“Leo felt trapped. He’d once been stuck in a cave on top of Pikes Peak, surrounded by a pack of werewolves. Another time he’d been stuck in an abandoned factory with a family of evil Cyclopes. But this—standing in an open clearing with a dozen pretty girls—was much worse.”
― Rick Riordan, The Demigod Diaries

“Perhaps there isn’t anything Alec is afraid of.”
Magnus glanced at Alec and raised his eyebrows. “Boo,” he said.
Jace was grinning. “Come on, surely you’ve got a phobia or two. What scares you?”
Alec thought for a moment. “Spiders,” he said.
Clary turned to Luke. “Have you got a spider anywhere?”
Luke looked exasperated. “Why would I have a spider? Do I look like someone who would collect them?”
“No offense,” Jace said, “But you kind of do.”
“You know”---Alec’s tone was sour---”Maybe this was a stupid experiment.”
“What about the dark?” Clary suggested. “We could lock you in the basement.”
“I’m a demon hunter,” Alec said, with exaggerated patience. “Clearly, I am not afraid of the dark.”

“يحيا الرئيس للأبد ... يحيا هو الفرد الصمد

له صِفاتُ ربنا ... لكنه له ولد

به نعوذ مِن جَوَىً ... وحاسِدٍ إذا حسد

به نلوذ دائماً ... مِن فاقة ومِن كمد

نراه مع عدونا ... يطفح صبراً وجَلـَد

لكنه مع كل أهلِ ... أرضِنا كما الأسد

نحبه بالطوع أو بالكَرهِ ذلك الرَشَد

يعيش في تقشفٍ ... وفي الفلوس قد زهد

لذاك ربي خصّه ... أرصدة ً بما حَوَت

مكتملٌ وكاملٌ ... لذاك ليس يُنتـَقد

الصالحون حوله ... وليس فيهم مَن فسد

دوماً يصون مالنا ... وصادقٌ إذا وعد

قد كان دوماً كادحاً ... والحق مَن جَدَّ وَجَد

قد كان دوما نابغاً ... وليس فيه مِن عُقـَـد

وذِكْره في صادق ... القرآن فعلاً قد وَرَد

واقرأ إذا كذبتني ... آخِر سورة البلد

يا رب طـَوِّل عُمرَه وعَهدَه ..... إلى الأبد”

“You should have taken me with you," I whisper to him. Then I lean my head against his and begin to cry. In my mind, I make a silent promise to my brother's killer.

I will hunt you down. I will scour the streets of Los Angeles for you. Search every street in the Republic if I have to. I will trick you and deceive you, lie, cheat and steal to find you, tempt you out of your hiding place, and chase you until you have nowhere else to run. I make you this promise: your life is mine.”
― Marie Lu, Legend
