• 11:47
  Speaker 3: some of Sanderson's work, even though it was not technically his,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: but he was the one who stepped up to finish
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the story. You know, of course I'm talking about Time. Yeah,

  Speaker 3: the Wheel of Time, the last three books. Was it
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: book twelve through fourteen?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Or was it book I think it was?
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: No, No, it was twelve. But the thing is twelve
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: was already pretty much written out by Robert Jordan, he
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: just finished it, and then thirteen and fourteen was completely
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: just going off the source material, the notes. And we
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: are also joined today by my dog Shelley. As you
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: can see, she's making herself comfortable on my perfectly cleaning
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: bed sheets. And oh look she's climbed.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: She's she's she's burrowing on she's.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Burrowing, she's making her little nest. This is what she does.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: She rearranges my bed. She's like hello, like huh, bunch.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And but anyway, so we've we've literally talked about a
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: bunch of books that we're planning on reading, and yet
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: we're not actually talking We have yet to talk about
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: the book we're actually going to talk about today exactly.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: So enough dilly dad dallying enough thithering and pithering and
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: pillaging and shit. Today we are going to be talking
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: about a book, a book by a wonderful author by
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the name of Cassandra Claire. For those of you who
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: know she is, you know, I'm pretty sure you already
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: know which book this is going to be. For those
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: of you who don't know, Cassandra Claire is well known
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: for her series The Mortal Instruments. Uh so, we are
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: going to be going into the Mortal Instruments series. And
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: this is what I meant by this is what I
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: meant earlier when I said we're going back to our
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: rude sel.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: My god, that looks terribly blown out. There'll be an
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: image on there.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Continue yep. So The Mortal Instruments is the start of
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: her shadow Hunter series. Novel The Mortal Instruments is like
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I think, like six books. Yes, yes, there's six books.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I've read them all and oh I read them on
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: my read them on Kindle, I read them on Apple.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: That's what I did, as.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I am, Yes I did, you sure did?
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I sure did? Yes, I did. Anyway. So, so the
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: book we're starting with today is a City of Bones.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: The reason why I said, the reason why I said,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: we're going back to our roots. Because this series has
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: been adapted into several live action features, so of course
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: it was originally adapted into a movie. I'm not really
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: going to talk about the movie because the only thing
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I need to say about the movie it was that
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: it was terrible.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I saw that in theaters back in the day, and yeah,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that great.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: It wasn't that great. I had already read most of
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: the series by that point, and I'm just over here
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: like mm hmmmmm mm hmmm mmmmm, no signor no, no, ma'am,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: and I was. I was thoroughly disappointed by it. But
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I've read and reread this series several times. This is
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: one of my more favorite series, and I was happy
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: that it did. They did decide to remake The Mortal
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Instruments into a TV show instead. It was originally streamed
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: on Hulu and there was like there was about two seasons.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: They did make it about like two or three seasons
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: before the show was ultimately canceled. And the show, I
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: will say, was decent, and they had a more modern
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: take to the shadow Hunters and the characters, so like
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: throughout this throughout the written story, the main characters the
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: shadow Hunters, who are a race of half angels quote
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: unquote half angels who basically police the shadow world, the
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: or the down world as they call it, so they
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: defend the world from demons, and they also police the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: half human populations, so that includes the vampire population, the
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: werewolf population, the warlock population. Warlocks in this series are
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a race of half human half demon and oh where
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: do you go?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, I'm back.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Sorry, he's he's back. And the fourth race that they
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: also govern is the Fay. So if you're very into
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Celtic mythology and the Fay, Cassandra Claire did a really
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: good job with the Fay in this the way she's
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: written them, they they're very they are very faithful to
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: she stayed faithful to like the stories of the Fay,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: how they are, how they're very mischievous, and how if
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: you're not careful, they could end up like luring you
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: into traps. And most of the time it's not really
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: lethal being around them, but in some cases they they
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: could trick you into falling into like some sort of
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: charm that makes you dance your ass off until your
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: feet bleed, and yeah, that sounds about right, and there
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: they also talk about the Seily and Unciily Courts, and
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: for the most part in the in the Mortal Instruments series,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: you've only they only having dealings with the Seily Court.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But the Uncily Court does make an appearance in one
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: of her later series, and I believe that's the Dark Artifices.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: But that's but we're not focused on that today. We're
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: gonna be focusing on the Mortal Instruments, particularly book one,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: City of Bones. And I will say this book, it
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: is very it is an interesting, uh, it is an
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: interesting book. It sets the stage for the rest of
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: the series because there's like there's three aside from the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Mortal Instruments, there's now three other series that take place
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: within the world of the within the shadow Hunter story.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: So there is more.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: There's more than that now well.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: There's no so like there's there's like standalone novels, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: then there's also like there's three other like series like
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: like sequences of books, and one of them is The
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Infernal Devices, which takes place like about one to two
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: hundred years this is back in the Victorian era England.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: And then the other one, the Dark Artifacts Artifices, takes
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: place after the events of the Immortal Instruments, after the
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: sixth book has ended, and there's another one.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: There's two more.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: There's the Last there's the Last Hours, which story finished,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: and then there's The Eldest Curses, which two of the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: three of the books are out right now.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, so she I didn't know about that one, then I, okay,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: learn everything, learned something every day, and I've only read
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: at the Dark Artifices, and I started reading The Infernal Devices,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: but for some reason I can't. I keep like, I
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: don't know what happened. I look at my I look
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: at iTunes and says I finished it, and I'm like,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: I barely remember the story. What's going on?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: So so, but yeah, there's the Last Hours, then there's
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: the Eldest Curses, and then there's gonna be one more
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: that that rounds out, that ends out the whole book
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: series as a whole. It's gonna be called Wicked Powers,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: and there's gonna be three books in that, and the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: first one for that does not come out until twenty
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: twenty six.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, she's a lot. Okay, I need to like go
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: back and read them. Well, I don't know, I've already
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: read the Dark Artifices and Mortal Instruments.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I just got to last hours Eldest Curses, and.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I gotta finish up the Infernal Devices because the Infernal
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Devices do tie into the Mortal Instruments. There are several
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: characters that do appear in the Mortal Instruments that originated
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: from the Infernal Devices. But anyway, so.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Before we begin, she have the only one that read this, sir, no,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: don't don't choose me. So now I know a little
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: bit about the series, of course, but from the movie.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: That sad excuse of the movie. But I've always wanted
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to read this series, and I thought about doing it
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: for audiobook. Then I thought I stumbled upon an amazing discovery.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Apparently Cassandra Claire loves a graphic novel adaptation. She's had several,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: She's not like two or three of her books, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: they never be able to complete the series The Mortal Instruments.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: But there's one currently going on the manga that is
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: gone through Yen Press with the artist Cassandra Jean and
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: right now, as of right now, they have the first
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: four books out the two volumes per book, and right
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: now the next volume is going to be starting.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: The fifth book.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Then after that, of course, just so there's about three more,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: no four more volumes, because there's gonna be two for
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: the next book and then two for the last, and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: then of course they made a manga for the prequels.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: That's three volumes for one for each book.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I could kind of contribute a little bit,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: so I know, I know what we're talking about basically,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're going over the actual novels, but I'm
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: not I'm going in not totally clueless. So but if
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: you want to check that out, Yin Press does the
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: graphic novel or manga version of these stories, and they
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: it does a marvelous job.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I love the artwork of this.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: So anyway, continue gone with the story of the City
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of Bones, which will be the first two volumes of
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the graphic novel from you, because are you wondering what?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I wanted to give the shout out to the artists too,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: uh m hmmm.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: So anyway, So, like we said, the Mortal Instruments is
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: a story surrounding a world where angels and demons exist
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: and their children fight for either the survival or the
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: destruction of the world. Now, before we actually get into
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: the story concerning the main characters, just to give a
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: little backstory about the shadow Hunters and the world of
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: the Mortal Instruments altogether. So it really this all starts
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: about a thousand years ago, at the height of the
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Dark Ages. So back then, demons were continuously materializing in
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: our world and they were spreading fear. They were terrorizing people,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: they were massacring entire villages and cities. It was getting
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: to the point where they were almost completely overwhelming the world,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: and there were people, there were pockets and groups of
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: people that were fighting back against these demonic forces. But unfortunately,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: conventional weaponry has little to no effect on demons, because
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: the thing about demons is that when they enter our world,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: they're really not truly entering our world fully, so they're physical.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: They can appear in a physical form here, but if
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: you manage to kill one, well, it just vanishes and
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: goes back to the dimension that came from. And so technically,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: even though you've killed the demon, the demon will eventually
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: return if it finds a way. Now, it was getting
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: to the point where humanity was pretty much going to
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: be wiped out, and seemed like all hope was los
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah, you know the usual. All all hope
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: is loss. Until there was a group of demon hunters
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: led by a man named Jonathan shadow Hunter. Uh. These
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: demon hunters figured out a way to summon an angel.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: And they didn't just summon any angel. They summoned a
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: bona fide archangel, an archangel by the name of Razil. Now,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: when they summoned Rozil, Jonathan's shadow Hunter pleaded with the
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: angel to grant him and his followers the power and
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: tools necessary to effectively combat these demonic hordes, and Rozil,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: seeing that Jonathan shadow Hunter's intentions were pure, he granted
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: his wish. So he gave the shadow He gave Jonathan
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: and his shadow Hunters because because after this point they
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: began to call themselves by Jonathan's name, He gave them
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: multiple tools. He gave them a book called the Great Book,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: which contains a list of these runes, angelic runes that
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: give that will grant them special power. Now the thing
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: is on their own. Normal humans can't use angelic runes.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: They just won't work. If you If a human inscribes
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: a rone, of course, the rune itself will ward off demons,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: but they won't be able to activate the ability that
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: the rone provides. So alongside this book, he also gave
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: the shadow Hunters a special material called Atamus. It's a
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: crystalline material almost looks kind of like an opaque. It's
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: like a metal, but but it's opaque, and depending on
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: how it's forged, it can come out looking crystal, very
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: crystal like, and he showed them how to fashion. He
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: gave them a rundown of how to fashion atomis into
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: effective weapons and tools, primarily a special kind of style
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: as tool or like a pen called a stelle. And
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: with these stellas, the shadow Hunters are able to inscribe
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: rooms not only on different surfaces to activate their effects,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: but on their own body. But like I said, they
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: can't use these yet without little extra help. So aside
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: from Atamus and the Gray Book, Razil gave gave them
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: three instruments, the Mortal Cup, the Mortal Sword, and the
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Mortal Mirror. Now, the Mortal Mirror, no one really knows
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: what happened to it, and they don't really know what
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: its purpose was, so it's considered it's considered lost. The
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Mortal or at least they'll figure you'll figure they'll actually
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: reveal where the Mortal Mirror is and what happened to
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: it later on in the series, but it's not gonna
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: happen here, and I'm not gonna spoil it for you guys.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: The Mortal Sword, the Mortal Sword will make an appearance
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: in this book and its purpose it was given. It
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: was originally used by Jonathan shadow Hunter to fight the
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Demon Hordes, but after he died it was it was
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: simply given to a group of shadow Hunters called the
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Silent Brothers and they keep it and the the Mortal
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Sword doesn't have any real special abilities aside from it
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: compels shadow Hunters to speak only the truth. So if
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: you're holding the sword, it causes you to speak the truth. Now.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: The third and most important, probably the most important instrument
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: that the shadow Hunters possess, is the Mortal Cup. Because
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: the Mortal Cup, it is a golden chalice, kind of
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: holy grailed type of cup made made of Atabus the
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: angelic material, Uh, that angelic material, and it is filled
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: to the brim with Raziel's angel blood. Razil gave Jonathan
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: shadow Hunter the Mortal Cup and filled it with his
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: own blood and told Uh and told shadow Hunter to
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: drink his blood. This will give this will give the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: shadow Hunters the abilities, uh somewhat angelic abilities, So it'll
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: it'll make them stronger, they'll give them better faster and
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: better reflexes. And they're basically they become hardier people, right,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: They're a lot, They're a lot tougher, They're stronger, they
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: have higher endurance, and most importantly, with angelic blood flowing
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: through their veins, they will have the ability to use
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: the angelic runs to activate them as well as properly
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: use Atomis to its full ability because Adamis has its
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: own unique properties as well. That's that's tied deeply to
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: the angelic hosts. So with the Mortal Cup, Jonathan shadow
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Hunter drank the Angel's blood and became the very first.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: So the shadow Hunters they are nephilim, half angel half humans,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: but they typically go by the Moniker's shadow Hunters, and
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Jonathan shadow Hunter directed his followers to drink the Angel's
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: blood as well, so his little merry band of Demon
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Hunters became the very first shadow Hunters, and from there
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: they set out. They began pushing back the effectively pushing
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: back and combating the demon hordes and they started spreading,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: they started actually recruiting more people to become shadow Hunters,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: to the point where now shadow Hunters are found pretty
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: much all over the world, but they're still a very
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: small they're a very small group. And in modern times,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the shadow Hunters have their own secret country. It's a
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: country hidden somewhere in Europe. I believe. They said it
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: was somewhere between France and Germany, so like right where
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: the borders of France and Germany meets, there's this little
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: strip of land that's hidden, and that is the shadow
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Hunter homeland called Idris. And the shadow Hunters form their
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: own government they call the Conclave or the Clave. And
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: they now now that they've set they've effect pretty much
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: effectively pushed out a vast majority of the demon of
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: the demon Hordes, and they've set up wards in place
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: to basically seal off our dimension from large scale incursions. Now,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: some demons are still able to slip through the cracks,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: but not as much as they used to during the
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Dark Ages. And now, aside from the demons, the shadow
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Hunters govern and police the down World. The down World
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: is basically this hidden underworld where all the other half
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: human race, half human or sub human races exist now.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: The shadow Hunters, of course enforce a strict, a strict
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: policy of secret. Not to like pull from Stephanie Meyer.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: But they're kind of like the Vulture, but not as
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: but not as you know, gung ho. Okay, the shadow
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Hunters can be pretty gun ho, though not gonna lie. Uh.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: So that's what brings us to our story in modern times.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Now before we start, now, before before we start with
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the full story, I do want to talk about a
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: little bit about some events that happened before everything starts.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: So about fifteen years before the story begins, there was
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: an uprising in Indris. This uprising was led by a
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: shadow hunter by the name of Valentine. Valentine and a
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: small group of people who followed him call calling themselves
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the Circle.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Not fucking Valiander, not that bitch.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Hang on pause, my mom's calling me. Oh hello, Hey,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: what's up. M It's it's the experienced credit lock. And

  Speaker 5: Right, okay, mm hmm. Okay, all right, mm hmm, all right, bye, I.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Have moms set up on Aura. Yeah, so I'm just like,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh shit, because she hardly uses it.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: But I was just like, well, hey, Mom, I can
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: give this like identity protection to you for free. Anyway,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: where was I at? Oh yeah, the Uprising?
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, the uprising?
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Unpause, so yeah, So fifteen years ago a shadow hunter
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: by the name of Valentine led an uprising, so him
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: and his small group of shadow Hunters that were called
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: the Circle.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: They.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: They all fell into Valentine's belief that the down world
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: should be perched. So pretty much any non human race
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: should be completely annihilated, all right, completely wiped out. So
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: the vampires, wear, wolves, fay, warlocks, all of them should
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: be completely eradicated. And basically, basically he believes that the
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: shadow hunters should stop hiding from the rest of the
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: world and rise up and take a more active role
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: in the world. Basically, basically, he thought that the shadow
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: hunter should be on top because objectively speaking, shadow hunters
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: are stronger than humans and also because they are graced
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: by the power of the angels blah blah blah, they
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: should be the ones in charge and they should, and
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: they should take much stricter steps to protect the world
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: from demons. So part of the uprising was to seize
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: all of the mortal instruments, the sword, the cup, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: eventually try to find the mirror. But they did manage
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: to steal a cup, and they there was a massive uh.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: It was basically like a revolt in the heart of Idrius.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately for Valentine, his circle was over, was overwhelmed,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: and they were all either executed or arrested. Most of
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: them were arrested, several of them were given amnesty for
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: providing information. Some of them were put on like permanent
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: house arrests. Valentine was believed to have died, but no
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: one was able to confirm his death, and he had disappeared,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: and no one knew where he went. So I will
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: tell you. I'll go ahead and just tell you guys
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: right now. The story follows Valentine's daughter, Clarissa Fray. Now,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: when after the uprising see leading up to the uprising,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Valentine's wife, Clari's mother. You know, I knew I was
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: supposed to do something. Who Jocelyn So, that's her name,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Jocelyn So. Claire's mother Jocelyn. She was at one point
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: married to Valentine and she was a member. She was
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: a member of the Circle. The thing is, towards the end,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: she she had become disillusioned and she decided to turn
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: against Valentine, and she did this by stealing the Mortal
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Cup right from under Valentine's nose. And Jocelyn disappeared from
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: the world of shadow Hunters. She abandoned Idris. She completely
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: cut herself off from the shadow Hunters and also in
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: in in some cases, she cut herself off from the
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: down world. And the thing is, she was pregnant with
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Clari at the time, and when she made her escape,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: she eventually gave birth and she decided to raise Clary
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: as a normal person. The thing about shadow Hunters is
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: that they have the ability to see through glamours, the
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: typical glamours that many downworlders use to hide what they
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: truly are. So Warlocks typically have some sort of inhuman
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: feature that is either difficult to conceal or very noticeable,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: so like a cloven hoof, wings, cat's eyes, purple or
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: pink skin, and shadow Hunters can see through these kind
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: of glamours. And it's the same with the Fay, so
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: the things that typically hide the downworld from humans, shadow
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: hunters can see through. And what Jocelyn ended up doing
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: as Clary began to notice more as she grew up
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: and she began to notice more and more of the downworld,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Joscelyn hired a particular warlock to cast a memory spell
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: on Clari. So throughout for the first fifteen years of
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: her life, her memory of the down World was continuously
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: being depressed and blocked. So technically she could still see
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: into the down world, but her because of the spell
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: blocking her memories, it basically gloss caused her to gloss
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: over those features, so oh look like, oh look, there's
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: a dude with antlers walking down the street. Nothing to
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: see there. So so she lives her whole life not
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: realizing that there's an entire world existing alongside the normal world,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: all right, that is until she gets that is, until
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: she's about fifteen years old. Clarie is spending time with
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: her best friend Simon, and they're out and about. This
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: is taking place in New York City as in like
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: the Big as in the Big Apple. And as they're
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: spending time, they're going out there being done teenagers, they
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: come across a nightclub, and what draws Clary there she
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: notices strange markings on the sign of the nightclub. The
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: nightclub in particular is called the called the Pandemonium. So
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: she convinces her best friend Simon to go with her
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: into the club. They're having a good time until she
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: notices that there's three strange teenagers following a kid what
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: appears to be an unensuming guy into a into a
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: storage closet. And the thing is what cas what caught
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: her attention was that all three teenagers were armed to
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: the teeth with all kinds of weapons, strange looking swords.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: One dude had a bow, one dude had like a
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: weird crystal looking sword. The girl that was with them
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: had a strange golden like she was dressed like, let
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: me tell you something. The girl that was with them,
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you right now, her name is is
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: about Lightwood, and uh, this girl was dressed to impress
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: and and she was. What she basically did was like
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: she led the guy into, uh, this unassuming guy into
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: the closet, into the storage closet, and Clarire noticed that
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: she was covered like parts of uh, I'm sorry, she
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: she didn't notice the rooms because her dress was design.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Isabelle's dress was careful, carefully covered the rooms, but she
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: noticed that the two that there was two guys following
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Isabelle and this rather unassuming guy into the storage closet
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: and they were armed to the teeth. So Clarie. Yeah,
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: so Clarie, when she curious, she follows them and sneaks
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: into the storage closet and just and right as she
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: enters the closet, she sees these three teenagers brutally murder
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: this guy. And what's even more confusing is that as
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: soon as they run him through and like stab and
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: cack him down, he vanishes.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah you sure do, mm hmm.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: And she freaks out the three kids as who are
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: as it turns out to be shadow hunters. They notice her,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: and Clari threatens to report them because she just witnessed
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: what she assumes is a murder. And the thing is
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: is that they're all like they're confused, but they're like, okay,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: go ahead, see what happens, uh, Clarie. Before she can
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: call for help, her friend comes into the closet and
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: is wondering, like what's going on, and Clarie tells him
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: like these guys just attacked this kid. And when Simon
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: looks at where she's pointing, he doesn't see anything. Yeah,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: does not see anything, And Clary is confused, and you know,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: she's somewhat traumatized. She's somewhat traumatized, but there's nothing that
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: she can do. She eventually just takes off and.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: She not And.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: At first these guys want to like are curious as
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: how she can see how a normally looks a normal
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: looking girl like her who they they often refer to
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: her as a mundane. The shadow Hunters often refer to
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: humans as mundanes. And you know, it's kind of funny.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: It's one of those little it's that little niche that
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of these kind of fantasy youth novels do.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Like there's like a if there's like a like a
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: magical world. The people of the magical world call regular
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: humans by like some weird name, like of course, muggles.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: The mundanes are something like that. And uh so, Claria
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: ends up leaving the She ends up leaving the Pandemonium,
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: and she for the most part, goes back to her life,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: but slowly, over the next few days, she starts noticing
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: things are different. She strange. Things are off and some
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: things are not as what she remembered them to be.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: And for Clary, she's very she's very set on living
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: her own normal life. She's an artist, and she had recently,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: up until this point, I've been accepted to like a
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: prestigious like art school for like an arts program. But
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: just before she's set to go through like get started
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: with it, her mother pulls her aside alongside her family,
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: their family friend guy named Luke, and they tell her
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: that they're planning on taking a summer trip to this
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: family cabin. And this is upsetting for Clary because the
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: thing is is that the program, the program will overlap
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: with their their supposed trip, and she was very upset
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: because her mother was very adamant that there's they need
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: to go. Though while they're arguing, she knows you can
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: note that Luke is the one is also somewhat on
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: the fence about it and keeps making comments about, you know,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: we should just let her, like we should just let
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: it happen, you know, some like kind of like sort
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: of like shared. Him and Jocelyn have these like shared
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: moments of like they know something's up and they're not
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: telling Clarie the whole story things like that. So Clarie,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: in a huff, ends up walking out of her house
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: and go spend time with her best friend Simon and
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: see here. While she's out, she comes across one of
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: those one of the boys that she encountered at the pandemonium.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: This boy, his name is Jace. You know, I will
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: say this. Jase ends up changing his name multiple times. Yeah,
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: and and that's because like his heritage is very confusing,
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: so like what was the originally?
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Ah?
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, so originally he introduces himself as Jace Whalen. Jace
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: is more of a nickname. His real name is Jonathan
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: Christopher or j C or Jace m hm. And Jace
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: explains who he is, that he is that he and
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: his friends were shadow hunters, so Isabelle like and her
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: older brother Alec Lightwood, they are a part. He explains
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: that they are shadow hunters and he's curious is and
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: he's Jace shows that he's very curious about Clary and
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: how is it that she's able to see through their
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: glamor because shoes that hide them from more from Mundane's site.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: And while they're speaking, Clarie does get a call from
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: her mother and Clarie, who's still kind of reeling from
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: the revelation that you know, she can see into the
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: down world, she picks up because she'd been ignoring her
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: mother up until that point. And when she picks up
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: the phone, she hears her mother frantically telling Clarie to
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: to stay away from the house. She sounds like she's
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: in trouble and it sounds and she also hears noises
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: in the background that sounds something like there's a fight
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: going on in in their house. So panicked, Clarie rushes
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: back to her to her home, and what she finds
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: is that her house has been her apartment has been
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: completely turned over all right everything, you know, furniture's broken there,
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: you know, the walls are torn up. Seemed like it
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: seemed like the whole place had been ransacked. And she's
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: she realizes her others missing, and before she can really
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: like think of what to do next, she is attacked
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: by this monstrosity of a creature like kind of like
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: this scorpion like demon, demonic creature. It attacks Clary and
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: she freaks. She tries, she tries to defend herself, and
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Jace ends up showing up and manages to kill the
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: demon before it can do any before it can do
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: any harm.
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: That is, the demon did manage to sting Clary. Some
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: of its blood did get on Clary, and demon blood
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: is venomous. It's very toxic. So it managed to get
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: on her, get onto her and injure her. So Jace
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: was forced to take was forced to take her back
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: to the shadow Hunter Institute. Now, shadow Hunters they've established
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: sort of like safe havens in every major in every
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: major city around the world. So New York, Uh, their
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: safe haven or institute is located in an old, abandoned church.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: So on the outside it looks like an old, closed
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: down and condemned church, but for those who can see
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: through it, they can see that it's a like fully
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: upct and brightly lit institution. Jace takes Clary uh there
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: to be treated just as she's as she's starting to
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: feel the full effects of the demon of the demon
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: venom Jace kind of Jace makes a bit of a
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: hasty call, pulls out his stelle and traces a healing
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: room on Clary's skin. Now, I will tell you this,
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: that was a very dangerous move because because the thing
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: about humans is that humans cannot are not compatible with
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: angelic rooms. All right. The power that flows through an angel,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: through an angel's room is just too much for a
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: human to handle, and at the very least, it will
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: drive them insane. At the very worst, it will mutate
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: them and turn them into these like kind of like
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: rage monsters.
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: So he was taking a rest doing that, Yeah, But well,
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: turns out the risk paid off because, as it turns out,
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: she is a shadow hunter. It worked, Okay, cool, So
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: dodge a bullet right there.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: Who Yeah, So after she recovers Clary is uh Is,
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: she is introduced to the rest of the denizens of
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: the Institute. So at that moment, it's just Jace the
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Light the Lightwood siblings and their mentor, a guy by
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: the name of Hodge. Now, we later learned that Hodge
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: was a former member of Valentine's circle, and in the
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: wake of the uprising, he was given some form of
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: clemency for information on what Valentine was trying to do,
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: and so instead of just being completely imprisoned, he was
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: just simply exiled to He was exiled from Idris and
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: placed on house arrest inside of the New York Institute.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: So Hodge cannot physically leave the institute. He's stuck there
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: and I mean it, and it is a fitting, a
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: fitting punishment considering what the Circle in Valentine did, so
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: he is basically it's it's not a bad deal. He's
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: in charge of running the institute and he was also
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: left pretty much put in charge of training the Lightwoods
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: and later on Jace Whalen when he arrives, because as
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: far as we know about Jase at this point, he
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: was he's an orphan. He was He originally lived in
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: Idris alongside his father in a manner in the countryside
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: outside of the main city. But one day his father
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: was I believe the story was his mother. His father
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: was murdered by like either downworlders or he was killed
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: in a demon attack, and then because of that, either way,
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: as far as you know, his dad is dead and
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: he was sent to live with the Lightwoods in the
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: New York Institute. So he ends up growing up alongside
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: the Lightwood's, the Lightwood children, and eventually him and the
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: oldest Lightwood child, Alec Lightwood, they become best friends and
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: they decide to become each other's parabati. So shadow Hunters,
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: there's a special kind of ceremony where they are bonded
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: with a sort of like a partner. It's not like
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: a romantic partner. This is more of like a combat
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: partner or you know, your battle buddy.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Even though Alec is Tote's gay.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Yes and yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the algibty
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: exists in the shadow Hunter world. Alec Lightwood is a
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: flaming homosexual.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Ah, flaming and I love it.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Yep, he's a little bit of he's a little bit
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: repressed because the thing about the shadow Hunters is they
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: are pretty old fashioned and not exactly accepting of anything
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: that's outside of the traditional norm. But you know, eventually
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: Alec does come to be accepted by his family and well,
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: of course Jace accepts him for who he for who
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: he is, but at this point he's still in the
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: closet and there was a bit of a hilarious confrontation
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: between him and Clary. Clary instantly calls him out for
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: being in love with kids, and she even like asks
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: her his his sister, and Isabelle is just like.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: How do you know?
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Kind of it's kind of obvious.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: It is, it really is, especially in.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: The Yeah, and the thing is is that you know,
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: of course Jace is straight and uh being parapeti, they
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: can never become romantic partners because there's a big taboo
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: about parabotize becoming part becoming romantically involved. I won't go
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: too much into that. The thing is is that being
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: a parabotize is not just a title. There are actual
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: rooms that are placed that are traced on each partner.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: So like Jason Alec actually drew a special room on
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: each other. This room, this room is permanent and it
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: basically creates an emphatic link between them, so they are
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: aware of each other. They have they have more insight
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: into each other's uh emotions and because of this, this
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: makes them better in terms of combat. So they're able
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: to watch each other's back more effectively and respond to
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: and respond to each other while they're while they are
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: out in the field. So just having a parapotide bond
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: is considered very effective and very useful. So Claire learns
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: all this and she is she is eventually she is
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: eventually taken before the Silent Brothers in the City of Bones. Now,
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: the City of Bones technically does not exist underneath New York,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: but it has entrances near every major institution. So the
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: City of Bones what it is basically is it's like
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: one big crypt. So whenever a shadow Hunter dies, they
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: are cremated and their ashes are turned into like a
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: sort of kind of like a like a mortar or
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: like a a material which is added to the City
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: of Bones. So so basically, the City of Bones is
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: this big kind of underground quote unquote city where it's
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: not only where all shadow Hunters are in tombs, it's
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: also where the an order of shadow Hunters called Silent
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: Brothers have their headquarters. This is where so the Silent Brothers,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: they are a group of shadow Hunters who have chosen
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: sort of like a they're kind of similar to monks,
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: like like abbot monks, Uh, they choose a more pious life,
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: and their role is to basically uphold the histories and
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: the traditions of the shadow Hunters. They take on roles
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: of like healers and advisors, and they're kind of like
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: they're kind of like the judicial system of the shadow
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: Hunter society because the Clave is the ones are the
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: one The clave are the ones that make the roles
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: while the while the Silent Brothers they uphold the traditions
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: and they interpret the laws and the The city of
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: Bones is All was also the resting place of the
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: Immortal Sword, and they also at one point kept the
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: Mortal Cup there as well, before it was stolen and
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: the main the most shocking thing about the Silent Brothers
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: is that they purposely place the strongest runs from the
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: Book of the Great Book onto their bodies. They take
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: on these very powerful runs, and the thing about these
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: ruins is that it does cause their bodies to deform.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: So even though they do have Rozill's blood in their system,
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: these more strong, powerful runs are still a little too
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: much for them to handle. So while they are able
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: to place the runs on their body, it does cause
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: their bodies to become disfigured. So whether or not this
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: is done as part of like the initial part of
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: their ritual, the Silent Brothers, they all typically wear this
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: kind of like grayish almost like likes leave. It's like
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: a brownish or like paperis kind of robes, and they
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: always wear their hoods. They always have their hoods up.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Their mouths are stitch cloths, so their lips are you
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: can see their lips, and they're all stitch closed and
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: where they're and where their eyes are are just empty sockets.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: M hm.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: So that's part of now we don't really we don't
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: ever really see the full extent of a silent brother's deformity,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: just their face, so they're kind of hard to look at.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: But and think about the Silent Brothers is that they commute.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: They can only communicate telepathically, so first time Clary encounters them,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: they she can hear their voices in their head. They
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: take her down into the City of Bones where they
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: perform a test to determine her heritage and where she
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: comes from, and that's when they discover she has that
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: her memories are some of her memories are missing, but
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: they are able to determine in that she is a
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: shadow hunter. Her mother is Joscelyn Frey or as she
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: was originally known as Jocelyn Morgenstern, and her father is
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: Valentine Morgenstern. So still so they do determine she is
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: a shadow hunter and that her mother was once the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: wife of a criminal Valentine who led the who led
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: the uprising, and is her father Woo Fun great Ye
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: and she also and she also learns from that her
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: mother had stolen the Mortal Cup to keep it out
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: of Valentine's hands. The thing is, Valentine had wanted to steal,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: wanted to use the Mortal Cup to increase the shadow
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: hunter numbers, but not because you know, the better police
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: the world, because shadow hunters, their numbers are slowly dwindling,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: and you know, making more shadow hunters the traditional way
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: is taking a little too long, So Clary searches for
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: more information about her mother's whereabouts alongside Jace, her friend Simon,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: and the siblings and the Lightwood siblings. Their search does
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: lead them to Clarie's neighbor, woman named Madame Dorothy, who
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: reveals Clarire's memories were blocked after she performed a tarrort.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: Reading Clary does note that the terror card the tarot
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: cards that Madame Dorothy was using were cards that were
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: hand painted by her mother, and Madame Dorothy reveals that
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: this kind of memory block can only be performed by
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: a high warlock, and as it turns out, the high
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: war there is a high warlock in New York got
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: a warlock by the name of Magnus Bain, now magn
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: His Bain. The way he's described in the book is
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: he's of like Indonesian descent. Mm hm and uh. The
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: thing about warlocks, as I have said before, is that
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: they have some for they have some form of physical
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: deformity that makes them stand out. Sometimes it's a cloven
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: hoofs it could be clawed hands, horns, multi colored skin,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: or in Magnus's case, cat size, so his eyes look
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: like slided golden cat size. And they go to they
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: they end up approaching Magnus Bain. He's in he was
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: in the middle of celebrating his cat, Chairman Mao's birthday.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chairman.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: You know, honestly, I did not get that reference until
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: I learned the name of the Prime Minister of China
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: at the time, whose name is Chairman Mao, who was
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: chair who was Chairman Mao? And then I thought about that.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: I was just like Magnus Bain, you cheeky bitch. Anyway,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: so Bain reveals that her mother had hired had hired
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: him to cast a spell on her to block her
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: memories of the down world. The reason why Clary was
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: able to see Jason the Lightwoods at the Pandemonium was
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: because her memory spell was beginning to wear off. The
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: thing is Bain had warned Joscelyn that the older that
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Clary got, the shorter, the time frame between each spell
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: would become shorter, so the spell would wear off a
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: lot quicker as she's getting older and more mature. And
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: the thing is, he also reveals.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Hello, there go oh no.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Very something, And he does this by pulling out one
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: of his grimoars, and inscribed in the grimoire is a
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: special kind of angelic rune. So of course, if you've
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: seen the cover of the The Mortal Instruments, or you've
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: seen any of the movies, the one room that they
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: use is like this. Uh, it's kind of like I
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: don't know what the pattern is called, but it kind
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: of looks like a kind of like a chevron or
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: like an upside down, like an up an arrow pointing
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: down but stylized so it kind of looks like a
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: half figure eight. I don't know what to describe the shape.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: But this room is actually a ruin of revealing so
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: often shadow hunters inscribe. It's a permanent room that shadow
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: hunters inscribe them themselves, which helps to boost their ability
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: to see through glamours and the downworld. So he gives
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: us to her and uh after studying it, it's supposed
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: to just being able to see the room helps her
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: to hurt her memories to start clear up and make
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: it more easier to see through the downworld. While at
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: the party, Simon and Isabelle are mingling with the downworlder
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: guests and one of the downworlders kind of tricks Simon
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: into drinking a blue cocktail and Isabelle did warn him
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: not to drink it.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: But you know, a rat, Yeah, he.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Gets turned into a rat, and unfortunately a vampire mistake
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: making the rat for one of his friends picks up
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: the rat and takes off with him. So poor little
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: Simon ratt gets kidnapped.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: By a vampire unknowingly.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: Yep. So Clary and Jays have no choice but to
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: chase after the vampire and they track him down to
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: the vampire to this large vampire nests, and they do
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: manage to rescue him from these vampires and turn him
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: back into a human, but this is not before they
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: have a big confrontation with the nests. They fight. They
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: do fight off a large number of vampires and poor thing,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: he uh, poor thing.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: They managed to turn him back and he is forever
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: traumatized card.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's prevost card mm hmm.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: So let's see they take him back. So they end
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: up taking Simon back back to the institute and from
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: there and while he's recovering, Clary and Jayce share a
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: bit of an intimate moment they kiss teenage bunks bullshit. Anyway,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: The thing is that since it was Clarie's was it
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: Clarie's birthday? I think it was.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: I think it was.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, let me double check, mm hmmm mm hmm, yep,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it was her birthday. She so Jason found
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: out that it was her sixteenth birthday, and he takes
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: her up to the institute's garden and where he gives
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: her a rock made out of adamus. But this rock
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: is kind of like a tool, is a tool used
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: by shadow hunters because it has a room that causes
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: it to light up, so it's like a one little
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: bright rock. And and it's when they're in the garden
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: they share they kiss. But it was right at that
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: moment that Simon walks in and kind of gets a
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: little he gets a little butt hurt because he has
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: his own he had his own feelings for Clary, and
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: he ends up storming out of the institute and leave
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: and leaving when he showed up and Clary pulled away,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: and she kind of dismisses Jase's feelings on the matter,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: and this kind of hurts him in well, in very
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: Jace fashion, he responds with sarcasm and wit and walks away.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Heartbroken.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, you know, Clarire is kind of in a kerfuff.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: So she uh trying to figure out what she what
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: she's going to do, you know about this whole situation.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: She's in her room, she's drawing in her sketch pad,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, she still is
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: an artist who's still very passionate about her work. And
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: as she's as she's drawing, she gets distracted. And she
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: had been scribbling ruins that she had already learned from
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: the guidebook she had been given. And the thing is
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: is that she didn't realize that with these runes she'd
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: figured out an ability that she shares with her mother.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: While she was distracted, she had placed her cup of
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: like coffee it was coffee or tea, whatever quarter it was,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: it was a coffee mug. She had placed it on
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: top of her sketchbook while she was distracted, and when
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: she looks back, she realizes that her coffee mug has
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: gone completely two d yeah. And when she looked at
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: carefully examining it, she reaches down and she manages to
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: pull coffee cup out of its out of her sketchbook,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: and she realizes that she discovered her little talent of
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: being able to hide objects on paper using rooms, and
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: dawns on her. Her mother could do this, probably could
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: do the same thing, and she and she realizes she
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: thinks she knows where the Mortal cup is hidden.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: I think I know where that cup's hidden. Girl, Let's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: go talk.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to that, to that tarot deck that
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: that warlock has or the Madame Dorothy.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, Madame Dorothy is more of a just a medium.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: She's not really she doesn't have any real.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: Her mother was a Warlow, but she's a practitioner.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah yep. So she and the shadow Hunter's head back
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: to the back to her apartment and they visit Madame Dorothy.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: They convinced her to give to let her look at
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: the tarot deck and after shifting through it, she finds
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: the I believe it was the Ace of Cups or something.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, I think it was the Ace of Cups.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: And pay it onto. The cup was an exact replica,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: full down, all the way down to the detail of
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: the Mortal Cup. Now the now the shadow Hunters they
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: saw they had seen this one, this particular cup before,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: they had seen this card before, and when they saw
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: it they were like, huh, that looks like the Mortal Cup.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: The likeness is uncanny, and the players like, yeah, it
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: is and she reaches in pulls out the actual Mortal Cup.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: So they have the Mortal Cup and I'm just like, oh, like,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: oh cool, we have the cup. Now, oh ship, we
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: have the cup, and then everything and then every and
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: then everything that. Of course, you know, they found they
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: found the missing artifact that could help them find her mother,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: and of course, right when they find it, that's when
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: the ship hits the fan.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: So unfortunately for Madam Dorothy, Valentine had already gotten to
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: her and unable to find the Mortal Cup. He sets it.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: He sets bit of a trap for anybody who may
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: be coming to look for the cup, because he believed
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: that Dorothy, while she doesn't know where the cup is,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: somebody who does know may come back and speak with her.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: So what he had done was he had summoned a
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: greater demon to hide, to lie in wait. And this
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: great this particular greater demon, was a very nasty one
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: by the name of Abdon. For those of you who
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: follow Christian mythology, you'll know that Abdon was a isn't
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: depending on which version, depending on like which mythology you
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: lean more towards. In some iterations, the mythology states that
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: he is a demon, and others they say that he's
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: actually an angel. Yeah, in any case, And the Christian mythology,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: demons are just fallen angels, yeah, more or less, so
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: either way, it is interchangeable. But Abadawn in Christian mythology
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: is the demon of the Abyss, and during the apocalypse
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: he's supposed to raise out a rise of from the
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: pit and you know, the pit, and lead an army
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: of locusts and things like that that will like you know,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: terrorize the earth and blah blah.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: Blah, stand by the hands of God himself. Mm hmm, yeah, yep.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: And so the thing is is that he had possessed
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: and puppeted Madame Dorothy's body, and because of this, well,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: he uses her to open a doorway. Now, for some reason,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: in Madame Dorothy's shop, she had access to a special
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: kind of portal that typically just lets her travel anywhere
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: she wants to go. Do you just think of it
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: and it'll go. It'll just take her there. But the
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: thing is that it could also be used by demons
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: to open a portal into their dimensions, and Abadon uses
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: it to open and uses her to open a portal
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: to his dimension, and he physically starts to cross over,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: and the shadow Hunters and Clary are freaking out because
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: like it's a freaking graded demon and it attacks them.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: They defend themselves, and the thing is they're not really
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: doing so well, and but just as when they just
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: when it seems all is lost, Simon, who I guess
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: decides to pull his head out of his ass and
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: come search for Clary, shows up. And the thing is
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: Simon himself had taken archery lessons and during the fight
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: I guess Alec, who is the archer of the group,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: dropped his bow and arrow dropped his bow in his quiver,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: and Simon had managed to show up. He grabs the
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: bow and he shoots a hole through the skylight windows,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: allowing more sunlight to show through. Sunlight hits Abadon, and well,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: the thing is, demons don't do so well in sunlight,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: so Abdon gets his ah, his hold on this reality,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: like his ability, his hold on being able to appear
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: in our reality, gets disrupted, and he basically gets vanished
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: back to his They managed to close the portal and escape,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: so cool. They just had a very close They just
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: had a very close encounter with a very dangerous greater demon.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: But now that they have the cup, they know that
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: they can find They're one step closer to finding They're
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: one step closer to finding Clari's mother. They bring the
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: cup back to the Institute, and it is there that
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: Hodge reveals that he is not as reformed as most
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: people would have thought. The thing is, though I will
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: give Hodge this, he did not want. He did not
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: want to rejoin the circle. But what he does end
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: up doing. What he does end up doing is he
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: summons Valentine to the Institute. He knocks out Chase, he
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: knocks out Jase and the other the Lightwoods, and while
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: Claire is distracted, he hands over the Mortal Cup. And
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: he gives the Mortal Cup to Valentine Valentine gives owns
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: up to his end of the bargain and breaks the
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: spell that was placed over Hodge containing him in the institute.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: Now Hodge is free to leave whenever he wants. Valentine
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: takes the cup and an unconscious Jase and and flees
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: through a portal that was opened into the institut. Uh.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: Clary tries to pursue Hodge, but the thing is Hodge
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: is a fully trained shadow hunter, so she's literally no
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: match for this guy. So he does attack her. She
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: does manage to follow him outside of the institute, but
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: he confronts her in an alleyway not far from the
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: institute and uh before but before he can do anything
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: to hurt her. H Yeah, I'm losing my train of thought.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: Clari's Clari's family friend Luke shows up and uh attack
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: and defends her from Hodge. The thing is Luke shows
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: up in his furry form, because, as it turns out,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: Luke is a werewolf.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Of course he is, and he's not Luke. Sorry, rough guy,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: mind continue?
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: Sorry?
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: No, honestly, like, no, he's not that's my thought.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: See, Luke is a he was once a shadow hunter,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: and he used to be Valentine's best friend. In fact,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: he was also a part of the circle. The thing is, though,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: because of Valentine's hardcore anti downworld or belief, when Luke
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: was infected by like lycanthropy, Valentine basically just turns his
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: back on Luke, and at one point he even uh
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: traummea uh fuck, I'm like for I'm forgetting all the
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: of the woke terms here. What do people say about uh,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: you know, like when when it comes to trigger warning,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: there you go, there you go, trigger warning. At one
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: point trigger warning, Valentine even tells Luke to just kill
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: himself because he'd been turned into a werewolf. Instead of
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: doing that, Luke just ends up leaving it and joining
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: a werewolf pack. But then later on he learns of
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: the uprising and learns that Clarie's mom, Jocelyn, who was
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: also who was his best friend growing up, h had
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: fled from Idris, so he decides to track her down.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: He eventually finds her a few years later, and uh
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: and also as when he's introduced to a young Clary
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: and since then he'd been he's stuck close ah loop
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: in this. In a short period of time, he had
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: managed to take over the one of the werewolf packs
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: in New York and basically became the alpha of the pack.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: With this alpha, with this pack, they they are able
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: to track down Valentine's location and it's there she not
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: only finds her unconscious mother, her mother, so her mother.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: The way she finds her mother is in an unconscious state.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: She's chained to a bed and for some reason, no
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: matter what Clari tries to do, she won't wake up. Uh.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: That's when she also encounters Valentine, who reveals that Jocelyn
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: had taken some sort of potion that put her into
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: a deep sleep. So you know beauty, so you know,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: sleeping beauty kind of deep sleep. And and no, true
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: love's kiss will not wake her up, Oh no, nope.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: But it's also there that Clarie finds that Jace is there,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: but he's not being he's not being restrained or held
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: prisoner like her mother like she is, or her mother
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: is Valentine revealed. Jace reveals that Valentine is actually his
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: supposed dead father. Wow mm hmm, yep. So Valentine does
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: confirm that Jason is his son, which also confirms that
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: Jason Clary are siblings.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: Siblings oh it got weird.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: Well, they they probably didn't know.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: They know, they didn't know that. I mean at this point,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: but before the incident at Pandemonium, they had never met
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: each other before.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: It's fair.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that kind of kills any future thoughts of
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: romanticisms between the two of them.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: He sure does.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: The thing is is that Valentine realizes that his location
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: being compromised and his and his followers are being overwhelmed
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: by Luke's werewolves. He decides to vacate his hideout, so
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: he uses a special portal to and opens a gateway
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: into Idris. So Valentine flees through the portal into Idris.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: And the thing is is that the portal actually opened
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: itself into the countryside, just outside of the banner that
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: Jase had grew up in. And he tries to convince
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: Jace to return to Idris with him. But the thing
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: is now that Jace knows who Valentine really is. You know,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: he's very conflicted and torn because you know, he loves
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: his dad, all right. His dad wasn't a terrible well,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: growing up, his dad wasn't a terrible person. He was
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: a decent father at the very least. Yeah, if not
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: a little harsh, but still Jace refuses and Valentine steps
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: to the portal and smash it and destroys it behind
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: him because this portal was like a special like permanent portal,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: but Valentine destroys it completely concealing it. So now this
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: is pretty much where the story comes to an end.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: They managed, they managed to take Claire, Clarie's mom. They
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 3: get Clarie's mom out of the out of Valentine's hideout,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: and she is She is taken to hospital care where
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: she's placed and put under observation. But still no matter
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: what she doesn't she does not wake up, and now
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: are two star cross lovers are left to deal with
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: the fact that they now realize they can't be together
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: because they had begun to develop romantic feelings for each other,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: but now that they know that they're actually brothers, brothers
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: and sister and ain't gonna go anywhere. Yeah, ain't going going,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: so for the time being, they're left to sort out
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: their own emotions. The institute is in disarray because the leader,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: the head of the institute, basically betrayed everyone and fled
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 3: now been confirmed and is planning on building up Immortal Cup.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: So this is where the book ends. Uh, you know,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: this story wasn't very long. None of the books are
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: very long. They're being young adult youth novels. They're not
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: very young, they're not very long. Let me see here,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: how long was this book? That is the wrong that
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: is the wrong app sir?
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: Mhmm.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: You know if I if I had all of my
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: ebooks on physical copies, I would have shelves, shelves upon shelves.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 6: Sam trying to pull the book.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: Let's see here, of course, Oh yeah, that's right. I
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: didn't have this book downloaded on my phone, bitch. Oh,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: so like the ebook edition was like, uh, the e
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: book edition on iTunes is four hundred and ninety two
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: pages long. So it's pretty it's a good it's a
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: decent read, but it's very it's not that long. So
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: this so so of course, so of course this is
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: where the book ends. City of Bones, I can definitely say,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: is just more like pretty much with any pilot with
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: any pilot book, it's just the it's sets the foundation,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: the corner it's the it sets the cornerstone for how
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: the rest of the series will be played out, how
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: the story will be built on. Uh, sins, the basic
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: ideas everything. So from this u So after the City
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: of Bones, the next book in the series is called
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: City of Ashes, So it's gonna be it's definitely gonna
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: be dramatic, heroic, bold, There's gonna be a lot, there's
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of teenage auncs because we you know,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: two of the main characters are gonna be pining over
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: each other, but they can't be with each other because
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: you know, they're related. Picky yep. So that was one
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: of the biggest complaints about the story was because the romance.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: The romance in this story is was because the two
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: main characters were thought to be siblings and they still
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: had they didn't really do much to like staunch their
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: romantic feelings for each other. Now I'm not saying they
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: act on it, but still all the pining, the way
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 3: they pined after each other, it was kind of gross
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: because everyone's is working under the assumption that they're related.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: You know, yet when you follow the story, Yeah, to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: go up, you have to go. When you're following the story,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: you've reading this story for the first time, You're not
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: gonna this. You have to go based off of what
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: you know already and know what you know now is
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: the fact that they are siblings. And it's like now
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: everybody's uncomfortable, and which I gotta say is a good job.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: Good job on Cassandra Claif for making everybody uncomfortable for
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 3: the next two books. Yeah, but anyway, thank you guys
• 1:29:09
