Chapter Six

"Oh do buck up Alexander, you and Bane never had a real chance together. You must have known he was going to use you to fulfill his own needs and then dump you at the next port they stop at." Valentine patted Alec's dark hair as he sat down on a chair next to the bed the nobleman had been chained to. Jonathan pressing a cloth to the sluggishly bleeding head wound he left when knocking the frantic Alec out a few hours prior.

"You have no idea what you're talking about. You broke our deal so I have no intention of holding up my end of the bargain." Alec spat, refusing to look at Valentine as his heart ached for Magnus. The sight of the man who had somehow managed to steal his heart in such a short amount of time being tossed overboard played on repeat in his mind.

"Have you heard the tale of the Song of the Sea before Alexander?" Valentine carried on like Alec had never spoken and Jonathan had to resist from rolling his eyes at his father.

"It's nothing more than a myth," Alec said flatly, uninterested in what Valentine had to say.

"Its much more than a myth boy and your family found it. The Song of the Sea was sealed away because your family feared the power it possessed. Only your family can break the seal and the person who breaks the seal will be granted a single wish, whatever it is they desire. Your parents knew the location but after all our time together they refused to tell me the location. That's why they left when you when your siblings were born, they knew I would come looking so they ran and got into some bad business dealings in the process." Valentine spoke and Alec now understood why Magnus had sent people to the Lightwood mansion in the first place, he must have been someone his parents had scorned.

"I will use you to break the seal and gain the power to control the oceans. Once I control the oceans then well it will be easy to make the world mine, I mean ours right Jonathan?" Valentine was ranting by the end with a crazed look in his eye and Alec was shrinking away from the man. Jonathan placed his hand on Alec's shoulder in a silent show of assurance that confused Alec.

"Right father, I think you should go and check on our progress. I'll stay to make sure Alexander knows what his role in breaking the seal will be." Jonathan promised his father, Valentine straightened his clothes and left the room without even a nod at his own son.

"Your father is insane," Alec stated as he glanced at Jonathan.

"He wasn't this bad to start with… When my birth mother died and then my stepmother and sister took off one day he just sort of… Broke and he fixated on the Song of the Sea. He has no idea what powers he is playing with." Jonathan muttered the last part.

"What sort of powers?" Alec asked quietly.

"You don't need to know, just stay quiet and I will try my best to make sure you survive the ritual. There is no need to lose any more people to my father's crazed quest." Jonathan stopped all conversation after that, leaving Alec alone with his thoughts when the blond left the room.

"Magnus… I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Alec murmured to himself as he remembered the sight of Magnus sleeping next to him looking at peace and relaxed for the past few nights. How Magnus' lips felt on his and he only hoped Magnus was happy where ever he was now. Alec was lost in his memories so he didn't notice the way a single tear dripped down his cheek.

~~Prince~~

Magnus sputtered and coughed up sea water that made his eyes burn as he collapsed on the deck of his ship, a strong arm hitting his back to help him expel the water that got into his lungs before he had been fished out of the ocean.

"I know you…" Magnus coughed out as he caught sight of bright blond hair.

"I would think so Captain Bane, you've had my brother for a while now." Jace wiped his own mouth with the back of his hand, both men soaking wet as the crew of the Raziel checked on the crewmembers of the Prince.

"Alexander! Valentine has him!" Magnus suddenly panicked as he remembered Alec surrendering himself and the screaming for him when he had been tossed overboard.

"We know, we got here a minute too late to stop him but we know where he is taking him." Clary stepped forward with blankets to wrap Magnus and Jace in. Both men took the warm and dry blankets gratefully and bundled themselves up in the fabric.

"Where is that madman taking him?" Magnus looked at the redhead and Alexander's siblings who were really working the pirate looks just as Alexander had back in Pandemonium.

"The location of the Song of the Sea, it's the in a cove. I already gave your first mate the headings for it, we are on our way now." Clary nodded up at Raphael who was behind the wheel of the ship, Simon at his side. Raphael nodded at Magnus who returned the nod, Simon looking relieved that Magnus was alive while Raphael concealed it better.

"We have to get there soon, Alexander is counting on us." Magnus rose to his feet and blinked when he came face to face with Isabelle Lightwood's dagger.

"What are your intentions with my big brother, I swear if you have touched him without his consent I will gut you right here and now." Isabelle snarled and Magnus was impressed with her, she was a fine Captain and fiercer than any other woman he had met in his life.

"Only with his consent, Alexander is special to me… I want proper time to court him, to pamper him with what he deserves and to love him." Magnus said truthfully.

"Good answer now let's get you both into some dry clothes and then we will plan on how to save Alec." Izzy hummed as she sheathed her dagger back onto her thigh and sauntered up towards the wheel with Clary at her side.

"That is one terrifying woman," Magnus commented.

"Don't I know it," Jace chuckled fondly. "We better get my brother back in one piece Bane or I'll help Izzy make sure you wish you had drowned back there."

"If that is the case I will gladly let you." Magnus inclined his head in agreement and Jace nodded before the two headed their own ways to get dry clothes.

"Wait for me Alexander, I will find you," Magnus swore.
