Chapter 3:
Year 2008
Clary was in the training room with Jace, practicing her archery when a portal opened and two Valentines walked through. Clary quickly aimed the bow she was holding at them and Jace grabbed a sword.
"We planted just one, and now look! There are two Valentines!" Sarcasm dripped from Jace's voice.
"We're Vincent and Valiant Von Clyde," the one on the left answered.
"Why do you look exactly like Valentine," Jace asked,
"We are actually clones of him," Valiant affirmed.
"So you're like two new versions of him?" Jace concluded with dismay.
"No!" Vincent protested. "We're nothing like him."
"First of all, we're not evil," Valiant pointed out.
"But you're clones of Valentine Morgenstern," Clary insisted.
"It's a 'nurture over nature' thing. We weren't raised by Valentine. We only just recently learned we were clones," Vincent explained.
"If Valentine didn't raise you, who did?" Jace inquired.
"The scientist who was forced to create us, hid us," Valiant elucidated.
"Look, we're not evil. We just wanted to come meet our family," Valiant was getting exasperated.
"You mean Clary and Jocelyn?" Jace queried.
"Yes," Vincent said.
"Are there anymore clones that we should know about?" Clary questioned.
Vincent and Valiant looked at each other. "Not that we know of," Valiant answered.

Shadowhunter lives are peaceful and long.
But that's just boring,
So to add some spice,
Let's bring villains back,
Cause they're rather nice!
