1. When Fire meets Fate

The sun was dipping below the horizon of New York City, slowly and gradually. Crisp gold turning into soothing and calming shades of amber, the stars were beginning to dance over the city lights, a light cold breeze doing a victory dance.

It was a victorious day for the shadow world, downworld, and even the mundane world, even though they were not aware of why; it's because they had finally defeated Valentine and Johnathan Morgenstern, the evilest of the evil Shadowhunters shadow world has ever encountered.

The whole shadow world and downworld were in a party mood, all the institutes around the globe were decorated in mundane ways. LED and Chinese lights were running from one end to another. All the Shadowhunters had their day off, even Hunter's Moon, Jade Wolf, and Hotel DuMort were decorated in surreal ways.

But the biggest celebration was held at Pandemonium, the largest club in New York City owned by none other than Magnus Bane, the high warlock of Brooklyn. The club was open to everybody, be it the shadowhunters, downworlders - like the vampires, werewolves, fairies, merfolks, and even celestial beings, if they wanted that is.

*At the New York Institute*

*Alec's POV*

The training hall was where the party was taking place in the institute and most of the shadow world was gathered there, chatting, drinking, enjoying the freedom while Alec was standing in the corner, sipping on his champagne and glancing all around, the brightness from the dazzling chandelier and the constant chatter making him lightheaded as he waited for the right moment to proceed with the official part of the party. As the head of the New York Institute and a warrior who had fought in the war, it was his responsibility to say a few words.

"Found any interesting women in the crowd?" A voice chimed, making him startle.

"Shut up, Izzy!" Alec said in a flat voice, aware that all the women were gawking at his well-built, muscular body.

"Oh, come on, big brother, the whole shadow world is here. There must be someone."

"Not interested!"

"Oh, come on-"

"It's time, the Consul gave the signal." Keeping the glass on the counter, he strode towards the center of the hall, and all pairs of eyes turned towards him.

"May I have your attention, please?" He spoke, dismissing the fact that he already had.

"Today is a big day for us, we have defeated one of our greatest enemies, the head of the Circle, Valentine Morgenstern, and his half-demon son Johnathan Morgenstern, saving all the mortal instruments and the mundanes from dying or turning into dark Shadowhunters by Valentine's hands." He paused, glanced all around the hall, then spoke again.

"For what I'm going to say next, I want all of you to activate your secrecy rune." After everyone was done, "You all are aware, that Valentine was in possession of all the mortal instruments- The Mortal Cup, The Mortal Mirror, which is Lake Lynn itself, residing in Idris, and The Soul Sword; and his son Johnathan whom he resurrected so that he could rule beside him."

"They both had caused havoc all around the world, but now their stories have been put to an end, all because of the bravery of Clarissa Fairchild and Jocelyn Fairchild. They were Morgenstern themselves but had proved to be nothing like their relatives. Clarissa and Jocelyn were on our side, and are true Shadowhunters. They proved it by killing them, Clarissa killing Valentine, and Jocelyn Johnathan, they are both strong and fierce women justifying their Surname Fairchild." He paused, looking over at his friends, siblings, and mom who had proud smiles on their faces. "Clarissa Fairchild, step forward and walk towards the center of the hall."
