4:47
Speaker 2: you will see a link link to all the other
4:51
Speaker 2: podcasts and the Autoba Production Family podcasts, as well as
4:53
Speaker 2: the YouTube channel. Hi, how are you gonna subscribe?
4:57
Speaker 3: Yeah?
5:00
Speaker 2: I couldn't get any gear with that trust man tried.
5:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:05
Speaker 2: So what are we talking about today? Talking about the
5:14
Speaker 2: Mortal Instruments.
5:19
Speaker 1: So today we are gonna be talking about the fifth
5:22
Speaker 1: book in the Mortal Instrument series. This is gonna be
5:27
Speaker 1: Moral Instrument, City of Lost Souls. Uh So this is
5:32
Speaker 1: the second to the last installment of the series. Uh
5:36
Speaker 1: this one was this book so like from the last
5:42
Speaker 1: book that we read, that one was more of personally,
5:47
Speaker 1: I thought that one was more of a filler book.
5:49
Speaker 1: Uh huh, because not much happened of course until like
5:54
Speaker 1: the confrontation with Lilith and then the resurrection of Jonathan
6:00
Speaker 1: all them. H this book is more aggravating because, like
6:06
Speaker 1: the for me personally, it's more aggravating because there's a
6:09
Speaker 1: lot of shit that happens, and uh, you know, Jonathan
6:15
Speaker 1: is back, and oh my god, I hate Jonathan so much.
6:19
Speaker 1: He's such a piece of shit. He no longer goes.
6:22
Speaker 1: The thing about Jonathan is that like, even though yeah,
6:25
Speaker 1: he's Jonathan, he prefers to still go by his the
6:30
Speaker 1: name he took on in book three, City of Glass,
6:34
Speaker 1: he disguised himself as a as a shadow hunter names Sebastian.
6:38
Speaker 1: So he decides to like call himself that, call himself
6:41
Speaker 1: Sebastian because it's his way of separating himself from both
6:45
Speaker 1: Balan Sign and Johncelyn. He has no real love for
6:49
Speaker 1: his mom, mainly because, like he even though he is
6:52
Speaker 1: a like half demon psychopath, he still feeling has like
6:56
Speaker 1: some like feelings of like resentment towards her because like
7:01
Speaker 1: he feels like she abandoned him and never gave him
7:04
Speaker 1: a chance like love and normal life whatever, blah blah blah,
7:07
Speaker 1: But deep down he doesn't even give a shit because,
7:10
Speaker 1: like thee think about being the thing is that he
7:14
Speaker 1: has both the blood of and Razial flowing through his veins.
7:20
Speaker 1: So he's still a shadow hunter, but he's a shadow
7:22
Speaker 1: hunter that's been augmented by a greater demon's blood and
7:27
Speaker 1: this makes him into this so the socio psychopathic killer
7:35
Speaker 1: like he has no real empathy for anybody around him,
7:38
Speaker 1: and honestly, in the eyes of his father, Valentine, Jonathan
7:47
Speaker 1: was more of a failure as an experiment than Jace was.
7:52
Speaker 1: Jace was more along the lines of what Valentine was
7:56
Speaker 1: looking for, but Valentine still felt that Jace was a
8:00
Speaker 1: failure because thinking about Jonathan was that Jonathan was too
8:04
Speaker 1: aggressive and too much of a cold blooded killer, while
8:06
Speaker 1: Jace was too affectionate and well. Valentine, in his own way,
8:13
Speaker 1: he loved he loved Jase for that. He raised Jason's
8:16
Speaker 1: his own son, and you know it's like he he
8:18
Speaker 1: loved him for that, but that's not what he was
8:20
Speaker 1: looking for. He wanted a weapon. And even though Jonathan
8:23
Speaker 1: was too aggressive and too psychopathic. He was still more
8:28
Speaker 1: of what Valentine was looking for in his ultimate weapon,
8:33
Speaker 1: but now this is coming to bite him in the button.
8:35
Speaker 1: Even though Valentine is no longer I'm among us, He's
8:41
Speaker 1: Valentine is now a pile of ashes.
8:45
Speaker 2: Good and making rotten.
8:46
Speaker 1: Hell mm hmm yep. Uh So, I'm not gonna go
8:51
Speaker 1: into too much detail about this book. This book was like,
8:58
Speaker 1: not really my favorite. Like this book and Book four,
9:00
Speaker 1: we're not really my favorite in the series because not
9:03
Speaker 1: a lot happens. And while it sets up john they
9:06
Speaker 1: they the real purpose is to set up Jonathan as
9:09
Speaker 1: the new big bad guy. He takes He takes Valentine's
9:13
Speaker 1: place as the big bad evil guy, and arguably he
9:17
Speaker 1: is worse than Valentine because we're valanced. Where Valentine failed,
9:21
Speaker 1: Jonathan really succeeds. Uh So, Throughout the majority of this book,
9:27
Speaker 1: uh the shadow Hunter team, Clarie, the Lightwoods, from Clarie's
9:32
Speaker 1: own mother, and even Simon, they all are trying. They
9:37
Speaker 1: are all trying, trying their hardest to track down Jase
9:41
Speaker 1: because in the wake of the fight with Lilith, Jace
9:45
Speaker 1: had disappeared, and so did the body of Jonathan. Now
9:51
Speaker 1: the worst case. Unfortunately, the worst case scenario is that
9:54
Speaker 1: the they have to uh, they have to assume that
9:57
Speaker 1: Jonathan is now uh is now out alive and he's
10:02
Speaker 1: operating again, and the whole shadow Hunter world has been
10:06
Speaker 1: completely put on high alert. They're looking for John, they're
10:10
Speaker 1: looking for Jonathan, and they're looking for Jason. But they're
10:12
Speaker 1: looking for Jason the assumption that he is a hostage
10:15
Speaker 1: of some kind. The thing is is that Clary is
10:23
Speaker 1: you know, she feels powerless. She doesn't know like what
10:25
Speaker 1: she can do because since she's still an underage shadow Hunter,
10:28
Speaker 1: they're keeping her pretty far away from this. They're not
10:31
Speaker 1: really telling her what's going on or what like, how
10:35
Speaker 1: are what steps they're taking to find Jase.
10:40
Speaker 3: And.
10:42
Speaker 1: You know, she of course turns to her best friend, Simon.
10:45
Speaker 1: Simon is dealing with his own problems. He can't return
10:49
Speaker 1: to his home because his mother kicked him out after
10:53
Speaker 1: finding out he's a vampire. And he can't even get
10:56
Speaker 1: into his own home because she put a bunch of
10:59
Speaker 1: religious and that repel Simon. And since Simon is yeah,
11:04
Speaker 1: and since Simon is Jewish, the symbols are all like
11:07
Speaker 1: Jewish related, so ironically Christian Catholic symbology don't affect him,
11:14
Speaker 1: but Jewish religious symbols do, so it's like, oh, okay,
11:19
Speaker 1: so the divine like what usually repels vampires is like
11:24
Speaker 1: you know, God, God, holy symbology, things like that, but
11:30
Speaker 1: it's also like affected by their beliefs. So for Jewish
11:34
Speaker 1: he's still technically within that religious range. Is just that
11:37
Speaker 1: since he's part of the Jewish faith, that's the only
11:41
Speaker 1: part that that's the only part of that whole like
11:44
Speaker 1: religion that will affect him. And I'm pretty sure if
11:49
Speaker 1: there was an I'm pretty sure if there was an
11:51
Speaker 1: Arabic if there was an Arabic vampire, I'm pretty sure
11:55
Speaker 1: like the Koran, the Qoran, and like the Islamic symbologies
12:00
Speaker 1: would probably repel at least in like at least in
12:04
Speaker 1: Cassandra Player's books. But anyway, while while they are trying
12:11
Speaker 1: to figure out where she where Jaces, they decide to
12:16
Speaker 1: turn to the Sealy Queen and for help. In return,
12:21
Speaker 1: they agree to deliver two fairy rings too. They just
12:29
Speaker 1: they agree to deliver a pair of fairy fairy rings.
12:32
Speaker 1: And the thing about the fairy rings is that they
12:34
Speaker 1: allow telepathic communication between the wearers so while uh so,
12:42
Speaker 1: the furcos of the rings were to help, like thee
12:44
Speaker 1: The thing about the Sealy Queen is that you know
12:46
Speaker 1: they she knows more than she lets on, but she
12:48
Speaker 1: likes to fuck around and like play around with you
12:51
Speaker 1: as she gives out the answers, so like she'll give
12:53
Speaker 1: you the answer, but in like a very indirect way,
12:56
Speaker 1: so like like the best way to like the way
13:00
Speaker 1: of telling Clary, like the best way to find Jase
13:03
Speaker 1: is to join him, right and well, these rings will help,
13:08
Speaker 1: like are supposed to help. The thing is is that
13:14
Speaker 1: while she's trying to figure out what these rings do,
13:16
Speaker 1: she takes them back to the shadow Hunter library in
13:18
Speaker 1: the Institute, and while she's there, she notices that Jace
13:21
Speaker 1: is there, and he is also there with her half
13:28
Speaker 1: brother Jonathan or Sebastian We're gonna refer to him as
13:30
Speaker 1: Sebastian from for the rest of the book. Ah, And
13:34
Speaker 1: she knows she doesn't like, she doesn't like reveal herself
13:38
Speaker 1: at me. At first she she sees Jason, she's like
13:40
Speaker 1: like excited to see him, but then she sees Sebastian,
13:44
Speaker 1: She's like, wait, what's going on? And the way that
13:46
Speaker 1: they're they're acting with each other. They're acting like they're
13:48
Speaker 1: very buddy buddy, yeah, like Kate, like as if they're
13:53
Speaker 1: as if they're like best friends instead of like mortal enemies,
13:56
Speaker 1: like one didn't try killing the other a few months back.
14:01
Speaker 1: And the thing is is that they don't stay long.
14:05
Speaker 1: They eventually like sneak out of the library, and she does,
14:08
Speaker 1: and she keeps herself headed, and she later tells the
14:11
Speaker 1: others about what she saw. Uh. Later that very night though,
14:18
Speaker 1: and she wakes up. She she had fully moved in
14:20
Speaker 1: with her stepdad, Luke at alongside her mom, and she's
14:25
Speaker 1: in her room at Luke's house and when she woke
14:27
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night and she notices that, oh,
14:29
Speaker 1: Jace is right there. So even the thing is is
14:35
Speaker 1: that Jace really wants Clary to join him because he
14:40
Speaker 1: is traveling the world with Sebastian. He doesn't really tell
14:43
Speaker 1: her what they're doing, but you know, she's he's really
14:46
Speaker 1: trying to sell the whole light, you know, Oh, he's
14:50
Speaker 1: just really he's just a really good guy and misunderstood.
14:53
Speaker 1: You know, we're just you know, like trying to like
14:56
Speaker 1: really sell it. But he doesn't. She doesn't me go
15:00
Speaker 1: with him. And the thing is is that, well, Jason
15:04
Speaker 1: is there. Sebastian's also there, but he's waiting like outside
15:08
Speaker 1: the room. And the thing is is that since in
15:13
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, Jocelyn does wake up and
15:15
Speaker 1: she goes into the kitchen and she sees him there
15:17
Speaker 1: and she kind of freaks out. And the thing is
15:20
Speaker 1: is that Jocelyn, you know, she recognizes her son, and
15:25
Speaker 1: she is like she's had long since mourned the loss
15:30
Speaker 1: of her son. But the person she sees before him
15:33
Speaker 1: before her, she doesn't really consider him her son. Like
15:35
Speaker 1: she recognizes him and she does feel sorry because there
15:40
Speaker 1: was nothing she could have done to prevent him from
15:42
Speaker 1: becoming from being turned into what he is. So and
15:45
Speaker 1: to her, the like she still has that shadow hunter
15:48
Speaker 1: mindset where it's like kill the demon. And when she
15:53
Speaker 1: when he was a baby, there were a few times
15:55
Speaker 1: where she contemplated killing her killing Jonathan because she somehow
16:01
Speaker 1: could tell that something was off with Jonathan, like it's
16:04
Speaker 1: almost like he was born without a soul. And now
16:14
Speaker 1: and now like she feels like it's her duty to
16:17
Speaker 1: do to finish the job. So she immediately pulls out
16:19
Speaker 1: a knife and attacks Jonathan, and Jonathan disarms her. Luke
16:24
Speaker 1: here's the commotion comes out and the two fight for
16:27
Speaker 1: a bit and fight for a bit, but thinking Sebastian
16:33
Speaker 1: being part demon, he's also much stronger than a natural
16:37
Speaker 1: shadow hunter and he's a lot faster, so he was
16:39
Speaker 1: strong and fast enough to take on a werewolf like
16:43
Speaker 1: Luke because werewolves are pretty strong. But Sebastian was stronger
16:46
Speaker 1: and he overpowers Luke and stabs him. It's pretty it
16:50
Speaker 1: was a pretty uh it's a critical wound, but it's not.
16:54
Speaker 1: It doesn't kill Luke, so he's good. Jason Sebastian disappear
16:59
Speaker 1: from the Sebastian looked like he was ready to like
17:02
Speaker 1: kill everybody in the house, but Jay stepped in grasping
17:06
Speaker 1: and they just disappeared. And but before they disappeared, Jace
17:14
Speaker 1: tells Clariy that he's going to be back for her
17:17
Speaker 1: after this whole event, Jocelyn takes Looke to his pack
17:22
Speaker 1: so that they can for treatment and Jocelyn and while
17:25
Speaker 1: he's recovering, Jocelyn decides that the best way to protect
17:28
Speaker 1: themselves from Sebastian is to move themselves into place that's
17:31
Speaker 1: highly warded Jocelyn, she doesn't. Still, she still doesn't fully
17:35
Speaker 1: trust the the Clave, and since because of her role
17:41
Speaker 1: and since she was the former wife of Valentine, the
17:44
Speaker 1: Clave doesn't really fully accept her. So the only other
17:47
Speaker 1: place they can go to is to the High Warlock
17:51
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn, and that is Magna Spain. So mad disagrees
17:56
Speaker 1: to take them in. And the thing is is that
18:00
Speaker 1: Jocelyn does not really approve of Jass and Clari's relationship,
18:06
Speaker 1: and she tries to convince Claire that, you know, Jace
18:08
Speaker 1: isn't really a good choice of a partner, and because
18:12
Speaker 1: of his influence and his upbringing under Valentine, he might
18:15
Speaker 1: actually turn out to be just like him, you know,
18:17
Speaker 1: And that's her own fear and anxiety overcoming her. But
18:20
Speaker 1: like Clary is not having it. She's like, he's nothing
18:23
Speaker 1: like Valentine. And you know, it's that you know teenage
18:29
Speaker 1: love thing, you know, like, oh I love him, We're
18:32
Speaker 1: meant to be together. Yeah, yeah, I mean there's more,
18:39
Speaker 1: there's more nuance to it. But like, honestly, like when
18:42
Speaker 1: you read these kind of like since this this whole
18:45
Speaker 1: these stories are you know, young. The Moral Instruments is
18:47
Speaker 1: tailored for young adult readers. So it's teen romance kind of.
18:51
Speaker 1: It's the teen romance for me. And I'm like, you know,
18:55
Speaker 1: I read these books a lot when I was a teen,
18:58
Speaker 1: but now I'm older, I'm just I'm reading these and like,
19:03
Speaker 1: m it's not for me anymore. Yeah, there's still good
19:07
Speaker 1: books there. Really, there's still are good books. And the
19:10
Speaker 1: TV show that it was adapted into was actually not bad.
19:13
Speaker 1: I didn't I did not hate it. Put have been better,
19:16
Speaker 1: but I didn't hate it. And yeah, that's that's pretty
19:26
Speaker 1: much it. And you know, it's rare to see like
19:28
Speaker 1: a story written around the Christian mythology and Cassandra Clair
19:36
Speaker 1: not only through in like that, like those mythologies, but
19:40
Speaker 1: also throw in Celtic and Irish mythology, you know, with
19:44
Speaker 1: the Fay and there's a few other like cultural stuff
19:49
Speaker 1: that she threw is in there. But but notice way
19:50
Speaker 1: she blends Celtic with the Christian Judeo mythology with you know, angels, demons, heaven,
19:59
Speaker 1: Hell and in the Fay and the Fay a just
20:03
Speaker 1: half are just like half angel half demons. Yeah, not
20:08
Speaker 1: actual mephalone, but like you know, more neutral party. Going
20:19
Speaker 1: back to yeah, going back to the story. Uh Clarie.
20:27
Speaker 1: Uh Clarie storms out after her argument with her mom
20:30
Speaker 1: and meets and goes to meet up with Simon. And
20:33
Speaker 1: this is around the time that they figure out that
20:35
Speaker 1: the fairy rings allow them to communicate telepathically, so when
20:39
Speaker 1: one is wearing so when they're each warning it, they
20:41
Speaker 1: can both uh sense each other. They can both hear
20:43
Speaker 1: each other's thoughts. So she decides that she's gonna go.
20:47
Speaker 1: She's going to join Jays a bastion, but not as
20:50
Speaker 1: like a you know, like as a buddy, but as
20:53
Speaker 1: a spy. So she's gonna and she's gonna report back
20:56
Speaker 1: like her location and uh pretty much everything back to
20:59
Speaker 1: someone in the rings. So Jace eventually does come with her,
21:05
Speaker 1: and she comes to her and she agrees to go
21:08
Speaker 1: with him. And when she goes with them, she realizes
21:13
Speaker 1: that the reason why nobody has been able to find
21:15
Speaker 1: either of them is because they're using a special kind
21:19
Speaker 1: of house that it's like house moving castle, except it's
21:25
Speaker 1: not like a moving ca It's not like it's not
21:28
Speaker 1: like the actual like moving castle, but you know, like
21:31
Speaker 1: the castle itself, the interior the castle is linked to
21:35
Speaker 1: different doorways. It's like that, but the house itself kind
21:40
Speaker 1: of like sits in like limbo, so it's undetectable. But
21:46
Speaker 1: Sebastian's able to is able to shift its location anywhere
21:50
Speaker 1: in the world, so while they're in the house, they
21:53
Speaker 1: can they're undetectable. And where the house connects, like what
21:58
Speaker 1: part of the world the house connects itself too, they're
22:01
Speaker 1: able to get in and out they like they need
22:03
Speaker 1: to use like a special like artifact to get into
22:06
Speaker 1: the house. But still, this is this is why no
22:09
Speaker 1: one was able, This is why no one is able
22:14
Speaker 1: to track them down. And while she's and while she's
22:17
Speaker 1: staying with them, she realizes that Jase is acting very strangely.
22:21
Speaker 1: Is acting strangely and realize as soon that this is
22:24
Speaker 1: due to the fact that Lilith began popul to resurrect
22:32
Speaker 1: Sebastian in the previous book. She had marked Jas with
22:35
Speaker 1: a strange kind of demonic room. This room is like
22:38
Speaker 1: the demonic version of this of the angelic rooms that
22:41
Speaker 1: the shadow Hunters use, and this room allows Sebastian to
22:47
Speaker 1: essentially possess Jase, so while the room is intact on
22:53
Speaker 1: his skin, it completely puts Jase under Sebastian's control, and
23:00
Speaker 1: you know, this explains why Jase is acting so buddy
23:04
Speaker 1: buddy with Sebastian and why it seems like why it
23:10
Speaker 1: seems like he's willing to do evil shit so now,
23:17
Speaker 1: and she does report this back to Sebastian, who reports,
23:21
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not a Subastian. She reports her findings back
23:23
Speaker 1: to Simon, who tells the shadow Hunters. And now the
23:27
Speaker 1: shadow Hunters have to figure out a way to kill
23:29
Speaker 1: Sebastian without killing Jase, because the thing about the room
23:33
Speaker 1: is that it also binds them together, binds their life
23:35
Speaker 1: force together, So if Sebastian dies, Jace dies, So they
23:40
Speaker 1: have to figure out a way to separate the two.
23:45
Speaker 1: But the thing about the Claid is that they're pretty
23:49
Speaker 1: single minded and simplistic, and for them, like the best
23:53
Speaker 1: thing to do is just like.
23:54
Speaker 2: Oh, just kill them both, not kill them at both.
24:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. She eventually learns about this, and like Claria does
24:04
Speaker 1: learn about this, and she's like now even more desperate
24:06
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to separate separate Sebastian from
24:10
Speaker 1: Jays And and that way the Claive can go ahead
24:14
Speaker 1: and just kill Sebastian. But she has to bide her
24:17
Speaker 1: time and she just keeps on keeping on. And as
24:21
Speaker 1: they travel the world, going back, going back to the Hunters.
24:29
Speaker 1: Once they realized that once Clary had alerted the shadow
24:32
Speaker 1: Hunters of what the Rone is doing, Isabelle Lightwood and
24:37
Speaker 1: Clarie's mother, Johncelyn, decide to take a trip to the
24:40
Speaker 1: stronghold of the Iron Sisters. Now the Iron Sisters, they
24:45
Speaker 1: are the counterparts to the Silent Brothers. So I think
24:50
Speaker 1: the Silent Brothers are like the They're like more God,
24:55
Speaker 1: what do you like, what's the what's the general term
24:57
Speaker 1: for like monks and abbots, Like, they're like they're like
25:02
Speaker 1: the scholars of the They're kind of like the scholarly
25:05
Speaker 1: guild and within the shadow Hunter society. Think about the
25:10
Speaker 1: think about the Silent Brothers is that they they not
25:12
Speaker 1: only like they uphold the traditions and the law, and
25:16
Speaker 1: they also act as like the healers for the for
25:19
Speaker 1: the greater shadow Hunters, and they perform like all these
25:22
Speaker 1: different kinds of shadow Hunter rituals and stuff. What separates
25:25
Speaker 1: them from normal shadow Hunters is that they take on
25:28
Speaker 1: they mark themselves with some of the most powerful room
25:32
Speaker 1: excuse me, runs within that is found within the Great
25:35
Speaker 1: Book which has all of the rooms the shadow hunters
25:38
Speaker 1: know of. And the thing about these RUMs is that
25:41
Speaker 1: they're so powerful that even normal shadow hunters can't exactly
25:46
Speaker 1: handle them as easily as just like the everyday run
25:50
Speaker 1: of the mill of runs. So when they take these,
25:53
Speaker 1: when they mark themselves with these runs, it does cause
25:56
Speaker 1: their body to be to become deformed. So like the
25:59
Speaker 1: most extreme deformity that they get is like their eyes
26:04
Speaker 1: basically disappear from their eye sockets, leaving just these like
26:08
Speaker 1: indentions where their eyes should be. And whether I think
26:12
Speaker 1: this is just this must be more of a ritualistic practice.
26:15
Speaker 1: But the Silent Brothers stitch their lips closed so they
26:19
Speaker 1: don't yeah, so, and they all wear the same kind
26:24
Speaker 1: of like like light brown like robes, and in some case,
26:29
Speaker 1: like a lot these robes are kind of unsettling to
26:31
Speaker 1: a lot of people because you know, they don't make
26:35
Speaker 1: a sound. That's pretty much why like they're called the
26:37
Speaker 1: Silent Brothers because when they move, they don't make any
26:40
Speaker 1: sound whatsoever. And the only way they yeah, the only
26:43
Speaker 1: way the shadow the Silent Brothers speak is telepathically, and
26:50
Speaker 1: uh so they're very unsettling even to normal shadow Hunters,
26:53
Speaker 1: but they often they oftentimes they don't take any part
26:56
Speaker 1: in like you know, the shot and the hunting or
27:00
Speaker 1: you know, or any kind of account of Marshall. At
27:05
Speaker 1: these they're the scholars, they're the historians, they're the like
27:10
Speaker 1: they play the role that like monks would play. So
27:14
Speaker 1: you know, like back then monks and monasteries they would
27:17
Speaker 1: have like they would have large repository of like books
27:21
Speaker 1: and knowledge, and you know, of course they would like
27:24
Speaker 1: they were the ones that would were very educated in
27:27
Speaker 1: reading and writing and things like that. It's very similar
27:30
Speaker 1: to that now. The Iron Sisters are their counterparts. But
27:37
Speaker 1: unlike the Silent Brothers who take on these powerful ruins
27:41
Speaker 1: and like and like maintain the history and traditions of
27:44
Speaker 1: the of shadow Hunter Society, the Iron Sisters they are
27:49
Speaker 1: the articipers of the shadow Hunter Society. They're the forge masters,
27:54
Speaker 1: they are the blacksmiths. They're the ones that build all
27:57
Speaker 1: of the weapons for shadow Hunters. So thing about shadow
28:01
Speaker 1: Hunters is that they can't use modern weaponry because for
28:05
Speaker 1: some reason, runs uh runs basically render any kind of
28:13
Speaker 1: modern weapon inert. So like they don't work well with
28:16
Speaker 1: electronic devices. And like shadow Hunters were never able to eat,
28:22
Speaker 1: we're able never able to move up to like using
28:24
Speaker 1: guns because for some reason, if they tried marking their
28:28
Speaker 1: bullets or their weapons with their rooms, the for some
28:33
Speaker 1: reason the Runes renders the gunpowder inert, making it impossible
28:40
Speaker 1: for them to use these guns, because you know, gunpowder
28:42
Speaker 1: is how they is, how a project a bullet is
28:46
Speaker 1: you know, violently flung like shot out of the guns.
28:50
Speaker 1: So like, for some reason render these weapons inert, so
28:55
Speaker 1: they have to rely on crude old like the olden
28:58
Speaker 1: weapons like bows as spears, swords. You know, they get
29:02
Speaker 1: creative and the ones who make it are the Iron Sisters.
29:06
Speaker 1: So so Jocelyn and Isabel decide to visit the Iron
29:09
Speaker 1: Sisters because they might know of something that could kill
29:14
Speaker 1: Sebastian without killing jasonthing that may help them sever the
29:19
Speaker 1: link between the two of them. And when they meet
29:24
Speaker 1: the Iron Sisters, the Iron Sisters unlike the Silent Brothers. Yeah,
29:28
Speaker 1: they do possess like some minor deformities because of the
29:33
Speaker 1: rooms that they mark themselves with, but these rooms are
29:36
Speaker 1: more meant to like enhance their abilities to shape materials
29:41
Speaker 1: into weapons and other and pretty much any other like
29:45
Speaker 1: like pretty much anything else that the shadow Hunters might need,
29:48
Speaker 1: like building materials and things like that. So the Iron
29:52
Speaker 1: Sisters they look more or less human like, more or
29:57
Speaker 1: less like normal humans. They have like of course, like
30:00
Speaker 1: the ritualistic markings on their faces. They all wear like
30:04
Speaker 1: this kind of like same like white schmocks kind of
30:08
Speaker 1: like blacksmith clothing, but it's all white. And and I'm
30:16
Speaker 1: sure to remember what the iers like. They all have
30:18
Speaker 1: somelar like grayish tone to their skin. And the most like,
30:25
Speaker 1: the most obvious deformity they have is that their fingers
30:31
Speaker 1: are slightly more elongated. So they have these very like
30:36
Speaker 1: long like more or less like long thin like fingers.
30:41
Speaker 1: And honestly, like I believe that like this is a
30:45
Speaker 1: this is a meat like a transformation, the deliberate transformation
30:48
Speaker 1: to make it more easier for them to mold weapons
30:52
Speaker 1: and like you know, be able to like handle like
30:55
Speaker 1: the finer details of weaponsmithing and other kinds of forging,
31:01
Speaker 1: you know, And because like they're they're they're type of
31:03
Speaker 1: the type of work they do is more than just
31:05
Speaker 1: like oh like hammer, anvil, you know, kilns and uh,
31:11
Speaker 1: you know the forge itself, right, they use they use
31:15
Speaker 1: runs to help them in their process. So it's a
31:18
Speaker 1: lot more intricate and delicate process. Now, the Silent the
31:23
Speaker 1: Iron Sisters, I keep wanting to call them Silent Sisters,
31:27
Speaker 1: the Iron Sisters. Yeah, the Iron Sisters. Once they once
31:33
Speaker 1: they once they head to the Iron Sisters stronghold. They
31:37
Speaker 1: the Iron Sisters revealed to Jocelyn and Isabelle that on
31:42
Speaker 1: that the only way that they can kill kill Sebastian
31:46
Speaker 1: without killing Jase is to use a heavenly weapon. Now,
31:53
Speaker 1: the different the reason the heavenly weapon is different from
31:57
Speaker 1: the angel weapons that the shadow Hunters use because the
32:01
Speaker 1: shadow Hunters do use a special material called atomis and
32:05
Speaker 1: they shape them into blades they call Seraph blades. And
32:08
Speaker 1: the cool thing about Sarah blades is that they look
32:10
Speaker 1: like they look almost like a diamond like it's made
32:12
Speaker 1: of like an opay. The metal is like an opaque
32:15
Speaker 1: crystal like material, right. And the thing about these weapons
32:19
Speaker 1: is that if a shadow Hunter uses a Seraph blade,
32:23
Speaker 1: they can speak the name of an angel and that
32:27
Speaker 1: angel's essence basically gets some in someon into the blade
32:31
Speaker 1: and the blade begins to glow that further charge that
32:34
Speaker 1: further enhances the blades's power and demon killing properties, so
32:38
Speaker 1: like Atomis, swords are Sarah blades are often used when
32:42
Speaker 1: fighting when fighting demons, while regular more conventional weapons are
32:45
Speaker 1: often used for like other monsters like where, wolves, vampires, fae.
32:51
Speaker 1: You know Isabelle herself. Her preferred weapon is an electron
32:55
Speaker 1: is an electron wire whip, which electron is also very
32:59
Speaker 1: useful against demons. Alec uses a bow and arrow, so
33:05
Speaker 1: he's pretty he's a pretty well accomplished nurcher. Clarie, as
33:10
Speaker 1: she gets further along in her training, she actually chooses
33:13
Speaker 1: a pair of daggers to use and like as her
33:15
Speaker 1: standard weapon. Though the funny thing is she doesn't realize
33:18
Speaker 1: this until later, but someone tells her that those that
33:21
Speaker 1: the two daggers she chose once belonged to her parents,
33:25
Speaker 1: so like one belonged to Valentine and the other one
33:28
Speaker 1: belonged to the other one belonged to her mother, Jocelyn.
33:34
Speaker 1: So she was like, okay, cool, not entirely happily about that,
33:43
Speaker 1: but she also in Clarire's travel, she also gets a
33:47
Speaker 1: hold of a short sword and it turns out it's
33:50
Speaker 1: it's a Morganstern family heirloom. Ah Sebastian actually carries its counterpart,
33:58
Speaker 1: so like there's a short sword and then there was
33:59
Speaker 1: a like an actual broadsword. They have the markings of
34:02
Speaker 1: the Morgenstern family, which is like a star, which is
34:07
Speaker 1: like a series of stars, and so like, oh cool,
34:10
Speaker 1: we both have family heirlooms. Woo. But the thing is
34:16
Speaker 1: is that a heavenly weapon is something that the angels
34:19
Speaker 1: themselves use, like weapons of heaven that came from heaven.
34:24
Speaker 1: So after learning about this, they convene at they convene
34:30
Speaker 1: in Magnus's house and they start brainstorming ideas of how
34:34
Speaker 1: they can get their hands on one, and they realize
34:36
Speaker 1: the only way they can get a heavenly weapon is
34:40
Speaker 1: to get it from Heaven itself, and the only way
34:42
Speaker 1: to do that is to get it to ask an
34:44
Speaker 1: angel for one, well, the one angel they can really ask,
34:49
Speaker 1: and that's an angel that's helped shadow hunters in the
34:51
Speaker 1: past before, an arch angel Razial. They get the brilliant
34:59
Speaker 1: idea to summon Rezeal again. Oh god, yep. Now the
35:06
Speaker 1: thing is is that uh not to like not to
35:11
Speaker 1: like play into the Lord of the Rings mean, but
35:14
Speaker 1: one does not simply summon an angel yeah, because here's
35:19
Speaker 1: the thing. Angels are not like demons. Okay, demons they well,
35:24
Speaker 1: they may not be thrilled to be summoned by humans.
35:26
Speaker 1: They often look forward to humans summing them because this
35:29
Speaker 1: is a way for demons to like get access to
35:31
Speaker 1: our world and cause and just function up. Angels are different.
35:36
Speaker 1: Thing about angels is that they don't want to be
35:38
Speaker 1: on They don't want to be on a plane of
35:39
Speaker 1: existence like they will they do their duty to protect
35:43
Speaker 1: them all, to protect reality, keep the demonic hosts at Bay, right,
35:48
Speaker 1: the majority of the demonic hosts of Bay. They do
35:50
Speaker 1: their duty, right, but they do it within their realms
35:52
Speaker 1: of existence, right when they answer our plane of existence
35:56
Speaker 1: thing about things, Even like angels, they can't stay in
35:59
Speaker 1: our in our place of existence for very long. It's
36:01
Speaker 1: actually painful for them, right, because they don't belong here.
36:05
Speaker 1: I'm like demons who relished in like taking over and
36:07
Speaker 1: like corrupting other realities. Angels don't like that all right,
36:12
Speaker 1: So they they limit their time on Earth very much.
36:14
Speaker 1: That's why you rarely see them. So if you summon
36:18
Speaker 1: an angel, it's more than likely going to kill you
36:23
Speaker 1: just to suit like. So in some cases, if you
36:26
Speaker 1: if you try to summon a more powerful angel and
36:28
Speaker 1: the and that angel sent like realizes that you're about
36:31
Speaker 1: to summon it, it might strike you down before you
36:33
Speaker 1: can complete the summoning. That's how much angels don't like
36:40
Speaker 1: being fucked with. You don't You don't just simply summon
36:43
Speaker 1: an angel. And in Razil's case, Raziel is definitely not
36:49
Speaker 1: going to be happy because for one thing, he is
36:51
Speaker 1: a high ranking angel of Heaven. He's not going to
36:53
Speaker 1: be You don't just call him up like you know.
36:56
Speaker 1: He he this pool is busy, like he's got a
36:58
Speaker 1: schedule to keep right. But the thing is is that
37:02
Speaker 1: they realized they really need a weapon of heaven, and
37:06
Speaker 1: Razeil seems to be the only one that would be
37:09
Speaker 1: able to give them this weapon. And when they decide
37:14
Speaker 1: to figure when they when they finalize their plan, they
37:16
Speaker 1: decide that Simon is the best person to complete the summoning,
37:21
Speaker 1: like Magnus will bring the components together, he'll put he
37:24
Speaker 1: will get the He'll basically start the summoning, but Simon
37:29
Speaker 1: has to finish it because once Simon, someone said technically,
37:34
Speaker 1: Razil would be compelled to answer to Simon and not
37:39
Speaker 1: to Magnus. And since Simon has the mark of Kine
37:44
Speaker 1: on his forehead, still, if Rozil tried to kill him,
37:48
Speaker 1: he would be risking, Uh, he would be risking like
37:53
Speaker 1: a terrible reprisal and like like seven times over. So
37:59
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna basically, if he does that, we're
38:01
Speaker 1: gonna see a re enactment of the death of Lilith,
38:06
Speaker 1: except way worse because Razil is way more powerful than Lolith. Yeah,
38:13
Speaker 1: so Luke volunteers his lake cabin, his lakeside cabin. It's
38:19
Speaker 1: it's in a remote area. There's a bit, there's a
38:21
Speaker 1: large body of water, which is a big component that
38:23
Speaker 1: they need to summon the angel. And you know it's remote,
38:28
Speaker 1: so nobody's gonna be able to notice, you know, this big,
38:30
Speaker 1: this giant ass angel being summoned to Earth. Because the
38:33
Speaker 1: thing about angels is that the more powerful they are,
38:36
Speaker 1: the bigger they appear. So if you summon them into
38:39
Speaker 1: our reality, a minor angel like Ethereal would be like
38:42
Speaker 1: more or less human sized. Right, and then you got Razeal,
38:46
Speaker 1: who's like about sixty feet tall. Because if you if
38:50
Speaker 1: you read the like if you go back to book three,
38:52
Speaker 1: and Razial had been summoned. He was massive, like it
38:57
Speaker 1: said that his Yeah, Like if I like, if you
39:01
Speaker 1: remember when he's when he was summoned and he rows
39:04
Speaker 1: out of the lake, it was huge. He was huge
39:08
Speaker 1: because his wings when he spread his wings out, the
39:10
Speaker 1: wingtips like spread to either side of them of the lake.
39:14
Speaker 1: So he had a massive wingspan. So they take Simon
39:21
Speaker 1: to the lake side and they begin the ritue. Magnus
39:25
Speaker 1: begins and then once he had the summoning circle prepared,
39:28
Speaker 1: the body of water was right there and everything else
39:30
Speaker 1: was needed. He gives Simon his grimoire points to the
39:35
Speaker 1: the incantation. Simon needs to complete and do his thing.
39:40
Speaker 1: So as soon as he does that, he's like, it's
39:42
Speaker 1: kind of like one of those situations like all right, kid,
39:44
Speaker 1: you know, here's what you gotta do. So you may die,
39:46
Speaker 1: but that's a risk. We're well in stake. Here you go.
39:49
Speaker 1: You got, pats him on the back, pats him on
39:50
Speaker 1: the shoulder, and runs off like they can't be near
39:54
Speaker 1: the lake when he summons rezealed, so everybody had to
39:56
Speaker 1: like go hide in uh Luke's cabin while the angels present. Yeah,
40:03
Speaker 1: so Simon goes through with the ritual, and there's an explosion.
40:09
Speaker 1: There's a violent explosion in the center of the lake,
40:12
Speaker 1: as if something massive just dropped out of the sky
40:14
Speaker 1: and landed in the lake. And oh, what do you know,
40:18
Speaker 1: a massive ass angel appeared and of course we hit
40:23
Speaker 1: here we have Razil. Razil is described as like, you know, unearthly,
40:28
Speaker 1: like very like. He's a terrifying looking being, like he
40:32
Speaker 1: looks human like. He looks like the traditional visualization of angels,
40:39
Speaker 1: like a human, like a very human with like unearthly
40:42
Speaker 1: beauty and you know wings though in Razil's case, his
40:47
Speaker 1: wings are are composed of golden feathers and they have
40:50
Speaker 1: living eyes at the tip of the of the feathers.
40:53
Speaker 1: So like the eyes like they're like they're not just
40:55
Speaker 1: eye patterns like you know, like where peacock would have
40:58
Speaker 1: no like they look they look like and I and
41:01
Speaker 1: they actually blink.
41:03
Speaker 2: That's creepy.
41:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, angels are terrifying, yes, the air they are. Uh.
41:10
Speaker 1: Razil kind of appeared in the you know, the terminator
41:14
Speaker 1: like time travel stance, you know, the whole liked Dunna done.
41:19
Speaker 1: He rises up stands at his full height, towering over Simon.
41:24
Speaker 1: He looks down at Simon and is like he's like, so,
41:29
Speaker 1: who was dumb enough to so who was dumb enough
41:31
Speaker 1: to summon me here? And Simon just like, you know,
41:36
Speaker 1: smaller like me.
41:38
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I did.
41:40
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that was me. And he's like, oh cool,
41:43
Speaker 1: now I know who I need to kill. And and
41:46
Speaker 1: Razil like points at Simon like he's about to like
41:48
Speaker 1: blast amount of existence. But the thing is, Simon remembers, wait,
41:52
Speaker 1: I gotta like he reaches up and he like moves
41:55
Speaker 1: his hair out of his like off his forehead, revealing
41:57
Speaker 1: the mark of Cain. And Razil just stopped you, like,
42:01
Speaker 1: where'd you get that? Son? Where did you get that?
42:06
Speaker 2: Where'd you get that? Where did where that come from?
42:09
Speaker 1: What? Hold On like, I'm sorry you should not have that?
42:13
Speaker 1: And Simon explains, what's going on? Was it nothing?
42:19
Speaker 2: Continue?
42:20
Speaker 1: Okay? So Simon explains to Razeal that the reason why
42:29
Speaker 1: he summoned He tells him like, well, my friend Clary
42:33
Speaker 1: put the mark of Knees protect me during the shadow
42:35
Speaker 1: Hunter War and it's been with me ever since. Uh.
42:40
Speaker 1: The reason why we and the reason why we summoned
42:42
Speaker 1: you here is because well, our friend's in trouble. He's
42:46
Speaker 1: he's possessed by a demon, and we need to figure
42:47
Speaker 1: and we need something that can separate him from this demon,
42:50
Speaker 1: and the only thing that can is a heavenly weapon.
42:53
Speaker 1: And Razil is like, uh huh, and why should I
42:58
Speaker 1: give you this? Like you I'm like just just arms crossed,
43:02
Speaker 1: you know, like full on angel sass. I mean, I'm
43:05
Speaker 1: portraying Grazial like as a very very sassy individual, but
43:09
Speaker 1: he's not. He's more he's definitely like, you know, terrifying
43:12
Speaker 1: archangel that's that will literally site you. But you know, still,
43:18
Speaker 1: like this is the gist of it. It's like, okay,
43:20
Speaker 1: and why should I help you? And Simon's like, well,
43:23
Speaker 1: you're an angel, You're a mortal. I'm a vampire and
43:26
Speaker 1: a day walker who's also immortal, so I can literally
43:29
Speaker 1: hold you here for the rest of eternity.
43:32
Speaker 4: Oh angels Like the Angel's like, okay, fine, I will
43:43
Speaker 4: give you a bitch.
43:46
Speaker 1: I will give you a weapon, a heavenly weapon, but
43:51
Speaker 1: but it comes at a price beyond just letting me go.
43:56
Speaker 1: And Simon's like, okay, what's the price. The price is
43:59
Speaker 1: is that I take that mark from you? Who so yeah,
44:04
Speaker 1: so think about the mark of Kane. Is that the
44:06
Speaker 1: mark of Kane is a curse. It's not a blessing.
44:08
Speaker 1: It's not like an involvement makes It does not make
44:10
Speaker 1: you invulnerable. Okay, it is a curse because think of
44:15
Speaker 1: it this way. You got if you've seen for those
44:17
Speaker 1: of you, for fans who have seen fairy Tale, the
44:20
Speaker 1: anime uh, the big bad evil guy Zarath was cursed
44:25
Speaker 1: with a had a curse called the curse of contradiction
44:28
Speaker 1: or the curse of Anstilam. This curse basically made it
44:31
Speaker 1: to where everybody he loves and cares about will die
44:34
Speaker 1: if he's nearby. So the more he cares about something,
44:37
Speaker 1: the more the curse kills them, like it literally sucks
44:42
Speaker 1: the life out of him, and it also renders him immortal.
44:47
Speaker 1: So while Zarah can't die, people around him will die
44:50
Speaker 1: if he shows just a little bit of love and
44:53
Speaker 1: affection right like he truly cares, like as if he
44:56
Speaker 1: truly cares about him about them. And then the mark
44:59
Speaker 1: of is a lot different from that, but this, the
45:02
Speaker 1: principle is still there, all right. The mark a king
45:06
Speaker 1: will basically lash out against anybody that attempts to purtin
45:10
Speaker 1: and it's and it's very indiscriminate. So it doesn't have
45:13
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, like someone is attacking him with
45:18
Speaker 1: ill intent, like with malicious intent. It could be like
45:21
Speaker 1: you could just like lightly punch some playfully punch him
45:24
Speaker 1: on the shoulder, and suddenly you get hit in the
45:27
Speaker 1: same you feel like as if you got hit with
45:30
Speaker 1: like like you just do a light tap on his
45:33
Speaker 1: shoulder playfully, and suddenly you get punched full force on
45:37
Speaker 1: your shoulder.
45:38
Speaker 2: Jesus.
45:39
Speaker 1: So the Mark of King basically the thing about the
45:42
Speaker 1: Mark of Kine, it was designed to punish the first
45:46
Speaker 1: murder Kane, right, yeah, and it and it turned Caine
45:52
Speaker 1: into a wanderer. So he wandered the earth for the
45:55
Speaker 1: rest of his life. He could never settle down in
45:57
Speaker 1: one place. You could never like let himself like become
46:01
Speaker 1: part of society because well the mark basically made it
46:05
Speaker 1: to where he's unkillable and it punishes those around him,
46:09
Speaker 1: but it also marked him as an outsider. So that's
46:12
Speaker 1: the fate that would await Simon. So Simon was at
46:15
Speaker 1: first of a life apprehensive, but then he thought about
46:17
Speaker 1: it and it was like, eh, I can live without it.
46:21
Speaker 1: So Razil is like cool, and Razil summons up a sword.
46:27
Speaker 1: Now this sword is actually the sword that he summons
46:29
Speaker 1: is actually a sword used by Michael the Archangel. He
46:33
Speaker 1: said that in human language its name is unpronounceable, but
46:37
Speaker 1: he said, you can call it glorious though. The funny
46:40
Speaker 1: thing is about the sword Glorious is that when it
46:43
Speaker 1: appears before Simon, it looks like a rusted, beat up sword,
46:51
Speaker 1: the blatest chipped, the blatest chipped and rusted. It looks
46:55
Speaker 1: ancient too, but it's still solid, and it's still solid
47:00
Speaker 1: and sturdy. So and Razil warns him that this blade
47:07
Speaker 1: contains the fire of heaven, heavenly fire, so once he
47:12
Speaker 1: uses it, the fire will destroy the blade. The fire
47:15
Speaker 1: will be released and it will destroy anything that is evil.
47:20
Speaker 1: So basically, the thing about holy fire is that it
47:23
Speaker 1: only burns evil. Anything that's evil, so like demons will
47:31
Speaker 1: burn and just be completely wiped out from existence. But
47:35
Speaker 1: if it hits a normal, normal person, the fire will
47:39
Speaker 1: burn any like anything malignant out of them, but like
47:44
Speaker 1: if they are more or less a good person, it
47:47
Speaker 1: won't really affect them. So it's perfect. It's the perfect
47:51
Speaker 1: thing because this the blade will want. The blade impregnated
47:54
Speaker 1: with holy fire will only kill that which is evil,
47:59
Speaker 1: so it'll definitely kill Sebastian, but it will not kill
48:03
Speaker 1: but it will not kill Jase, and more than likely
48:06
Speaker 1: it'll but it'll definitely it will definitely sever the link
48:10
Speaker 1: between them. Cool, they got their weapon and now they
48:15
Speaker 1: just got to wait for the chance to use it.
48:19
Speaker 1: Going back to Clary and Sebastian and Jace, she continues
48:23
Speaker 1: to spy and live and live with the two of them.
48:27
Speaker 1: At one point, uh so, at one point during their travels,
48:32
Speaker 1: Sebastian sent Jas out to do some dirty to do
48:35
Speaker 1: some dirty work. Sebastian had gone to had gone to
48:40
Speaker 1: Italy to acquire some raw atomus from a from a
48:47
Speaker 1: particular kind of demon that likes to horde precious things.
48:51
Speaker 1: And Clarry doesn't know what doesn't know what this raw
48:55
Speaker 1: atamus is going to be used for. But still later
48:58
Speaker 1: on though Sebastian sent Jas had sent just to kill
49:03
Speaker 1: the demon because they don't want to leave, like they
49:06
Speaker 1: don't want to leave a trail. But when Jace attempts
49:09
Speaker 1: to kill the demon, the demon lashed out and damaged
49:13
Speaker 1: the room that was on his chest that bound into Sebastian.
49:18
Speaker 1: And the thing is because the room was damaged, it
49:21
Speaker 1: broke his control. It broke Sebastian's control over Jase, and
49:25
Speaker 1: temporarily he breaks free and he comes back, and while
49:30
Speaker 1: Sebastian is sleeping in his room, Jace goes to Clary
49:34
Speaker 1: and tells her what Sebastian is planning. Sebastian is going
49:38
Speaker 1: to try to use Lilis Blood in a copy of
49:42
Speaker 1: the Mortal Cup to create an army of evil shadow Hunters.
49:48
Speaker 1: Oh dear, So just like Brazil gave the Mortal Cup
49:55
Speaker 1: to Jonathan shadow Hunter a thousand years ago to create
49:57
Speaker 1: an army of shadow Hunters, Sebastian is planning to do
50:02
Speaker 1: the same thing, but instead of angel blood, they're gonna
50:07
Speaker 1: use greater demon blood.
50:10
Speaker 2: Oh dear, oh dear.
50:12
Speaker 1: Indeed, Jay, the thing is since he's still since he's
50:17
Speaker 1: still temporarily freed from Sebastian's control, he tells Claire he
50:23
Speaker 1: plans to turn himself into the Clave, and he said,
50:27
Speaker 1: like he's kept kind of an idiot because he's like,
50:31
Speaker 1: they're definitely gonna kill me. But you know what if
50:33
Speaker 1: this keeps If this keeps Sebastian from building an army
50:39
Speaker 1: of evil of dark shadow Hunters, so be it. But
50:45
Speaker 1: before he can leave, Claire kind of flips out and
50:48
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, hell no, and she does something that
50:50
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, girl, his dick ain't that good, but
50:58
Speaker 1: still damn like, girl, you could do better, but still
51:04
Speaker 1: she doesn't. She decides to stop Jace from leaving to
51:10
Speaker 1: basically let himself be killed by the Clave. So she
51:13
Speaker 1: starts calling out to Sebastian shows and she basically snitches
51:20
Speaker 1: on Jase. She snitches on him. She's like, she's like, Sabastian,
51:25
Speaker 1: his room is David, He's free from your control. Sbastian
51:28
Speaker 1: shows up, grabs Jace, traces a healing room on him,
51:32
Speaker 1: and when his skin patches up, it fixes the room
51:36
Speaker 1: and puts him back under und Sebastian's control. And Ja's like,
51:40
Speaker 1: had this moment of word. She like, there was this
51:43
Speaker 1: moment of just pure shock. It's just like, ain't that
51:47
Speaker 1: had a bitch? Like He's not Later on, he like
51:52
Speaker 1: he's not actually mad about He's not mad at Clary,
51:55
Speaker 1: but it's just one of those moments where it's just like.
51:57
Speaker 2: You bitch, Like, ah, you bitch, you bitch.
52:05
Speaker 1: You now that the thing is because Clary did that,
52:10
Speaker 1: she somehow managed to earn enough of Sebastian's trust for
52:14
Speaker 1: him to tell her more of his plan, and he
52:16
Speaker 1: tells her that they're going to be going to a
52:18
Speaker 1: gathering place called the Seventh Gap, the Seventh Sacred Site,
52:23
Speaker 1: and they're planning on meeting a number of shadow hunters
52:27
Speaker 1: that were that were sympathetic, that were once sympathetic to Valentine,
52:31
Speaker 1: and they're hoping and this is this is basically going
52:34
Speaker 1: to be the test trun like where they're going to
52:36
Speaker 1: where they're gonna start for their army of Dark shadow Hunters.
52:40
Speaker 1: And the thing is is that at some point Sebastian
52:45
Speaker 1: had taken the fay Ring from the from from Clary,
52:51
Speaker 1: and Clary had snuck manages to sneak back into his
52:55
Speaker 1: room to get it, and she tells Simon, and she
52:58
Speaker 1: quickly communicates with Simon and that you need to get
53:01
Speaker 1: to you need to get the shadow hunters to the
53:03
Speaker 1: place called the Seventh Sacred Site because apparently it is
53:06
Speaker 1: also a it's known to shadow hunters, so they'll know
53:10
Speaker 1: where it is and they'll come. But before she can
53:13
Speaker 1: fully like, uh, tell Simon like everything that Sebastian is planning,
53:18
Speaker 1: Sebastian catches her and she's forced to smash the ring
53:27
Speaker 1: of the ring. The thing is is that the Sealy Queen,
53:33
Speaker 1: she's actually rooting for Sebastian, and she deliberately played Clary
53:43
Speaker 1: and Simon, and she had guessed that Clary would keep
53:46
Speaker 1: the fairy rings, so she was actually The thing about
53:50
Speaker 1: the Sealy Queen is that she can listen in onto
53:52
Speaker 1: their conversations through the rings, so she knew everything that
53:57
Speaker 1: they that Clary was telling Simon, and she would tell
54:00
Speaker 1: Sebastian when she was what he what they were doing.
54:03
Speaker 2: Of course, so.
54:08
Speaker 1: She was the one that told sebastitionin that the two
54:12
Speaker 1: have a telebathic connection. The thing is, Sebastian, this is
54:16
Speaker 1: where like you know, she got she gained to Strauss
54:19
Speaker 1: and then immediately fucked it up and they end up
54:21
Speaker 1: getting into a small fight. And I'm gonna skip over
54:25
Speaker 1: this little detailed, but this is where like sebbat like, oh,
54:29
Speaker 1: Sebastian's has scumback because he attempts to yeah mm hmm mmm.
54:37
Speaker 1: But the thing is is that, yeah, they fight. He
54:42
Speaker 1: subdues her and he forced her to uh. He basically
54:48
Speaker 1: confines her and forces her to get all dressed up
54:51
Speaker 1: for the ritual that's about to happen, and he takes her.
54:55
Speaker 1: He seeks her and Jason to the seventh Sacred Site,
54:59
Speaker 1: and it's there that Sebastian reveals his version of the
55:03
Speaker 1: Mortal Cup, which is what he had used. This is
55:07
Speaker 1: what he had used the atom is for, because after
55:11
Speaker 1: they retrieved the raw atomis from the demon, they had
55:19
Speaker 1: found a rogues, a rogue iron sister who had agreed
55:24
Speaker 1: to shape the atomis into a into another mortal cup.
55:31
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Ok.
55:34
Speaker 1: So Sebastian begins a ritual. And the thing is is
55:39
Speaker 1: that because I think that this is that greater demons,
55:42
Speaker 1: they're not like the lesser demons. So lesser greater demons
55:48
Speaker 1: they technically exist in the void between realities. So while
55:54
Speaker 1: they're the lesser demons tend to manifest themselves on physical
55:58
Speaker 1: planes and then project the and then project their essence
56:02
Speaker 1: into other planes to invade it. If you kill all
56:05
Speaker 1: the demon like the demons that appear in our plane
56:07
Speaker 1: of existence, their essence just basically scatters and goes back
56:11
Speaker 1: to the plane of existence they came from. So most
56:13
Speaker 1: of the demons that come to Earth came from another
56:15
Speaker 1: reality called Eden. And it's like Gehenna or it's like
56:21
Speaker 1: Gehenna or Hell or version of it. But there's like
56:24
Speaker 1: plenty of realities that demons control, and so you're not
56:30
Speaker 1: technically killing them, you're just sending them back to their reality.
56:33
Speaker 1: But greater Hymens are truly immortal. They cannot be killed.
56:38
Speaker 1: The only thing you can do is scatter their essence
56:40
Speaker 1: so to a point where it's so thin that it's
56:43
Speaker 1: gonna take an exorbitant long time for them to to
56:49
Speaker 1: to reform themselves. And well, since Lilith was literally smote
56:53
Speaker 1: with heavenly fire because of the mark, because of the
56:57
Speaker 1: Mark of Kin, her essence was so thoroughly scattered that
57:00
Speaker 1: it's going to take a long time before she reforms herself.
57:03
Speaker 1: So what Sebastian does is he performs a ritual that
57:07
Speaker 1: causes like a portion of her essence to rec to
57:13
Speaker 1: re form itself into her, but it's not all of
57:17
Speaker 1: hers when she when Lilith appears, she's she appears as
57:21
Speaker 1: this nude figure, but she's like she kind of looks
57:24
Speaker 1: like cracked, like cracked earth, like dried up just cracks
57:28
Speaker 1: running through her body, and it almost looks like there's
57:30
Speaker 1: like lava running underneath her running between the cracks, so
57:35
Speaker 1: she's not like she it's clear that she's not fully
57:38
Speaker 1: put back together, but it was enough. The ritual was
57:41
Speaker 1: enough to pull enough of her together for the purpose
57:43
Speaker 1: that he does that he wanted, and Lilith, you know,
57:48
Speaker 1: fully complacent with his plan, immediately cuts her wrists and
57:53
Speaker 1: pours her black blood into the cup. So as her
57:56
Speaker 1: blood makes contact with the cup, the cup changes. So
58:00
Speaker 1: before it looked like regular pure atomis, but then it
58:03
Speaker 1: turns onto like this darker gray, like more corrupted version
58:08
Speaker 1: of a mortal cup. The thing about this kind of
58:11
Speaker 1: these kind of cups is that they will never run
58:17
Speaker 1: out of the blood. So even now, the mortal cup
58:20
Speaker 1: still has the blood of Reseal in it, and it's
58:23
Speaker 1: the same with this mortal It's going to be the
58:25
Speaker 1: same with this dark moratl cup no matter how many
58:28
Speaker 1: people drink from it, It's never gonna run out of
58:30
Speaker 1: her blood. So it's at this point after they got
58:36
Speaker 1: the blood, after Sebastian gets the blood from Lilith into
58:39
Speaker 1: the cup, he reveals that he had his shadow his
58:45
Speaker 1: shadow Hunter minions capture an old friend of Clari's, and
58:50
Speaker 1: that is Luke's sister Adamus, I'm sorry at Amzis, and
58:57
Speaker 1: they force her to drink from the cup to demonstrate
59:00
Speaker 1: what it's going to do. Immediately, she begins to like convulse,
59:07
Speaker 1: and the rooms that the permanent rooms that that are
59:13
Speaker 1: pretty standard or a shadow hunters, they begin to vanish
59:17
Speaker 1: from her body. And once she's when she relaxes and
59:22
Speaker 1: stops convulsing, she stands up and it's clear when you
59:26
Speaker 1: look into her eyes, her eyes are like flat, like
59:31
Speaker 1: you know, like like like psychopaths and serial killers have
59:34
Speaker 1: like this flat steady, like almost predatory look. Yeah, it's
59:39
Speaker 1: like that. It's like that. And now a Mattis has
59:46
Speaker 1: been fully transformed into a dark shadow hunter and she's
59:50
Speaker 1: and she's at the she's completely loyal to Sebastian. Now,
59:54
Speaker 1: Sebastian orders her to kill a couple of dissenters, like
1:00:00
Speaker 1: people who weren't some of them more sympathetic shadow hunters
1:00:04
Speaker 1: that appeared, the shadow hunters who were more sympathetic to Balancine.
1:00:07
Speaker 1: Some of them were all like, yeah, we were sympathetic
1:00:09
Speaker 1: to your dad, not you, like fuck you, we don't
1:00:11
Speaker 1: need We're not gonna serve you. Well, Sebastian is just
1:00:15
Speaker 1: like Okay turns to a mattis killing and she immediately
1:00:18
Speaker 1: brutally kills him, and she shows like demonstrates that as
1:00:22
Speaker 1: dark dark shadow Hunters, they're not as fast or as
1:00:26
Speaker 1: strong as Sebastian is, but they're definitely a lot more
1:00:31
Speaker 1: There are definitely a lot more ferocious than normal shadow hunters.
1:00:39
Speaker 1: So immediately after seeing this demonstration, the remaining sympathizers began
1:00:50
Speaker 1: to line up and they all begin drinking from them
1:00:52
Speaker 1: from the Dark Cup, and they all begin to transform
1:00:55
Speaker 1: into Dark shadow Hunters. By the time the last one
1:00:58
Speaker 1: finishes transfer forming, that's when Simon and the and the
1:01:03
Speaker 1: Clave arrive, so they immediately they immediately launched their attack
1:01:08
Speaker 1: against the Dark shadow Hunters and engage in a fight.
1:01:12
Speaker 1: The thing is is that because the Dark shadow Hunters
1:01:14
Speaker 1: were caught off guard, uh, they were pretty easily beaten back,
1:01:19
Speaker 1: though they did do their fair their fair share of
1:01:22
Speaker 1: damage to the shadow Hunters. The problem is is that
1:01:26
Speaker 1: the one thing that the Dark shadow Hunters weren't counting
1:01:29
Speaker 1: on was the fact that their own rooms and Sarah
1:01:33
Speaker 1: weapons and Stella's stopped working for them, so they no
1:01:39
Speaker 1: longer have once they became Dark shadow Hunters. The angelic
1:01:43
Speaker 1: runs that they the permanent angelic rooms that's that decorated
1:01:46
Speaker 1: their bodies immediately vanished, and they can they can no
1:01:50
Speaker 1: longer use seraph blades like. They can still hold the
1:01:53
Speaker 1: seraph blades and swing them, but they can't summon the
1:01:56
Speaker 1: essence of an angel to help them, and they can't
1:01:58
Speaker 1: pull out their they can't activate the stele as to
1:02:01
Speaker 1: draw runs on their body anymore. So they were kind.
1:02:04
Speaker 1: They were not only caught off guard, but they were
1:02:06
Speaker 1: also unfamiliar with how their new powers work. So for
1:02:11
Speaker 1: the most part, they were easily beaten back, and many
1:02:14
Speaker 1: of them do escape, and Sebastian himself does escape too,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: but not before Simon he arrives and he gives Clary
1:02:25
Speaker 1: the uh the Heavenly Blade Glorious. She immediately runs to
1:02:31
Speaker 1: try to try She immediately runs to try to like
1:02:35
Speaker 1: get to Sebastian before he could disappear, But before she
1:02:40
Speaker 1: can get to him, Jace steps in front of her
1:02:43
Speaker 1: and tries to stop her, and and Clarie, having been
1:02:47
Speaker 1: informed of what the blade will do, knows that it's
1:02:49
Speaker 1: not going to hurt him, so she immediately stabs Jace.
1:02:54
Speaker 1: The thing is though she didn't get a chance to
1:02:56
Speaker 1: learn that the blade only has a one use is
1:02:58
Speaker 1: only a one use, want and done kind of thing.
1:03:01
Speaker 1: So as soon as she stabs him, he immediately bursts
1:03:04
Speaker 1: into flame and the blade and the blade completely falls
1:03:09
Speaker 1: apart oh no and vanishes. Uh huh It's okay, though
1:03:14
Speaker 1: he survives. Okay, the stab won't actually wasn't fatal, and
1:03:19
Speaker 1: the and the flames don't act don't hurt him. And
1:03:25
Speaker 1: the thing is is that as soon as he burst
1:03:26
Speaker 1: into flames and the heavenly fire begins to burn through
1:03:30
Speaker 1: his body, Clary notices like immediately hears Sebastian's enraged and
1:03:36
Speaker 1: painful uh screens because the thing is is that Sebastian
1:03:40
Speaker 1: can feel the fun the flames burning the link that
1:03:44
Speaker 1: allowed him to possess uh Jase and Jace. The flames
1:03:52
Speaker 1: dis eventually disappear, and Jace collapses unconscious. Uh. Sebastian, having
1:03:57
Speaker 1: been thoroughly whooped by this uh by this ambush, retreats
1:04:03
Speaker 1: with his dark shadow Hunters. Later on, back at the institute, UH,
1:04:13
Speaker 1: Clary finds Jason and the infirmary, and she's happy he's
1:04:18
Speaker 1: a lie, but learns that he's actually that While the
1:04:21
Speaker 1: flames did burn away the dark room, there's not actually gone.
1:04:28
Speaker 1: His body has become like a vessel for them. So
1:04:31
Speaker 1: the holy so, the heavenly flames are still in his body.
1:04:36
Speaker 2: Oh, he's a vampire with holy flames. That's interesting.
1:04:42
Speaker 1: No, Jason is a shadow hunter.
1:04:46
Speaker 2: Hey, sorry, I was thinking of I'll take someone else, Simon.
1:04:52
Speaker 1: No, so Jace. So he's back to normal. He's been
1:04:55
Speaker 1: completely free of Sebastian's control. And when they got when
1:04:59
Speaker 1: they welcome back to the Institute, the clave immediately sent
1:05:03
Speaker 1: an iron sister and his silent brother to perform the
1:05:07
Speaker 1: ritual on him that would pretend future possessions. So now
1:05:12
Speaker 1: he's completely back to normal, but they have to be
1:05:14
Speaker 1: very careful because for some reason, the holy fire that's
1:05:19
Speaker 1: in him is reactive to his state of mind. So
1:05:23
Speaker 1: every time his adrenaline rises, the fire will begin to
1:05:27
Speaker 1: burn anything he touches. Our personally, it doesn't burn Clary,
1:05:33
Speaker 1: but still it's going to come up. It's going to
1:05:36
Speaker 1: cause some problems in the future, of course. And this
1:05:47
Speaker 1: is pretty much where pretty much, this is where they
1:05:57
Speaker 1: this is where the story ends. There were a couple
1:05:59
Speaker 1: of other like side. There was a couple of other
1:06:03
Speaker 1: side plots that did happen in this book, mainly concerning
1:06:08
Speaker 1: like in his relationship with Magnus. The thing is is
1:06:12
Speaker 1: that Alec has been feeling very self conscious about his
1:06:16
Speaker 1: life with his relationship with Magnus, because the thing is
1:06:19
Speaker 1: is that Magnus, as a warlock, he's immortal. He will
1:06:23
Speaker 1: never age or bund it, whereas I like being just
1:06:26
Speaker 1: a normal shadow hunter, He's going to live as long
1:06:28
Speaker 1: as he's human. Well, yeah, as a shadow hunter whose
1:06:32
Speaker 1: life is not may lifespan of shadow hunters is never
1:06:37
Speaker 1: really that long because since they're constantly putting themselves in
1:06:41
Speaker 1: danger to fight demon kind, mortality rates are very high.
1:06:45
Speaker 1: So you know, while some shadow hunters may live to
1:06:48
Speaker 1: like a good old middle age, oftentimes they go down
1:06:51
Speaker 1: fighting even if they live to that good old age.
1:06:56
Speaker 1: So it's rare for a shadow hunter to go to
1:07:00
Speaker 1: like to age too elderly. We'll say it like that,
1:07:05
Speaker 1: elderly shadow hunters are rare.
1:07:07
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:07:09
Speaker 1: But the thing is that Alec was approached by Magnus's
1:07:15
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend, Camille the Vampire, And the thing is is
1:07:20
Speaker 1: that Camille was starting to get tried getting into Alex's
1:07:23
Speaker 1: head and even told him that there's a ritual that
1:07:25
Speaker 1: she could perform for him that will strip Magnus of
1:07:28
Speaker 1: his immortality, allowing him to allow in the two of
1:07:31
Speaker 1: them to live the rest of their lives together. And
1:07:36
Speaker 1: the thing is is that even though like he did
1:07:39
Speaker 1: find that the offer tempting, he realized he could never
1:07:43
Speaker 1: do that to Alec. I'm sorry to Magnus, so he
1:07:49
Speaker 1: decides to reject her offer. But the thing is is
1:07:52
Speaker 1: that Magnus found out and he was pretty upset about it.
1:07:57
Speaker 1: He found out about the about commit what Camille was offering,
1:08:01
Speaker 1: and he was more upset with Alec that Alec would
1:08:03
Speaker 1: even connsider it. So, in his anger, Magnus breaks up
1:08:09
Speaker 1: with Alec and leaves him and Alec, you know, he's
1:08:15
Speaker 1: very distraught and angery. He goes and he goes and
1:08:19
Speaker 1: try and hunts down Camille to kill her out of
1:08:22
Speaker 1: you know, anger. But when he finds her, he finds
1:08:25
Speaker 1: that she's already dead. So she's dead, and the person
1:08:32
Speaker 1: that killed her was actually a younger vampire named Maureen Marine.
1:08:37
Speaker 1: You may remember, she's actually the young vampire that Simon
1:08:43
Speaker 1: had indirectly created, so he was she wasn't born of
1:08:49
Speaker 1: Simon's blood, but things Simon had fed off with her
1:08:52
Speaker 1: in a moment of like laughs, of his control and
1:08:56
Speaker 1: well as a way to get back at him, of
1:09:00
Speaker 1: getting back at him. I think it was was it rough.
1:09:05
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if it was Raphael or Camille
1:09:07
Speaker 1: who turned her into a vampire, but they were trying
1:09:10
Speaker 1: to fuck with him, so they turned her into a vampire,
1:09:13
Speaker 1: and she was She became obsessive, and she became more
1:09:16
Speaker 1: psychopathic because in her human life, Maureen was she was
1:09:21
Speaker 1: kind of obsessed with Simon because she was his because
1:09:24
Speaker 1: Simon isn't a band, and she became his number one fan.
1:09:30
Speaker 1: So the thing is that since he repected her and
1:09:34
Speaker 1: now vampire and bitter about it, Like she likes her
1:09:36
Speaker 1: life as a vampire, but she's still kind of bitter
1:09:38
Speaker 1: at Simon for like putting her in this position. So
1:09:41
Speaker 1: she wanted to be in charge now so she could
1:09:43
Speaker 1: ended up killing Camille and taking her place as the
1:09:46
Speaker 1: head vampire of New York. Yeah, because the the thing
1:09:52
Speaker 1: is is, like you must be wondering, wait, wait, I
1:09:54
Speaker 1: thought Rafael was the head vampire, not legally, so he
1:10:00
Speaker 1: technically performed at an out an ousted Camille, but she's
1:10:05
Speaker 1: still technically the legal leader of the vampire of the
1:10:11
Speaker 1: vampire community. Yeah, so now she's technically so. Now Marie's
1:10:16
Speaker 1: technically in charge. Uh So that's going to bite us
1:10:21
Speaker 1: in the ass in the future. That may or may
1:10:22
Speaker 1: not bite us in the ass in the future. But
1:10:25
Speaker 1: the book, the story is the story for this. Uh.
1:10:29
Speaker 1: The book is going to come I can't talk today.
1:10:32
Speaker 1: The story is going to come to an end at
1:10:34
Speaker 1: the institute. M hmm with Maris Alec Lightwood's mother, she's
1:10:41
Speaker 1: now the she's now the head of the institute, and
1:10:46
Speaker 1: the Silent Brothers. Ah, the Silent Brothers had approached her
1:10:53
Speaker 1: and they present her with a with something they had found,
1:10:58
Speaker 1: and they were a pair of angels. Wings of angel wings,
1:11:04
Speaker 1: like brutally severed from an angel. Uh.
1:11:09
Speaker 2: Oh.
1:11:10
Speaker 1: And the thing is is that these angel wings well,
1:11:16
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let me let's back up future
1:11:18
Speaker 1: den at that last part out Maris as the head
1:11:23
Speaker 1: of the institute, She's in charge of Uh. Maris Alec
1:11:28
Speaker 1: Lightwood's mother, as the head of the institute, she's in
1:11:31
Speaker 1: charge of everything of the comings and goings. And she
1:11:33
Speaker 1: had discovered something in the Institute's library, and she immediately
1:11:37
Speaker 1: called for the Silent Brothers, and when they arrived, she
1:11:40
Speaker 1: shows them. She chose the Silent Brothers a pair of
1:11:45
Speaker 1: angel wings that had mysteriously appeared on the floor of
1:11:49
Speaker 1: her library, and the wings had a note left with them,
1:11:58
Speaker 1: and the only thing that the note says is it's
1:12:03
Speaker 1: from It's from Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern. And the only thing,
1:12:11
Speaker 1: the only other thing that the note says is a
1:12:15
Speaker 1: phrase in Latin which translates to I am coming. Uh
1:12:24
Speaker 1: oh no, And that is where the story ends.
1:12:29
Speaker 3: Oh oh, we're in danger, We're in.
