Fairy queen 2

All three look around in awe,the Fairy realm or Seelie realm. It was really beautiful and breathtaking, there was even snow falling.Alexander takes the lead, follows after them.The Seelie Woods was dangerous as all three students still remembered their teacher's orders and stayed togther.

Alexander, Jason, James and Catrina are making their way to the Court.James looking around questioned," You know, for a dangerous mission, the Seelie Court's pretty peaceful."

Catrina shook her head, she clearly remembered the details from the ancient books and answered"It may look like we are being dropped inside a fairy tale.But don't let it fool you, every creature or plant's here will kill you if given the chance."

Alexander gestures towards a tree with insects are buzzing around it and said"Just look at the tree for instance?"

James questioned, "Is that blood?"having enhanced senses,he could pick up the one of the flowers of the tree had blood on it.

Alexander nodded and answered" That is called a kill tree. It would have wrapped its vines around you and torn you limb from limb.The Seeelie Queen has absolute control over the plants in this realm making it a very dangerous to be in."

All three Students became highly vigilant

Alexander warned his students "Look, in the Seelie Realm, it's not just creatures that are deadly. It's everything. If you wanna survive, don't touch, eat or smell anything. No matter how small."

Alexander, Jason, James, and Catrina stop walking when they see the palace rising up on a hill. Catrina with slight awe said, "It's so beautiful."

Alexander spoke up"Don't let it blind you. Let's go."They make their way to the palace.

Inside the Seelie Court enter an open space with a throne in the center. A Seelie brushes past Clary, touching her hair. Alexander, James, Jason, and Catrina were on their guard as the Seelie Queen also known as Amara Scarlet hair, her eyes were green and she had pointed ears

The Seelies surround them, petting them. As Alexander using the communication rune said"Don't worry they are taking away our weapons,it's a security measure."

When they're gone, they can't find her weapons anymore.

Catrina said"They even took my stele."Jason and James gave nod,then replied in unison" Yeah,mine too"

Seelie Queen rising from her throne said"You'll get them back when you leave the court."Alexander bowing said"Your Majesty… What an honor seeing you again?"

James was surprised thought the rune said"Wait, that's the queen?"

Amara smiled and replied is lovely to see you again Alexander."

The Queen approaches the trio with slight interest and curiosity says "So you are Alexander's proteges,I have heard they are the strongest ones till now."

James puffing up his chest said," Wow, word travels fast down here."

Seelie Queen nods and replies"It does. I hear whispers from the birds, the bees, and the bugs. They're all in my service."

That only made the trio warier, they didn't know the fact the Queen was a little frustrated she couldn't get more information about them. But having practice she masked it skillfully. The maids have set the table. Alexander, James, Jason, and Catrina all sit down on a pillow. The Seelie Queen is talking to some of her servants. Catrina asked through the communication runes to Alexander "I thought you said she was ancient. She looks like she hasn't even hit puberty."Alexander through the communication rune told"She is ancient. She uses Seelie magic to manipulate her age."

James could help mutter" Genius. She tries to seem all innocent and cute, but it is all an illusion to make everyone underestimate her."

Seelie queen Amara questioned with a smile"So Alexander you haven't visited in a long time?"The Queen sits down on the last pillow.Alexander nodded and answered, "I have been busy with my Shadowhunter duties, but we really should discuss business."

Seelie queen nodded understanding and said, "So was I.No about the treaty"

Both Alexander and the Queen went on and discussed the treaty seeing both soon agreed and signed it. Seelie Queen explained, "But we need additional help."

Alexander was curious as he gave a nod, as Amara continued"Nemeton is an ancient tree in a grove,it is often chosen to be the consecrated sacred meeting place for the Seelie who live in the mortal realm. The Nemeton contains powerful magic that is only vaguely understood, and it gains its power from ritual sacrifices that occur at the tree or on the telluric currents that run through it."

Alexander nodded as It was believed that any harm that came to the Nemeton would cause the surrounding towns and villages to suffer from plagues, strife, and other kinds of natural disasters.

Seelie Queen Amara spoke up"The Druids who are our descendants was given the duty is to watch over the Neameton which acts as a connection between the two worlds. So from time to time, the druids would do simple druid rituals to energize the Neameton."

Amara brought a map with spots about the world marked like Greenland, northern Africa, Toulouse in France, Zhengzhou in China, Logashkino in Siberia, and Brasília in Brazil. Amara gestured to the map and said"The portals to the Seelie realm is connected to the Neameton,so we wanted Shadowhunters you trust to protect it."

Alexander nodded and replied"Do not worry, we will make sure to guard it. This knowledge will be known to a few."

Amara smiled and nodded,she then turned to her older mature form saying"Now the business is done, you are going to have to spend time with me all day ."

Alexander winced seeing no way out he nodded, while he saw his students silently leaving"traitors"
