"I've had enough of your snarky sadistic comments. If you dare disrespect our guests again, I'll have you de-runed." He seethed. The Shadowhunter began stuttering. "Sorry, it's just a rumor. It won't happen again sir." He whispered. Alec let go of his tight grip, revealing bruises on the other man. Good, Alec thought.

He deserves it. Alec walked back to his place and began greeting everyone. Luke came next, then Raphael, then Meliorn. Finally, the 2 members of the council arrived. "Alec Lightwood." The tall one addressed, extending a hand. Alec shook it firmly. He had black hair with silver peeking through, crystal blue eyes, and a peculiar scar on his left eyebrow.

He was pretty good looking, well at least for an older man. Alec found himself smiling, which was rare unless he forced it. "My name is Charles Wayburn. This is Jia Penhallow. We're members of the council. We're willing to hear about your ideas about Valentine Morgenstern." Alec was liking this man already.

He was pretty nice, and much more polite than any other council member he met. Next to him, a lady in her late 50s was present. She had brown hair and brown eyes. Her dress was elegant and fitting. "Thank you for coming. We're more than happy to have you here."

Alec led them in and the door was closed. Charles had a twinkle in his eye as he took a seat next to Magnus. Alec took a deep breath as he looked at the entire council. "Good morning everyone. As you all can see, we have been joined by 2 of the respected members of the council. Mr. Charles Wayburn and Ms. Jia Penhallow." Charles let out a humble laugh.
