip and attempted to hit Magnus. But Magnus was quick and evaded the whip before it landed to him and watched the two with amusement.
"I just wanted to chit chat with my best friend but I can see he is very busy. Anyway, Ragnor, this is such an amusing show. Who would've guess the Boss of the Downworld Empire Mafia was a bottom? And he would like to be ravished than be the one ravishing in bed?" He teased as Ragnor scowled at him.
"Shut up Magn- Aaaaaahhh!" Ragnor's reply was cut off with a loud moan as Raphael suddenly thrust onto him, wild and deep.
"You shouldn't speak another man's name in our bed!" Raphael growled possessively as he bit hard on Ragnor's neck. Causing another delightful moan from the latter. Magnus could see the blood seeping from his neck where Raphael had bitted him and that Raphael was licking at it deliciously. Magnus just watched the fantastic show in front of him with a smirk in his face.
"What do you want Magnus?" Raphael asked while he continued on pounding in his lover. Magnus raised his eyebrows as he replied wittedly.
"My, my, do you want me to have a conversation with Ragnor while you two were fucking?"
"Deal with it. You interrupted us. I would be damned if we stop right now to give room for your oh so mighty question Bane." Raphael spat back at him.
"Well if you insists, better give me a damn straight answer Ragnor if you didn't want me to witness the entire show. First off, are the traps ready?"
"Yes. The- the bombs and other explosive devices was on the venue already. If in any- ahh! In any case the negotiation will screw up we will burn the whole place. Woosley's - warriors was already on the move and is boarding in Praetor Lupus, but majority of them were residing in the Magister's den. Though they couldn't penetrate the Institute but we have control on the entire London. De Quincy and the Magister's headquarters were on standby if anything came up."
"And the fey?"
"The fey were gathering the black market to trade until tonight as much as they can. They've already controlled some powerful countries who were obsessed with drugs and blackmailed them to grant whatever wished they had in exchange for drugs. We've captured newly recruit children who can be a potential member for the mafia's future generation."
"So basically, almost all of our forces were on standby around London?"
"80% of it. The headquarters on New York was also monitoring our situation here in London. The other 20% was enforced in our headquarters in case our headquarters will be attacked. Don't worry, we had full control over Tessa's protection. We will not let the Donna be hurt for tomorrow's occasion. "
"What about here in Eden?"
"Magnus, no one knows the main headquarter of the mafia except us, the upper echelons. The Shadowhunters wouldn't expect a soul that in the peaceful, mountain countryside of Cadair Idris lays the core operation of the Downworld Empire. We've been using this ever since the mafia was founded." Magnus sighed as he was satisfied with the explanation Ragnor given him. Ragnor was definitely the best Boss the mafia could have wanted. He normally wasn't interested in the political affairs of the mafia, but then this was a different case since it involved his sister.
"Okay then. I only came here to personally know the details of the preparation. You can resume with whatever kinkiness you were doing." As Magnus smirked at them once again.
"You aren't going to celebrate?"
"I couldn't celebrate when I am shit worried about Tessa there. I will, once tomorrow's negotiation will be over." Without waiting for their reply he slammed the door shut and rushed to the elevator. He was bothered and been damn worried ever since Tessa flew to London. He preferred to be trapped in his loft with Tessa's things there than celebrating with them while worrying sick head for his beloved sister. He hurried to his car and ordered his driver to drive him back to his loft. As he went back to his loft he immediately went to his bed and lain in comfort as sleep lured him.
Magnus was being woken with a loud banging at his door. He cursed as he got up and putted on some clothes. This better be a very important matter or else he would seriously kill the person who disturbed his beauty sleep. The banging got louder that made Magnus very furious as he rushed to go into the front door. As he opened it he quickly slammed the person in the wall with one hand and twisted his left shoulder painfully. The person shrieked in pain and agony, just then Magnus recognized who was the man. It was his driver.
"You better have an acceptable explanation Mister. Or else I'll kill you for disturbing me. You know very well how I hate someone intruding my beauty sleep."
"This is important High Warlock Bane! It's an emergency! The top priority of all! Something happened!" Now he got Magnus' attention and he quickly released his shoulder. Something happened. He had a bad feeling about it. His rage was slowly building up but he fought for control. He was never really good at controlling.
"What is it? What happened to Tessa?"
"With - - with Tessa, we still didn't know. But the Eden was being bombarded by the Shadowhunters." Magnus froze at what he said and his blood had ran cold. His friends, the upper echelon and the Boss was all there. Without much explanation he gripped him painfully and stared at him dangerously.
"Lead me to them!" He yelled as he commanded his driver.
"Yes Sir." As he quickly went to his car while Magnus followed him. His heart was beating crazy right now. He couldn't believe this bullshit was happening. It was the main headquarter of the mafia for fucks sake! Where the hell they got the information of their den? The traitor was going to pay for it! His driver broke the speed limit and in no time they were able to get back at Eden. Magnus quickly got out from the car and stared the horrible scene before him. The Grand Mansion that was covered with thick, vivid trees and grasses had now turned into ashes with a large crater on it. In the crater laid the thousand, burnt bodies of the Downworlders.
His bloodlust rose up in unimaginable level and punched the ground as he knelt down. The blood was seeping from his hand but he couldn't care less. He was beyond furious right now. His driver suddenly grabbed his shoulders, he was supposed to retaliate but his driver quickly said "The survivors were in the cave, High Warlock Bane. And there was one shadowhunter they managed to capture." With this Magnus yanked his shoulders off of him and walked fast into the cave. They were going to pay! As they reached the inside of the cave he was greeted with very few survivors in lead of Raphael. Magnus caught their disheveled, horrible state. Blood soaked everywhere, with their own blood.
"What happened? Where are the others Raphael?" As he interrogated him, his voice dangerously low.
"We got a surprised attack from them. And many were killed Magnus. Including the other echelons."
"Who? Who died?!"
"Woosley Scott from the Were faction and The Queen from the Faerie faction. John Shade from your faction And. . . Ragnor Fell." Magnus' eyes widened from what he said and before he could control himself he threw hard punches on Raphael's face. The punch was so hard it broke his nose. The others were too shocked and afraid to do anything while Raphael knelt on the floor from the pain he received. Magnus got his gun and was supposed to pull the trigger but a hand stopped him. He turned to glare at the intruder and gritted his teeth.
"Malcolm. Don't you dare stop me or else!"
"Or else what Magnus? You'll kill me? Your own comrade? Your own brotherhood? Really, Magnus, calm down! Your outburst won't do any good in the mafia! Like you, we were all frustrated, angry at what happened! We've lost half of our forces! Instead of killing our comrade let's just kill our true enemy! There's an imprisoned shadowhunter here! You're very welcome to kill him!"
"But he didn't save Ragnor! My bestfriend! He didn't save our Boss and most of all he didn't save his lover!" Magnus spat back at him and throw deathly glare on Raphael. But his eyes softened when he saw that Raphael was truly hurting, and that tears were running down on his cheeks.
"I'm—I'm sorry Raphael. I know you tried to save him with all your might. But I, I was just . . . really furious right now!"
"That's why we should stop blaming each other. We have a shadowhunter to interrogate and to kill." Malcolm led the way with Magnus, Meliorn of the fey faction, Jordan with Raphael supporting in his shoulders behind him. They reached the dungeon where the shadowhunter was being chained with silver bane. A painful and very sharp weapon created by the Werewolf faction. This time he pulled the trigger and raised the gun in the shadowhunter's face.
"Where is Tessa?!" Magnus demanded as he dug the gun in his wound, causing the shadowhunter to shriek in pain. But after a minute he began laughing and spat Magnus' face with his saliva.
"Tessa? Oh? That filthy downworlder? She's gone! We killed her! It was an awesome show actually! She was begging for our mercy not to kill her! But then we did it-"He was cut off with a noise of a gun firing and the next thing he knew, he shrieked in pain as his hips were wounded. More gunshots came to his body as it landed on his left and right shoulder, his legs, his stomach, and his feet. Magnus didn't even blinked an eye as he shot bullets to the chained shadowhunter. But the shadowhunter just laughed hilariously at them.
"You can't really do anything right now you filthy downworlders! Accept it! You're gone already! Your kind was annihilated! You lost! This world will never have a room for your kind, you filthy down-"Before he could utter another hateful words his eyes were shot by Magnus and his eyeball had burst and popped out.
"Burn his body on fire." Magnus commanded as his hands were shaking from absolute rage. The shadowhunters was going to pay for it! All of them!
"Magnus? What do you want to do?" Malcolm asked as he handed him another gun.
"Are the preparations made by Ragnor still on the go?"
"Yes. Definitely. The Clave was going to pursue the worldwide broadcasts. They will announced that the Downworld Empire Mafia was . . . defeated." Magnus gripped the gun tightly while shaking furiously.
"Good. Signal De Quincy and the Praetor Lupus as well as our New York headquarters. We're going on the plan. And. . . . "He then turned around to face the few survivors of the downworld massacre. Their faces only screamed one thing. Death.
"Annihilate all the Shadowhunters in the London Institute. Kill all the members of the London Enclave. All of them. Send them into the pits of hell and don't let anyone of them survived."
