Awake, Arise or be Forever Fallen - 1

--------------------------------------

I stay at Magnus's for the night only messaging Jace to ask what happened with the mirror and him asking if I was okay to which I ignored him under the assumption he also knew about the sword. 

The following day the three of us head straight to the Seelie court. We are taken to Amara almost immediately and while Magnus and Luke bow to her I just nod and walk up to Cas to give him a hug. "So, the Clave lied and Valentine has the sword. Is anyone surprised." I tune out the conversation and instead stay wrapped up in Cas's arms. 

When Magnus holds his hand out for me to take I do and bid goodbye to Amara and Cas as we make our way out of the Seelie court. We return to Magnus's apartment and I decide to take a nap with my head resting in his lap while he gets lost in thought. 

I wake up when I hear knocking. I sit up and turn to face the door as Magnus unlocks it and Alec stands there clearly unsettled. I stand up and walk up to the door behind Magnus. "I know I have no right to ask either of your for favors but I need you." Magnus goes to shut the door but Alec stops him. "It's Max." 

"What's happened?" I ask worried stepping closer. 

"Jonathan attacked Max, he's in critical condition." Immediately I turn to Magnus and he nods and creates a portal. I quickly step through and head straight to the infirmary. A silent brother is already in the room when I step in and without a second thought I release my wings from my back. The silent brother does nothing for a moment before bowing. 

"I wish to be alone." I state and he nods before leaving. My eyes skim over Max's injured body knowing this won't be an easy task but it was one I refused to fail. I place my hand over the bandage on Max's head and try and do the same thing I did for Jace when we went into the parallel universe only for it not to work. 

I instead decide to take a risk and gently remove Max's bandage. I use water to gently cleanse the wound before placing my hand directly over the wound, almost touching it. I feel the energy around me shift and move as the area under my palm feels warm. When I pull my hand back I find that new skin is forming over the wound and I sigh in relief. 

It doesn't take me long to realize that that is not going to fix everything. Unsure of what to do I close my eyes and let instinct take over. My hands move, one to his chest over his heart and another to the back of his neck. I feel energy race through my body and leave through my hands entering Max's body. 

As this continues I feel my strength and energy waning until it becomes physically painful but I carry on until I no longer can and my body goes slack collapsing to the floor. 

------------------------------------

I am standing in my realm once again. I am in the same white dress and am surrounded by an empty meadow filled with colorful flowers I have never seen before. I feel at peace for the first time in awhile. 

I feel this strange sensation to my right, like an out of body experience. I turn and a bright light to my right and realize someone must be trying to come into my realm. I flick my wrist and the light spreads until it is large enough for a person to fit through. Shortly after an angel I haven't met steps through and bows his head to me briefly. 

"Hello blessed Child. I am Raphael, an archangel of god. I am also known as the angel of healing." 

"Just Adelina is fine."

"As you wish. You have accomplished a great feat today Adelina." Raphael says as he takes a seat beside me on the grass. 

"You mean with Max?"

"Yes, that boy was almost certainly not going to make it but you have given him your mark." 

"My what?" 

"You have given the boy the tiniest fraction of your soul. Each of your mates also hold a piece which will allow them to live a long life alongside you. This small fraction you gave the boy however will not prevent him aging but his healing will be much better and as Clarissa and Jonathan have experienced he could experience some other effects due to your choice."  I nod thinking of Clary's ability to create runes and Jace's ability to activate runes without a stele due to having pure angel blood. 

"So he will live?" Raphael just nods. "He will be fine?" 

"Yes, the boy will be heal with no permeant damage." I sigh in relief before hugging Raphael to which he hugs me back before I pull away. 

"Raphael, what can you tell me about the mortal mirror, or any of the mortal instruments for that matter. I need to protect the downworld and to do that I need to know more about it's possible dangers." 

"The mortal instruments were created by Raziel without gods guidance. God was concerned about how the demons had began to evolve so tasked Raziel with creating a way to protect the humans, so he created the shadow-hunters but should they ever fail or need guidance he gave them three tools to assist them." 

"The cup, the sword and the mirror." 

"Raziel never intended for any of them to be used as they have. He believed he could trust his creations to use them wisely. He did not learn from Gods mistake with his first human creations."  

"He wanted them to be used for incase the world became overrun by demons." 

"Yes but as you know humans can be greedy and many like Valentine sought the instruments for power. When Raziel realized this he was too late for the Sword and the cup had already been taken and only the mirror was left so he made it so that it could not be found." 

"But Clary and Jace found it. Jocelyn had it." 

"There were many fake's of each instrument created in order to protect the real ones." 

"Then, they are protecting a fake. The mirror they have isn't the actual mirror." 

"Correct the actual mirror is-"
