Everything was foggy,like a blur , but he knew this place ,it's the institute in which he spent 16 years , but this place hasn't remained the same . It is more like a war zone than a peaceful institution. Bloods, corpses , weapons and screams are the normal things he has been watching for 7 years .More the days passed more the dream became clear but he doesn't know how he came or who did all these things. It's not look like a normal person’s work ,if it is then what's the ground behind these catastrophic conditions ?

These were  the  few questions Magnus was still finding but the effect remains the same , like someone doesn't hope for him to find his own questions. He passed through each and every corpse. It's impossible to consider who was whom ,their faces were already filled with deep bruises. He went and went on , intending to find his family, where were his parents ?Where were his friends ? Where
Was  Alec ? He didn't know. He also desired not to be with any of them .

Then suddenly he saw a hooded man , who was approaching him . The more the hooded person came closer the more Magnus stepped back . He knew there was only one way in which he could escape from this vicious situation so he started to run . When he turned his head back he saw that the hooded person was chasing him he started to shout
“ No please please leave me I didn't done anything wrong just leave me please let me go “

When Magnus opened his eyes ,he saw that it's dawn time , meaning he got up so early or maybe his dream woke him up so early. He thought it's better if he got some fresh air. Desire for this he approached the balcony. He was looking at the never-sleep city and thinking about his dream .
He felt  someone's presence and saw that alec was near him .

“ so again nightmare huh “ alec asked
“Yes wait how you know “ magnus asked him back
“Sometimes you forget that I'm your parabatai,explain “ alec replied
“Yaa it's same like years ago same the hooded person, same the corpses ,same the blood, same the scream and like before I wake up I'm exhausted really I can't do this anymore “ magnus said
“Why you don't talk about this to uncle luke or someone who can help you with this thing “ alec replied
“Ohh and what I would say to them , if  you believe this,it doesn't mean that everyone would believe this stupid thing. What they will think about this that I'm still a child who is afraiding from a single dream which is almost familiar to me “ magnus said
“I'll help you with this matter and magnus there's nothing not to believe in this scary thing and  you are also allowed to be afraid you are a normal human being “ alec answered (he knows that if he doesn't push magnus towards this it will remain same and haunting magnus for forever)
“ I'm sorry for waking you up it's not my intention to do “ magnus tried to change the topic
“Ohh that's not happened because of you I don't know why I'm unable to sleep that's why I came here “ alec replied and smiled
“ Thank you alec for being with me everytime when I needed you most “ magnus said
“No need , actually I don't want to leave you . Since you are a part of me I'll protect you from any danger . “ Alec smiled and hugged him. At first Magnus was amazed but he also hugged him back .

Alec was sitting in his office, checking some files , which arrived from California yesterday. Being an inquisitor wasn't easy. These things came under his obligations so he thought it's better to end all these important things. At that time Luke and Robert came into his office

“Ohh dad , uncle luke come come “ alec welcomed them at first sight alec understand that something is wrong so he asked
“Is something is wrong dad “
“Actually we are here to discuss about a very important matter “ Robert said
“At yesterday Melbourne institute had a l attack, they were still don't know who was the attacker , according to them they are hooded and wore black so for them it's impossible to figure who are the behind it “
“Hmm it's so mysterious, what is death record “ alec asked

“It's not that good actually no one is dead , it seems like they came to give a threat , otherwise they at least killed a few people.
Their intention is something else something we can't imagine “ Robert said
“Ok so whoever they are they are not normal we have to keep an eye over the other institutions also maybe it would happen with other institutions also “ alec replied in which Robert and luke both nodded
“Okay dad , uncle luke I'll go to the Melbourne institute, a single is necessary “ alec said
“No, don't dear  you'd better stay here. I'll go there to talk to them , you are an inquisitor so just watch our institution for these days “ Luke said
“Ok as you wish “ alec answered and smiled

At the lab
“No it's impossible to say that those damages are normal “ Jocelyn said

Jocelyn was lab manager , the corpses which came to the institution they  directly sent to lab for experiment or cause of death , are often dead in a mysterious way which is handled by Jocelyn Greymark.

“How means what you see abnormal” alec asked

“ Look at the bruises he or she got because of a very hard and very very strong object or you can consider it also as magic” she said .

“But he or she whether it is , it's downworlder so it could save itself with his magic “ magnus said .

“ He or she tried so many times that's why we can't know whether it's a male or female. The attack completely changed him and I can say that the attack was brutal “ Jocelyn said .

From the evidence, Maryse, Izzy , Jace , Clary , magnus and alec understand that it's not a normal thing

“ Have you any idea that who did this and how “ Izzy asked

“No I can't do this child, it's very hard work and these machines aren't enough to find out the real reason behind this so I a warlock is a better option” Jocelyn said .

“We need to call Caterina,” Jace said .

“It's very mysterious , in my whole life as a warlock I didn't see this type of damage of burn and bruises on a person “ Catarina said

“ Catarina can you please tell us what's the real cause of death” alec inquired

“Sure but for that I need to use my magic “ she said and started to experiment the body through her magic .

Suddenly she opened her eyes ,her eyes full of scared she said

“ We are searching for a very very strong power “ she said

“What what are you saying please explain” magnus said

“Look as you already know that it's not a normal corpse and about cause of death then he was beaten by a very strong weapon when the attacker got clue that it's not enough then it used its power to burn him alive without any weapon and about bruises then it's from weapon and the attack’s cause from internal also “ Caterina said

“ What you mean say that the attacker was powerful enough to burn him alive without any weapon who the hell is that person “ Jace said

“Wait , there is also a thing “ Catarina said

“ What Caterina tell us please “ Jocelyn requested

“There is a sign of angelic power “ Caterina told

“Angelic power , you mean us shadowhunters “ Simon  said

“ Yes shadowhunter and archangel too “ Caterina replied

“But they were excited only about centuries ago “ Clary said

“Yes that's the point but my inner feelings tell me that it's archangel too “ Caterina answered

“Then the mysterious attacker is archangel and we are following an archangel “ magnus said in which everyone looks at him and nodded
