Bound by Blood (Alec Lightwood)

What the Hell is Going on - Part 2

When we arrive at Magnus' house he insists on giving Cary a reading using Tarot Cards, it continues like this for a couple of minutes until Clary cut him off.

"We're not actually here for a reading. We know you're a warlock Magnus." She says pausing for a couple of seconds before continuing "were shadowhunters"

He frowns before he starts to laugh t us "there are no more shadowhunters. Haven't been for hundreds of years."

"I can prove it." Clary says before standing to do god knows what, she pulls up her sleeve before turning her arm towards Magnus.

"All I see shadowhunter," he taunts "is that you could use a serious tan"

Right" Clary sighs before continuing "bad strategy, no runes in this dimension." Se looks around before picking up. Sketch pad and pencil that were laying na side table "We are from an alternate reality,"

"If that were true, without an anchor you'd be assimilating into the world," he shuts her down immediately

"Believe me, I am trying to fight it, she utters

"At least you've got an anchor" i mumble under my breath, quiet enough that no one heard me

"Referring back, that's part of why we need your help," she says turning the paper around and showing Magnus the picture she drew, she drew it in like two minutes which is literally impossible. " in our dimension, shadowhunters still battle demons and now there is something so much worse. We need your magic to help us stop it."

"Please" i add at the end of Clarys sentence

"I cant help you. My magics gone dormant." He rises form the chair he was sitting in and walks over to the window

"Then wake it up!" I exclaim getting annoyed at this whole conversation

"This better work," Magnus states a couple minutes later, he made some sort of drink that supposedly helps ring his magic back

"What is that?" Clary asks scrunching her face up in disgust

"It should help kick start my magic." after sculling the drink

"And, did it?" I ask

Magnus shrugs "Give it a minute?" I tune out as he and Clary start talking some book and his bookshelf "This isn't working! This is the longest ive ever abstained." He complains "from a lot of things"

"Why dont you just try something simple?" I pipe up looking around "Move that" i point to a teacup

Magnus tries moving it but all he achieves is making a few puffs of blue smoke com out of his fingers before stopping again.

Usually you have a bit more of a-" Clary makes some weird gestures with her hands "flourish to it"

"I do not look like that." Magnus states

"Well....." i trail off shrugging my shoulders while Magnus glares at me, trying again only causing him to groan angrily when nothing happens

"Magnus, we just need to find the portal" Clary sighs

"Even if my magic was working, i still need an energy signature of some kind to track i," Magnus explains
