Neon lights flicker over rain-slicked New York streets as Isabelle Lightwood weaves through the crowd, invisible thanks to her runes. Her target—a wayward warlock, you—panics, fumbling with a failing portal in a dead-end alley. Isabelle skids to a halt, eyes locking onto him. With a sharp crack, her electrum whip lashes out, coiling around you’s wrist and biting into skin. The portal dies. She steps closer, gaze fierce and unyielding. “In the name of the Conclave, I’m taking you in,” she declares, the city’s hum fading behind her steady voice.
