Chapter II

12 years later........

Clang

The hunting dagger fell out of the hands of the golden-eyed boy. And before he could do anything, his opponent was on him, with a bronze blade hovering by the boy's neck.

"I give up dude . Now let me go." Jace Lightwood Herondale exclaimed.

"Well , well. Now I have seen it all. Jace Duckdale giving up." Came a voice from the far corner of the training room. It was Simon Lovelace .

"What can I say, it's a bit hard not to when your brother goes all angry ninja on you." Jace retorted and looked towards his said brother.

Alec Lightwood, who had just began to cap back his sword into it's pen form , shrugged. He was a tall figure , easily towering over both his companions. All the years of Nephilim and demigod training had done him good. He was lean and muscular, like a swimmer or an athlete . His black hair and blue/green eyes gave him the looks of a panther .

"Oi Alec ! Earth to Alec. What's going on in your mind?" Jace asked.

"Nothing. Just that this should teach you well not to eat up all my pancakes." Alec replied.

"So this was about pancakes?" Simon asked, amused.

"No it was about the ducks that I brutally murdered mundane." Jace retorted.
"Hey ! I am not even a mundane anymore." Simon protested.

Alec casted an amused glance at his two companions. "Enough both of you. You squabble is not as interesting as you think ." He sassed .

Jace just rolled his eyes. Alec rarelly let people see this sassy and snarky side of him . This side was was reserved for the other side of his family. For the gods and immortal jerks , Jace had been told. Jace could still remember the unfaithful day when he had met one of his cousins.

_________________________________________

Jace was twelve, Alec 14. They had just recently become parabatai. By this time , Alec had filled him up with all the weirdness that was his life . Where he went every summer. Who lived on the Empire State. His quests. Jace had taken this quite well.

Afterall, all stories are true.

But he had not known , not until that day that his adopted brother had another name too .

Percy Jackson . Perseus.

He had just been pacing the aisle between the numerous pews - all marked up, in gear, his numerous weapons hanging from his weapons belt - waiting for Alec and lzzy.

Suddenly the double doors of the institute barged open and a girl came stomping inside.

Although she had no runes on her ,she did have scars. She like him was all weaponed up. She looked about 16, and oddly , like a female version of Alec. But where Alec's eyes reminded of the sea , her's gave him the feeling of the sky during a thunderstorm .

He came to a halt when she saw him, her eyes wary. Jace thought his eyes looked the same.

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"Well I could ask you the same, because the last time I checked, this is my home." Jace retorted.

But before she could reply, the elevator dinged open and his sblings poured out, Alec with his bow in hand, laughing at something Izzy had told .

When he saw the girl, he did a double take, his eyes going to the size of chakrams . All color left his face .Seeing her brother's reaction, Izzy reached for her whip."Who the hell are you?" she asked the girl with unhidden hostility.
