"You have progressed since you got your angelic rune and I think you are ready for your first mission. What do you think?" Alec said to his little brother, both of them in his office.

"I've been ready since the day I first got here." Max said smiling widely at his brother.

"Then better get over your training. You know our sister hates tardiness." Alec said to his brother that rolled his eyes.

Max was walking out when Jace and Clary entered. "Hey guys, um....do you know where Anna is?" Max asked.

"She is training Max, something you should do too." Alec said.

"Fine...." Max said and walked out as Jace smiled at his littlr brother and patted his back.

"Don't worry Max, everybody loves spending time with my sister, but right now, she is really not in the mood to talk or be nice to anyone." Jace said and Max looked at him confused.

"Is she ok?" Max asked.

"She will be. Just give her some time." Jace said smiling and Max nodded as he walked out.

"Any sign of Jonathan?" ALec asked as Max walked out, but stopped to hear the conversation.

"No, we tracked the box itself but it wasn't enough." Jace said and then they noticed Max standing by the door.

Max got the hint and walked away to his training. 

"So Valentine has somebody stealing baby booties?" Alec asked annoyed at the situation.

"Someone did. Someone that wants us to not be able to track Jonathan." Jace said as he put the box on the desk.

"And now we have no lead to either of them." Clary said.

"Actually we have less than nothing." Alec said and Clary and Jace looked at him confused. Alec sighed tiredly and looked at them. "There is something you should know." 

"Ok. Go on." Jace said.

"The Clave doesn't have the Soul Sword. They never did." ALec declared and the two looked at him shocked.

"So the Clave has been lying this entire time?" Clary asked.

"Wouldn't be the first time." Jace muttered.

"The Clave is trying to prevent an Uprising. If the Downworld will find out that we have the Soul Sword will be chaos." Alec warned.

"The Sword have been deactivated. It can't be used on Downworlders." Clary said confused.

"Not the way Valentine wanted to use it before, but it's still an Mortal Instrument." Alec said and Clary looked confused. Jace then turned to her.

"If it is combined with the cup and the mirror, he can raise the Angel Razil." Jace explained.

"I thought it was just a legend." Clary said.

"All legends are true." Alec said. "The Angel will grant him one wish. Anything he wants." Alec explained.

"The end of the Downworld as we know it." Clary said shocked.

"Exactly." Alec said.

"Does Anna know about this?" Jace asked folding his arms.

"No. And I don't want you or anyone else to tell her about this." Alec asked.

"Wait what? Why?" Clary asked confused.

"Because if she will find out, she will tell Magnus and Raphael. Then it will get to Luke and then everyone on the Downworld will find out." Alec explained.
