Magnus Bane

Magnus Bane was in his room intently reading the book Tessa had given him when he had heard a knock at the door. He went to attend it but when he had opened the door, no one was there. Thinking that he must have just imagined it he started walking back to his room, that is until the knocking began again. Now he was definitely sure that he had not imagined that. He went back to the door and opened it, but once again, No one. He was about to close the door but then a hand had pushed before it has closed. Looking up Magnus Bane was shock to see a person whom he would have not thought he would ever see again. After all, he has been dead for some years now. In fact, Magnus had watched the woman he love and his parabatai mourn over his death.

"Magnus."

The person had said, clearly it was a boy. He looks like he was around 17 or 18 years old. He was wearing some sort of a victorian suit, a white shirt, a coat and brown trousers matched with a pair of black boots. He had jet black hair and eyes that are as blue as the ocean. I must be dreaming. He- He's dead. Magnus thought. Magnus knew it. The boy really was dead. Or so he thought he was. He had watched him sacrifice a lot for the woman he loved. He saw how the boy painfully watched over his parabatai who was slowly dying from demon poison. How he married the only woman he had ever shown love in his entire life. How he had kids and named one of them after his parabatai and the other after a female character of a book he and his wife loves. But time is cruel, He slowly aged and though his blue eyes never lost its wonderful color, it was odd seeing him grow older and have gray hair while his wife stayed young and beautiful.

"Who are you?!"

He could not actually believe what was he seeing, so that was the first words Magnus uttered to the boy. The boy shrugged and looked down. He was nervous, or so it seems like he was. The boy looked up but Magnus was not expecting him to be wearing a smirk, the boy spoke,

"Funny, I remember clearly, you said that you would not forget me."

Of course! How could Magnus forget that handsome blue-eyed shadowhunter whom he had help. He had not meant to say that he did not know the boy, what he meant was he was not sure who the boy is. The boy spoke again,

"Magnus, I do not know what is happening. I am clearly in a different era. What year is it?" He spoke slowly.

"2008."

The boy gasped, "Then. . . I should be dead by now, shouldn't I?!" There was silence, but then he spoke again, "Or maybe, Biting vampires had its perks and it had allowed me to lived longer than I should have!"

"Do not be silly. There is no such thing, Will Herondale."

Magnus finally recollecting himself smiled. And the boy did the same thing. He clapped his hands and said,

"Ah. So the warlock do remember me."

Magnus nodded and invited the boy, Will, to come inside. He move farther from the door so that Will could come in. They were both silent. Questions ran through their heads. How was this possible? Is he really alive? How is Tessa? Is she with Jem? There were more and more but one stood out from Will and him being himself thinking it was such an important matter broke the silent and asked,

"Magnus, If I may ask, why are you dressed like that? It is very displeasing to the eye. Has something happened to you? Are you alright?"

Laughing, Magnus replied, "You have missed on a lot of things Will, do you have the time?"

"Apparently, I do. Is that glitters in your hair, Magnus?"

"Yes. Yes it is. Now go sit there and I shall make some tea."

"No need, thank you." They walked to the couch and sat. And Will began to tell how he ended up at Magnus' porch. "Right now, the only thing I would want to know is how had this happened. The last thing I remembered was Jem playing the violin, Tessa by side and then darkness came to me but when I woke, I was in this place called, Taki's. People we're looking at me strangely. The women, not that I am complaining, was wearing very tight and short clothes, and the men we're not wearing coats but rather some shirts that read, 'GAMER GEEK' and that was when I knew that something was wrong."

"Well I actually thi-" Magnus was interrupted when there was another knock at the door. "Seriously?! Who is this now? Oh lemme guess, James?" Of course he was being sarcastic and is pertaining to Will's son, James. He walked to the door and opened it. Then revealed another boy, although Magnus was quite sure that he is related to the other Herondale. It was not the son, but rather the great great grandson, Jace Herondale. "Jace! How perfect." Magnus said.

"Well, hello to you too, my parabatai's ex." Magnus froze. He need not to remember possibly one of the greatest mistakes that he had made - breaking up with Alec Lightwood. He was stunned but rolled his eyes at the blonde boy.

"No need to remind me, Lightwood. What do you want?"

"I am here to tell you that you should talk to Alec. He's not really doing well. I blame you." He says bluntly.

"Magnus? Who was it? Is it really James?" Will joked walking towards Magnus. He was laughing but stopped to stare at the boy at the door. "Oh. You're not James. That's too bad. If I am hearing right, a descendant of Lightworm?"

"Oh! Magnus. That was fast! You replace my parabatai over this? This still stuck in Victorian era dude? How your standards went low. And for your information, I am only Lightwood by name. I was adopted." He answered emphasising the word 'wood'.

"How dare you insult my pride. Magnus? Replace his parabatai? What is this imbecile talking about?"

"Woah hold up. Will is not my boyfriend. And Jace, this is your great great great grandfather. William Herondale."
