Someone said online that the Malec wedding seems rushed. Well, what do you expect from a TV show that needs to end on a good note after it was cancelled by a shitty network?
#SaveShadowhunters
Asmodeus had been swimming around his throne room in circle. He was worrying and worrying and worrying. Magnus was supposed to be home by now. His don never missed the chance to dress up? Where was his son? What had happened to him? Where was Magnus? Had he run away after what happened between then and that note he was given was just a fake? God, Asmodeus hoped that was true because at least Magnus would be somewhere safe. Or was he really taken? There was a war brewing and that note could have been forged. That made the underwater king even more anxious and angry. Why would anyone take Magnus and not him? He deserved this, not his beautiful boy! And where was the bastard that had taken him?! Asmodeus swore to himself, if he found who had stripped his son from the waters that were his home, he would turn them into sea foam. Asmodeus screamed, through his trident at the wall. It sunk deep inside of the wall. Asmodeus screamed louder. Where was Magnus!?
"My king!" Azazel yelled, swimming inside of the room. He swam over to his king and took his shoulder in his hands. "You must calm down my king."
"How can I?! I have no idea what the hell is going on up on the surface! I have no idea who took the prince and why! I don't even know if he's alive!" Asmodeus yelled back, pushing Azazel off of him.
"Magnus will be alright, he is a smart boy. A prince and you raised him. If something terrible has really befallen him he will find a way to overcome and escape it."
"You can not be sure about that old friend. "
"How can I? It's not like Magnus snuck away from me to swim up on the surface millions of times." Asmodues chuckled weakly. Azazel pressed his hand on his back "We will find Magnus or he will escape himself. But we will not give up on the prince."
"You're right." Asmodeus said. "You're always right."
"I am your personal adviser for a reason."
"I will find my son though. But what I do know, is that if I do not find Magnus by the time that the sun goes down, I am going to war with the shadowhunters and all of the surface dwellers!"
Thinking about not finding the prince made Asmodues' mood worsen. He was not going to have his son stripped from him. No! Asmodeus screamed louder, the coral chandelier at the top of the roof shaking. Azazel moved his magic, keeping the chandelier in place perfectly so that it didn't fall and kill him or his king. Then, there was the sound of someone swimming inside. The king and his right hand turned around and saw a knight swim inside.
"My king!" the knight cried. "You… you need to come with me. Someone requests a meeting."
"Who dares?" Asmodeus asked, almost like he didn't care.
"It's… It's the prince's fiance. He's here."
Azazel and Asmodeus both met eyes. What was Sebastian doing here? Why wasn't he out looking for Magnus? Asmodeus swam past the knight and Azazel as fast as he could. His friend and adviser struggling to catch up. The underwater king swam outside of the palace and met the blonde hair of his son's fiance. He looked… almost distraught. Asmodeus swam to him, begging for good news.
"Sebastian!" he cried. "The prince… my son… where is he?"
Sebastian turned to the king. He had an angry look on his face. He curled his hands into fists and shook his head.
"The land dwellers. I saw them… they're holding the prince." he said. If only it was the truth.
Asmodeus' eyes almost turned red and his ears seemed like they were blowing steam. Those land walkers. How dare they?! Asmodeus screamed, raising his hand and pulling the trident to him with his magic.
"Those shadowhunters, those downworlders up there… all of them will die!" he growled. He held up his trident to Sebastian's neck. "You! You will lead my army of demons!"
"Yes my king."
Asmodeus slammed his trident in the water, sending a wave of water throughout the entire ocean. "PREPARE FOR WAR!" he yelled to all of his people.
Alec was excited to see Magnus again. He had actually told Magnus how he felt last night. He had actually told him that he was falling in love with him. And Alec kissed him. He actually kissed him. And Magnus kissed him back. He actually felt the same. Alec woke up later that day with a wide smile on his face. He had never awoken that happy in a long time. Alec yanked himself out of bed and his eyes immediately met with his window that gave a beautiful look over the ocean that Magnus lived. The water looked like a beautiful, large sapphire. It was beautiful.
But not as beautiful as Magnus. Magnus' eyes were a beautiful color, almost like gold. His tail was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Even better than a priceless, rare jewel. Alec walked over to the large window, looking out as the sun shone down on the waters and shining beautifully. Alec smiled. He wanted to see his lover.
Lover.
Woah. The word seemed a bit strange coming from his mind. It was strange. But good. Alec loved that word. And loved that that word was now associated in his mind with the beautiful Magnus Bane. Alec turned away from the window and continued to dress. He needed to head to the beach. He wanted to see Magnus as soon as humanly possible. Alec pulled his his armor on and moved to grab his bow, when his eyes met the window and the beach. Alec froze. He saw something on the beach. Something... strange. There was a person on the beach. Alec quickly pulled his stele off of his desk and ran it onto his vision rune. His vision zoomed in a bit on the beach.
He could see a bit more clearly now. He saw someone, dressed in dark brown walking across the beach. Lugging something over his shoulder. Alec squinted, looking to see if he could recognize the person. He did.
It was Valentine.
What was Valentine doing on the beach? And what was he lugging? Valentine pulled the thing on his shoulder, tightening his grip. But whatever he was holding moved to the side and it shone in the sun. Alec knew that shine. And as he ran his stele through his vision rune again to see for himself he was right.
It was Magnus.
Alec lost his breath. Magnus. He wasn't moving. He looked completely still in Valentine's arms. But his lips were moving. Alec ran his fingers right his hearing rune and he shoved the window opened.
"Help! Help me!" Magnus voice screamed.
"Shut your mouth fish boy." Valentine said, not even moving to hurt Magnus. To even lay his hands on him. "We need to hurry along before the battle starts."
Battle?, Alec thought. What the hell did he mean battle?
Alec grabbed his bow and nocked it with a small arrow. Alec had designed it with Izzy when he was at the beach a few months before he had met Magnus. The two of them had made it so that they could hit in the smallest places when they are attacked. That way when the arrow hit, it could temporary paralyze. Or it could be used as a blood tracker. Which was exactly what Alec was going to do now. He nocked the arrow and held it up close to his nose. He looked, aiming for the thigh. It wouldn't kill, maim or cause too much pain. But it would make a small cut and the blood would drip, drip, drip. Leaving a trail. For him to find Valentine and Magnus. Alec was ready to let the arrow fly when there was a knock at his door.
"Crap." he mutter, lowering the bow just a bit before letting it back up where it was. "Focus Alec... focus..."
There was another knock. "Alec!" called Jace.
Alec let the arrow fly. He watched with his sight as the air flew through the air and hit Valentine in the thigh. The man groaned in pain a bit, before he continued walking. Alec nodded. Jace opened the door and walked inside. He saw Alec, sitting by the opened window with his bow in his hands.
"What the hell are you doing Alec?" Jace asked.
"It's Valentine." Alec said, setting his bow down and grabbing his stele.
"What? What's Valentine?" Jace asked.
"It was him. Remember? Raj said something about the leader of a coup. The Circle." Alec explained. "Look. It was Valentine."
Jace walked over and looked through the window. He snatched Alec's stele from him and ran it through his vision rune. He looked and saw Valentine.
"Holy shit." he said. "Alec, he-he has Magnus."
"I know. And he also said something about a battle." Alec said. "I think that it has something to do with the ocean. Something's going on."
"Should I go and fetch Izzy?"
"No... no... I need to go alone. Spy on Valentine, see what he's doing and maybe who's he's working with. But I do need you to do something for me."
Jace nodded. "Anything for you parabatai."
"I need you to go to Underhill and ask him for the book on merfolk."
"Why?"
"Don't you remember what Magnus said about his father when you met him? His father cares about him, a little too much that he is trying to marry him off. Imagine if he hears about his son going missing." Alec explained. "And Underhill can help us. Underhill knows every single book in the library and what they're for and how they can help. Go to him, ask him if there's any way that we can go into the ocean."
Jace nodded. "I can do that."
"And find Jonathan."
"Jonathan? Why?"
"That's Valentine's son. Maybe he knows what his father is planning, maybe he doesn't. But maybe he can help us."
"I'll look for him."
Alec nodded, he swung on foot through the opened window and whistles for Ilio. After a few seconds, his horse, ran over. Happy to go out on another ride with Alec. Alec turned over to Jace.
"If something goes wrong, on either end. Surface or the ocean, let Izzy and Mom know first. They can help." Alec said.
"You can count on me parabatai." Jace said. "Be careful."
Alec turned back over and jumped out of the window. He took hold of his horse's reins and patted her mane. "Ilio, come on. Magnus is in danger. Come on, to the beach."
Ilio listened to her rider and took off running towards the sandy beach. Ilio noticed how desperate Alec looked and she hurried. Running as fast as her legs could carry her. Alec pulled lightly on her reins as he approached the beach and they bothe landed on the sand. Alec looked down. His arrow had landed where it needed. He saw small and medium sized droplets of blood. Alec rubbed Ilio's mane as he looked. Valentine couldn't have gotten very far, especially since Alec had only seen him cross by a couple of moments ago.
Alec jumped off of his horse and ran his stele through his silence rune. He needed to be careful. If Valentine saw him, he would kill Magnus. And then everything would go to shit. Alec looked over at Ilio.
"Stay here, okay girl?" he said. "If I'm not back in two hours, go and find Jace, okay?"
Ilio nodded and gave a soft neigh. Alec chuckled.
"Okay, good. Now go and graze."
Ilio rode off as she was instructed. Alec turned back over to the blood trail. He prayed that Valentine wasn't going to hurt Magnus. Not after they had told each other how they feel. Not after Alec finally told himself that was falling deep in love with the merman prince. Alec was not going to let someone like Valentine take him away from him. He was not going to let Magnus die. He was not going to let Magnus get hurt.
"You're starting a war. What you're doing is going to cause a war!" Magnus yelled, his entire body limp in the hold of one of his wicked captors.
Magnus knew that he knew should have trusted Sebastian, if that even was his real name. But of course. He had a golden heart and gave him a chance.
"I know." responded his kidnapped as he walked up a small sandy hill. "This war will get rid of your disgusting family and your disgusting downworld people. And not only that, but it will get rid of those shadowhunters that believe that you people are equal to ours."
"There's no reason for us to fight." Magnus said. "We can be allies, friends and lovers."
"Please. Shadowhunters are the superior race. And you need to die in order for us to restart as the pure blooded species." Valentine said, walking inside of the cave that he walked up to.
He slowly moved down and laid Magnus down on the sand inside of the cave. Magnus groaned in anger. Valentine smiled, seeing him there. Unable to move and unable to fight against the coup leader.
"You know who my father is." Magnus said. "He's the king. He will find me. He will kill you when he finds out that you kidnapped me. And so will my Alexander."
"Please." Valentine said. "You're paralyzed now. Right at my mercy. I could kill you right now if I wanted to."
Valentine, to prove his point, moved over and pressed his hand hard against Magnus' neck. Choking him. Magnus couldn't fight back. He choked. Valentine smiled.
"P-Please..." Magnus coughed.
Valentine pulled his hand away and pressed his knee against Magnus' chest. Magnus coughed loudly in pain. "I want to watch your people die. I want to watch as my shadowhunters shoot them down with arrows, slice them with their swords. And when the fighting is down. And everyone is dead... I'll drag your father and your Alexander's body here. And make you watch as I slice their necks."
Valentine pulled out a cloth from his back pocket. Magnus tried to fight, but he couldn't. He was stuck completely still. Valentine tied the cloth over his eyes.
"It'd be best if you didn't see the war until it's time for you to die." Valentine whispered.
Magnus heard the sand crunch from where he was and Valentine walk away. Magnus sighed in panic.
A war was coming. A war was starting.
