Chapter 4: Journey To A Whole New World

Magnus does the spell to travel between worlds...

Chapter Complete!!

Just a little heads up- for Simon's parents I'm pretty much going with the OC's I came up with for the SEM Verse- they'll probably be a constant throughout the verses- sorry Simon.

Hmm...is that everything?

It should be ...he very nearly bought out half Clary's stock, and that's on top of everything else he already had. At this point the shelves of the Annex of his lair are packed so full you couldn't fit one more potion bottle, crystal or spell book.

This has to be everything...

Unless he's taking his entire lair this has to be it. The next step was just piling random crap on the floor and really the place has enough of a 'hoarder' vibe already, don't need to add to that aesthetic.

He sighed, glancing around once more, hoping he had everything. It really was a one shot kinda thing. He'd spent nearly half the day trying to pare down, get his supplies to just a cabinet or two, easy enough to spell and drag through the portal. However after so long he just had to give that up as a lost cause. At this point he had no clue what or who was causing the issues with the vale- there was no way to whittle down what to take when he was basically going in blind.

If he had any hope of getting this handled he had to have access to near anything he could possibly need. In addition to that he'd need a place to stay and work...he can't very well just rent a motel room to work out of. Spells can be rather loud and eye catching...might draw a bit too much attention.

No...that would most definitely not work,

He needed a space of his own, out, away from the masses. Probably fairly well cloaked. Something that wouldn't draw attention and would afford him the privacy he needed.

There really was only one option; just take the whole damn annex with him. It was possible, though the spell was quite intricate and took a near terrifying amount of power. He's one of the only beings in the Magical realm powerful enough to perform such a spell- even the council doesn't know he can do this (Though he's made a point to keep their knowledge of him spotty at best, tossing in rumors and disinformation partly to screw with them but also as a bit of insurance. After all always good to have a few aces up your sleeve.)

In truth doing the spell would diminish his abilities quite a bit for at least a week or so- it wouldn't out and out drain them, but he'd certainly feel the effects and be far weaker than he has been in centuries. He'd still be far from helpless but nowhere near full strength- and in a new, unfamiliar world searching for an unknown threat to both worlds that made him rather uneasy. That's why the Wandering Quarters spell wasn't his first choice. If he does the spell there's no way he'd be able to cross back over for nearly a month. That's a big gamble, but it really was the best option. The only real option, if he has a chance at this.
