Asmodeus sat on his throne, unsurprised when his son burst through the doors, his so-called 'family' behind him. Standing up, the Greater Demon descended the stairs leading up to his seat, stopping at the last step, Magnus stopping halfway to him. "I see you've gotten out of the cells and killed my forces."

"Why do you seem so surprised?" Magnus asked sarcastically. Alec, Rafe, and Thomas all had their bows ready to fire, Natalia and Thomas flexing their fingers, itching to blast the prince of Hell in front of them.

"Surely you know you'll have to take over Edom at some point?" Asmodeus laughed. "You'll outlive the Nephilim behind you that you call family. Then you'll have no one but me, Natalia, and Max."

"I did pretty well on my own when I first left you," Magnus growled. "And I'll do even better with my true family by my side."

Once he was done speaking, the three Shadowhunters unleashed their arrows and the warlock let out their magic. Everything hit Asmodeus right in the chest. A piercing scream filled the halls as the Greater Demon died in a burst of light. With a relieved sigh, Magnus turned to his family with a smile. "Let's go home."
