Jace Herondale looked up at the demon he called, feeling uncomfortable. The demon's name was Anriq, a greater demon. Jace looked at the large tentacled mass. "What is it?" Jace responded hoarsely. "Clary. I want to see her." The demon laughed. "I can't let you see her in person, but I could create a window that lets you see her." Jace sighed. "Okay. How is it gonna cost me?" The creature seemed to smirk. "Half a Morgenstern's soul." Jace choked. "How will I do that?" Anriq smirked. "You'll see."
Jace looked down at the clear globe in front of him. All he had to do was say her name. "Clary." He whispered softly to the globe. Suddenly, the ball shimmered and a boy came into view. He had pale hair, and sparkling emerald green eyes. He was sprawled almost arrogantly on a red velvet high-back chair, his long legs draped on the arms of the chair. He had an almost sleepy expressionon his face. He looked deathly familiar. "Mother... " He called tiredly. The boy looked five, but his facial features looked more like one of twelve.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in the room.Behind her were two children. One was fair haired like the boy in the chair, but had glinting onyx eyes, and sharper features. The little girl next to him had fire red hair, with silvery white streaks. She had one black eye and one green one, but they seemed to be clouded in a way, that made them look like they had a silvery gloss to them.
The woman, as Jace focused on her, was Clary. Was she babysitting somebody? "Yes Luke. How are you feeling?" Worry etched on her features. The boy rolled over, a twisted smile on his face. He giggled girlishly. "Mother, I feel SO much better! I feel like I can throw a boulder ten feet far!" The black-eyed boy at who Jace assumed was his brother. Clary looked more concerned.
The boy snapped at the other boy named Luke. "Lucian Magnus Morgenstern! You better get your act together!" He hissed. Jace sucked in a breath. Morgenstern? The boy revealed as Lucian looked at his brother.
"Valentine Seraphus Morgenstern! Shut up or I'll strangle you, Father's boy!" He sung. So Mr Gloom's name was Valentine. Jace was getting suspicious and had a guess, but it was far too insane to be true.
And at that moment, Valentine Seraphus Morgenstern revealed his true self.
