    Cassandra Clare
    “La idea de Parabatai viene de una vieja historia, la de Jonathan y David. Y así ocurrió.... que el alma de Jonathan estaba unida con el alma de David, y Jonathan lo amaba con su propia alma... Entonces, Jonathan y David hicieron un pacto, porque lo amaba como su propia alma. Eran dos guerreros, y sus almas estaban unidas por el cielo, de ahí Jonathan Cazador de sombras tuvo la idea de los parabatai, e incluyo la ceremonia en la ley.”
