Chapter Eight-Final

Alec's body shuddered against soft fabrics and that alone was cause enough for him to open his eyes, squinting against the light from nearby candles.

"Alexander." Magnus' voice was soft and breathless as his beautiful face appeared in Alec's line of sight. Alec's mouth went dry as he slowly lifted his arm up, not caring that his limbs felt like lead. Magnus curled his warm, so warm hand around Alec's hand and cradled it against his just as warm cheek.

"Am I dead?" Alec rasped out in confusion.

"No, but you gave it your best shot you idiot." Jace's head popped into Alec's view from over Magnus' shoulder, a grin in place but relief evident in his eyes.

"Jace?" Alec whispered in confusion and his eyes turned to the side of his bed when a familiar hand touched his other arm, his sister was beaming at him, dried tear tracks on her cheek as she looked at him.

"Isabelle?" Alec blinked in confusion.

"We finally found you, big brother, I told you we would." Isabelle sniffed and Alec let out a soft laugh, his siblings were nothing if not stubborn.

"What happened?" Alec turned his gaze back to Magnus who he had sworn was dead at the bottom of the ocean.

"Your brother saved me before I fully drowned, with Clary's help we followed you and Valentine to the cove. We fought the Morning Stars crew where he saw Valentine dead. One of them told us which way Jonathan took you and when we got there we saw you unconscious and bleeding out by that well. We thought you were dead then you gasped back to life before passing out." Magnus summed up the events nicely and Alec nodded as he remembered what had transpired now and he silently hoped she had gotten out all right, that his blood had been enough to set her free.

"What happened back in that room Alec?" Jace asked curiously, a smile twitching at his lips when he spotted the way Magnus and Alec's fingers automatically twined together on the bed.

"Jonathan killed his father, he used my blood to break the seal on the Song of the Sea. He used it to wish his mother back, but it wasn't her. It was a wrath of some sort and it took him and I'm assuming drowned him in the well… We talked and I found out the Lightwood's dark secret and why I had to be the one to break the seal… I gave up more of my blood to set Song of the Sea free so no one could use it ever again." Alec also summed up what had happened to him, feeling exhausted as his sister helped him sip water as he spoke.

"So both of them are dead and gone then?" Isabelle asked as she absently fluffed up the pillows behind her brother, seeing how his eyes were fighting to stay open.

"Yes, it's over," Alec said firmly, fully believing that it was true.

"Thank the Gods, do you know how stressful it was trying to track you down?" Isabelle slumped in her chair and Jace nodded his agreement.

"Stressful, you really want to talk about stress right now?" Alec joked as he looked at Magnus who flashed him a soft smile.

"Sleep for now Alexander, we will be here when you wake once more." Magnus encouraged as he leaned forward to brush his lips against Alec's getting a dopy smile in return as Alec's eyes closed and head turned to the side as sleep took him once more.

"So Captain Isabelle Lightwood huh?" Alec nudged his sister as the two stood at the bow of the Prince, looking at the Raziel together a day or so later when Alec had gotten his strength back and had a few nights of rest with Magnus curled up at his side.

"It's a good look for me don't you think?" Isabelle tipped her hat at Alec playfully, her eyes sparkling at her brother finally being beside her again.

"It looks right on you, Captain." Alec smiled and gave a mock bow that Isabelle returned with a mock curtsey.

"Magnus looks right on you big brother," Isabelle tipped her chin at the obvious marks just above the collar of Alec's shirt. Alec flushed but made no move to cover the mark, in fact, his back straightened up like he was proud of the mark.

"I think so too when I thought I lost him… It was like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I can't experience that again, I just can't." Alec said softly as he eyed his sister from the corner of his eyes.

"I know big brother, we won't force you to either. If this is your choice then we will accept it." Isabelle pulled her brother into a tight hug, knowing that when they left the Prince behind they would be leaving Alec behind as well.

"Thank you, Isabelle." Alec smiled as he kissed the side of her temple.

"I think I may be losing my first mate and Clary as well, look at them." Isabelle chuckled as she nodded at the deck behind them. Simon and Clary were sitting on the railings, talking a million miles per hour while Jace and Raphael danced around each other, swords in hand and smirks on their faces.

"You could always stay here?" Alec suggested as he looked up at the higher deck where Magnus was standing by the wheel, one hand casually steering it. He was outlined in the sun and looked like a god of legends; Magnus caught his eyes and gave Alec a wink and a tip of his hat making Alec smile and blush.

"…That's a good idea, I think maybe in the future Captain Lightwood will make a comeback, I think I can hang up my hat for now at least." Isabelle's hip bumped Alec's before sauntering down the deck leaving Alec standing there feeling more at peace than he ever had before. The sun was warm on his face, the taste of salt water and Magnus lingering on his lips and the sense of freedom surrounding him.

"Thank you." A gentle voice was carried on the sea's breeze and it just made Alec smile wider before he settled a hand on the sword that was now on his hip before he sauntered off to stand by his Captain and his love, excited to see what the ocean would bring them next.
