I was watching the dark, hair boy watched Snow White left, heading to the subway station. They should have known better than think I’d easily give up knowing what and who they were. The boy started walking back to where he and Snow White came from when she was already out of our view. I silently followed him. He turned o an alley I know will lead him in a dead end. I can’t help but smirked, the boy knew I’m following him and Snow White but instead of confronting me right away, he makes sure Snow White’s safety first, something I approve, not that I had an intention of hurting them anyway. I just want some answers to my questions.

“I know you’ve been following us.” He said, his back was turned to me but I saw his hand pulled out a pen, which was a sword he turned to a pen earlier. I’ve seen a lot of weapon in my life time – Maellartach (The Mortal sword) and Glorious – but never a sword that can turn into a ballpoint pen. What kind of magic do this boy and Snow White possess?

I moved out of the shadows, finding no reason to hide anymore that he busted me. I casually leaned on the wall, putting my hands inside my pocket to make me look bored. I must be getting rusty or this boy might be a very well trained soldier too like me. Even Snow White, who looked like she just stepped out from one of Izzy’s fashion magazine, was good at fighting. I noticed a trident and SPQR mark on his forearm, which only made me more curious about them.

“Didn’t you understand a single word we said to you?”

“What’s the fun in that?”

He uncapped his pen, turning it to a bronze sword again. “Fine, I’ll give you a good time.” He charged to me and I quickly draw out a seraph blade, wishing I brought a sword with me to have a fair fight with him.

“Hagith.” I named my seraph blade then it blazed up brightly. I blocked his sword with my dagger, our swords clashed with each other, forming a cross. I jumped back, away from him. We circled each other, waiting for the right opportunity to attack. Roman boy jumped at me and brought his sword across my chest, but I was able to stop the blade again just in time. I lunged but he easily dodged my attack then used his shoulder to push my back. I staggered forward, momentarily losing my balance.

When I find my footing again, I turned to face him, grinning broadly. He was good; I have to give that to him. It had been a long time since I met someone who can give me a fight this good. “You do know how to have a good time.”

“You just don’t know when to give up, do you?” He scowled.

“Give up doesn’t exist in my vocabulary.”

Roman boy was about to say something back to me but a familiar female voice interrupted it. “Am I late to the party?”

She was the girl with him earlier. I shook my head, still grinning. The girl reminded me of Clary, stubborn and always does the opposite of what you told her to do.

“Oh gods! What are you doing here? You’re supposed to go home!” He scolded Snow White.

“And let you have all the fun?”

“We’re not playing a game!”

“Someone’s here!” I called their attention. They both turned their heads towards me.

“What do you want from us?” Roman boy asked me, sounding tired.

“I want to know what you are.”

“It’s too dangerous. So take my advice, forget about meeting us.” He insisted.

“I face danger every day.” I pointed out. “You just saw me hunt demon, don’t you?”

The two of them shared a look, a silent conversation then Roman boy glared at me. Snow White seemed to be interested to know more about what I am as much as I want to know about what they are.

“Here’s a deal. You get to ask us a question every time you answer one of ours.” Snow White offered their proposition to me, obviously taking the reins from Roman boy. Thank the Angels; this boy had a girl who has brains with him to come up with a proposition like this.

“Deal.” I agreed.

“What are you?” She immediately fired the million dollar question.

“I’m a shadowhunter. We’re sometimes called Nephilim.” I answered.

“A what?” Roman boy asked, a dumb look was on his face.

Snow White ignored her companion’s question. “Aren’t Nephilim described like monsters in the Bible?” She asked me, confusion was all over her beautiful face. Yes, she was beautiful and just because I have a girlfriend doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate to look at other girls every now and then, but still Clary will forever be the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.

“You read the Bible?” Roman boy asked her.

“Yes. You don’t?”

“No, I don’t. My mom didn’t raise me religious.”

“It’s my turn to ask.” I reminded them.

“Go ahead.” She told me.

“What are you?”

They looked at each other again, which I’m slowly becoming irritated with. “We’re demigods.”

“Like the kids of the Greek gods with mortals in the mythology?” I asked. Okay, so the twenty question game was getting in my nerves. I want answers quick. Does this mean Greek gods really exist? It suddenly drowns to me the tenet of the Shadowhunters’ belief. All stories are true. There was no one religion, no one truth and no myth lacked meaning. Isn’t my race also a story ripped from the pages of the Bible? I wanted to laugh but too stunned to do so. (If you’re familiar with the ‘All stories are true’ quote it came from City of Fallen Angels. Just to avoid being accused of plagiarism from the readers of the book. ^_^)

“My question first.” She said.

I frowned, remembering her question earlier. “Do I look like a monster to you? You probably should blame it to the people that translate the Bible for describing us as monsters.”

She nodded her head, whether because she understands my answer or she was pretending to understand it. “As for your question, yes, we are the off-spring of the gods and mortal from the Greek mythology.” She answered.

“This is enough. You know now what we are and we know now what you are. Your curiosity must be satisfied now.” Demigod boy interjected.

“Actually, I still have more questions.” I told him. “Ask me any question.”

“Correct me if I’m wrong, Nephilim are half-angel and half-human. Does that mean one of your parents is an angel?”

“In the Bible Nephilim were the offspring of human and angels, but Shadowhunters were created when Jonathan Shadowhunter summon the Angel Raziel, who mixed his own blood with the blood of men in the mortal cup, and gave to them to drink. Those who drink the angel’s blood became shadowhunters, as did their children and their children’s children.” I answered, giving them the summary version of the story. “Who are you?” I asked since I’m getting tired of naming them Snow White and Roman/demigod boy.

“Who are you?” Demigod boy shot back to me.

“You know the rule; you need to answer my question first before I answer yours.” I told him.

“As far as I can remember the rule said, you can ask as a question if you answer ours. We never say that we need to answer your questions at all.” She clears it up. “But I’ll tell you who I am. I’m Cassandra, everybody call me Cassy though.”

“Cassandra, isn’t she the insane sister of Paris?” I asked, recalling the story of Iliad that I’ve read when I was around nine.

She narrowed her eyes. “She’s not insane but cursed.” She defended.

“Wait! Don’t tell me you are the original Cassandra?”

“Fortunately I’m not. I’m only named after her.” She answered. “That’s two questions for me. Who are you?”

“You can be a good trader, you know.” I grinned. “I’m Jace Lightwood.”

“Under normal circumstances, I’d say it’s nice to meet you Jace but –” Cassandra was interrupted by Demigod boy.

“It’s not nice to meet you at all.”

She ignored what he said and changed the topic. “You said that those creatures we just killed were demons. What do you specifically call them? I’ve never seen those things before.” she asked me.

“Ah. We call them Moloch demon. They like to fight in groups.” I replied.

“Are we done with the history lesson?” Demigod boy asked with pure annoyance. Cassandra shot him a dirty look, and Demigod boy huffed but didn’t make any comment.

“You said that you’re an offspring of Greek gods but why is that you have a SPQR mark on your forearm? It stands for Senatus Populusque Romanus, if translated in English it’s “The Senate and People of Rome”, it’s Roman.”

“That’s none of your business.” Demigod boy said with complete irritation. I get that a lot, so it doesn’t really bother me.

“It’s his to explain not mine.” Cassy agreed to him with a shrugged. “I guess that’s all I can tell you about us.”

“He still didn’t tell me his name.” I insisted, wanting to prolong the conversation for some reason.

“Jackson. Percy Jackson.” He grumbled and for some reason Cassy laughed, ending up earning a glare from Percy. “Now you know what we are stop following us and forget about meeting us.”

“It’s for the better to keep our worlds apart from each other.” She once again agreed to Percy.

“Why keep the two worlds apart?”

“The two worlds are separated for a reason. I don’t know why and it’s better to keep it that way.” Percy answered as if he experienced meeting another world of different myth and it didn’t end up very well.

“But we meet. I believe that it’s because the two worlds are supposed to finally get to know each other.” I reasoned out.

“Coincidence.” He said but it seemed to me that he didn’t believe his own words.

“There is no such thing as coincidence. And I agree with Jace, if the two worlds are not supposed to know about each others’ existence the gods or someone will prevent it from happening. So why let us meet now? Someone made us meet on purpose.” Cassy voiced out her opinion. She looked very young and yet she talked so intelligently. Snow White was slowly earning my respect and something about her made me want to protect her, not in a way I want to protect Clary because I love her but something else, like I’m suppose to know her.

“But who might that be? Any enemy you know?” I asked them.

“Just let it go.” Percy said, still persistent about keeping the two worlds apart.
