Chapter 3

"As you all know a few months ago at the end of the Dark War Jonathon Morgenstern was captured in Edom after the Infernal Cup was destroyed" Maryse began once everyone had arrived and gathered in the library. Of course they knew. They had been the ones to capture him. Even as they sat there months later they all remembered it as if it had just happened.

Flashback:

She swung Heosphoros up and dug it in to Sebastian's skin just a little. Not enough to kill him but enough to cause pain. He wasn't stupid he knew it could kill him if driven in far enough. "How do we destroy the Dark Nephilim and the Cup?" she asked.

He took a moment to reply "take Phaesphorors and slice open the Behemoth Demon". Clary knew without having to think that Jace was doing it.

"Now through it into the ring. It will destroy them both" he said. Jace climbed the Dais cup in hand. For a moment Clary allowed her eyes to flick to Jace but in that moment Sebastian had started to move. Clary reacted with her only option. She drove Heosphoros into his shoulder so that he would have a chance to live, she hoped. Two things happened simultaneously: 1) Jace threw the cup into the blue ring and it shattered into pieces across the tiled floor and 2) Sebastian staggered with a small flame licking the wound. He reached up and threw the sword to the ground. The blade was glowing slightly as it fell at the dais steps. It glowed as if there was still a bit of Heavenly fire trapped in it. The cries of the Endarkened filled the room as one by one they fell to the ground dead. The last to go was Amatis. Her eyes reached Luke and in her last moments her eyes were filled with recognition and love and sorrow and regret. Regret that she had driven him away in his time of need and that she hadn't made up with him sooner and that they hadn't had more time together, sorrow for her part in the war and for all the lost lives and for her lost life and lost time with Luke. They were filled with infinite love and hope that Luke could somehow find it in him to forgive her for everything. Clary had no doubt that Luke's eyes reflected that love and that he forgave her. Then at last the last of the Endarkened fell to the ground and died. Clary saw a single tear flow freely down Luke's cheek. She then turned her attention to Sebastian. He lay on the ground a few paces away. His eyes were open and what clary saw shocked her. He still had a black eye, that wasn't much of a surprise but now the right eye was emerald green. The shade of Clary's and the other one, the black one had flecks of green in it. Jocelyn went over and knelt by him and he didn't object to her holding him like a mother. Jace came over to Clary and took her hand.

"How do we get home?" he asked.

"I have a rune in mind, an enhanced portal rune" she said. She went over to the wall where the window to their world had been and she drew the portal. The portal opened to reveal the accords hall of their world. She turned around, picked up Heosphoros and re-descended the steps to where Sebastian lay, still not recovered and drew a binding, a quietude rune and an immobility rune on him. Then she went over to where Luke sat at Amatis' side.

"Ave atque vale Amatis Herondale" he said.

"Luke" she said gently "Luke we have to go". He nodded and went over to Jocelyn and helped her pick Sebastian up. They carried him through the portal but before anyone could follow it closed. They turned to see a man behind them.

"I am Asmodeous, greater demon and co-ruler of Edom" he said.

"Father what do you want?" Magnus asked stiffly.

"Father?" Alec asked. He figured that Magnus' father was powerful but he didn't think of this.

"You know what I want" Asmodeous replied.

When they got back to the accords hall the silent brothers were taking Sebastian to the silent city but none of them felt like rejoicing. They had lost Simon to the mundane world. They were all heartbroken. When they saw Simon at the wedding reception it was good to know that he was ok but it was hard for them all. A few days later Magnus successfully restored all Simon's memories. Since then Simon had ascended and was now well into his training as a Shadowhunter. He was able to do everything quicker because of his age.

"As I was saying" Maryse said. They all turned their attention back to her. "Jonathon Morgenstern was escorted to the silent City where he has been for the last three and a half months until earlier this week when he escaped. It seems that the Heavenly Fire in his veins has caused him to change and for a while he was better, more human, however because of the numerous blocks in his mind the silent brothers were unable to get in to his mind fully. All they got was the name Ankh. We now believe that he is going after another cup by this name. It is called 'The Cup of Ankh'. This cup is meant to give immortality to people who drink from it. We have pinned its approximate location to a boarding school in England. The clave wants you 6 to go to Frobisher Smythe academy and find and protect the cup before Sebastian gets it, before he recovers to his former self" she said.

"6? Magnus is coming?" Alec asked.

"Of course I am Alexander" Magnus said coming in as his usual glittery self "I wouldn't let you have all the fun plus the clave thinks that I might be able to help in your search" he informed.

"When do we leave?" Clary asked. If she was going on a mission for the clave she would need to start packing.

"Tomorrow. Ye could be there for up to a year" she replied. They all nodded and left. Jace looked slightly too amused as they left.

"Jace what are you planning?" Clary asked

"Nothing" he replied sweetly, too sweetly.

"Jace if you try anything on me I swear I will-" she began.

"What will you do?" Jace asked

"It's actually what I won't do" she threatened with a smile. His face fell and the happy looked vanished.

"Fine. I'll just go help Alec pack" he smiled and went off in the direction of Alec's room
