The Crossroad

TMI World

    "So," Simon started, "what kind of mission is this again?"

    "I, uh-" For the first time since this mission started, Clary was speechless.

    They were in a room full of people. Not just any people. There was one group, all of whom were wearing matching orange and purple shirts. Some were all wearing matching black robes. A goth-looking vampire, and another girl were standing in the middle of the room, in a stance that was protecting a boy behind them, the vampire holding a glowing stick just like the robed group while the girl had her one hand up with a gleaming ring.

    "This some kind of party?" Simon then asked.

    "I don't think so," Magnus said with a stern look, but it can be noted that he was biting his lip.

    "I thought we were here to gain information?" Alec asked, still on guard.

    "I guess not anymore," Jace replied, pointing his sword to the strangers. "Which one of you is the vampire Nicodemus Petty?"

    "Nicodemus? We're here for Nicodemus Petty?" Magnus was fuming. "I should've known."

    "You know him? Did you sleep with him?" Alec accused.

    "Not everyone I know is an ex of mine, Alexander." Magnus pointed out.

    "What do you want from him?" the guy who was a Dracula look-alike demanded.

    "They want the important 'information' I promised," a man in a cheap suit was suddenly against the doorway, "I'm Nicodemus."

    "Nicodemus." Magnus was gritting his teeth.

    "Bane." Nicodemus smirked, clearly amused while examining the room.

    "Is this what you want? To reconnect the Four?!" they have never seen Magnus this mad before.

    "I only meant for your world to meet mine, Bane, but it seems that the Fates favor my actions." Nicodemus said smugly.

    "Did you even think of the consequences this will make?!" Magnus retorted, "Or have you forgotten of the War, in your case, have you never heard of it?"

    "Of course I've heard of it, Bane. I'm not that new to this, although I wasn't born early enough to have witnessed it myself." Nicodemus shook his head, "But I can't pretend anymore like other worlds don't exist."

    "By the Angel, Magnus, what is he talking about?! What are you mad about?!" Isabelle yelled.

    "Oh Merlin, Nicodemus, would please start explaining this?!" the red-haired girl pleaded, still holding up her hand with the glowing ring.
