“Don't touch any of my weapons without my permission."
"Well, there goes my plan for selling them all on eBay," Clary muttered.
"Selling them on what?"
Clary smiled blandly at him. "A mythical place of great magical power.”

“Mighty Nyx came,

Mighty Nyx sought,

All that he could,

Of his dark lot.

In the deep night,

His kingdom rose,

Beware, great king,

Of that which grows.

Easy to conquer,

Easy to crown,

But even the strongest,

Can be cut down.

Raised in the shadows,

Reared in the night,

Your child will come,

And ascend by might.

And you, the slain,

Shall wait and see,

What other things,

A soul can be.

A body to curse,

A body to blame,

A body the earth,

Will not yet claim.

Beware the mortal,

Beneath your sky,

Crush the human,

Who’ll see you die.

Twice you’ll rise,

Twice you’ll fall,

Lest you can,

Change it all.

Or perish by day,

Perish by dawn,

The world believes,

You’re already gone.

So darken your heart,

My shadow king,

And let us see,

What war will bring.

—The Prophecy of Galleghar Nyx”

“Is life but to wake?

And death but to sleep?

I’d tell you, but then,

This secret I’ll keep.

I’m not real now,

Nor was I last night,

Or perhaps I’m wrong,

Who’s to say what’s right?

Are you having fun yet?

This is our little game,

You will lose soon enough,

Then you’ll be mine to tame.”
― Laura Thalassa, Dark Harmony
