parabatai

Value your parabatai," he said. "For it is a precious bond. All love is precious. It is why we do what we do. Why do we fight demons? Why are they not fit custodians of this world? What makes us better? It is because they do not build, but destroy. They do not love, but hate only. We are human and fallible, we Shadowhunters. But if we did not have the capability to love, we could not guard humans; we must love to guard them. My parabatai, he loved like few ever could love, with all and everything. I see you are like that too; it burns more brightly in you than the fire of Heaven

There is more to living than not dying," he said. "Look at the way you live, Will. You burn as bright as a star.

Magnus rolled onto his back and put his feet up on the arm of the sofa. __hat do you care if Alec__ miserable?_ __hat do I care?_ Jace said, so loudly that Chairman Meow rolled off the couch and landed on the floor. __f course I care about Alec; he__ my best friend, my parabatai. And he__ unhappy. And so are you, by the look of things. Takeout containers everywhere, you haven__ done anything to fix up the place, your cat looks dead__ __e__ not dead.

You don't have to do this.""I think I do," Julian said. "I remember making a vow to that affect.""Whither thou goest, i will go, whatever stupid thing you do, i shall do also'." Emma said. "Was that the vow?

A Mark that spoke of loss was still a Mark, a remembrance. You could not lose something you never had.

Whither thou goest, I will go;Where thou diest, will I dieAnd there will I be buried:The Angel do so to me, and more also,If aught but death part thee and me.

You__e got a lot of responsibility now,_ Jace said to Julian. __ou__l have to make sure Emma winds up with a guy who deserves her._ Julian was strangely white-faced. Maybe he was feeling the effects of the ceremony, Emma thought. It had been strong magic; she still felt it sizzling through her blood like champagne bubbles. But Jules looked as if he__ been slapped.__hat about me?_ Emma said, quickly. __on__ I have to make sure Jules winds up with someone who deserves him?___bsolutely. I did it for Alec, Alec did it for me _ well, actually, he hated Clary at first, but he came around._ __ BET you didn__ like Magnus much, either,_ said Julian, still with the same odd, stiff look on his face.__aybe not,_ said Jace, __ut I never would have said so.___ecause it would have hurt Alec__ feelings?_ Emma asked.__o,_ said Jace, __ecause Magnus would have turned me into a hat rack.

Wither thou goest, I will go; thy people shall by my people; where thou diest, will I die, and there I be buried.

We are bound together, Emma, bound together__ breathe when you breathe, I bleed when you bleed, I__ yours and you__e mine, you__e always been mine, and I have always, always belonged to you!

And yet here he was, looking at Jem Carstairs, a boy so fragile-looking that he appeared to be made out of glass, with the hardness of his expression slowly dissolving into tentative uncertainty. "You are not really dying," he said, the oddest tone to his voice, "are you?"Jem nodded. "So they tell me.""I am sorry," Will said."No", Jem said softly. He drew his jacket aside and took a knife from the belt at his waist. "Don't be ordinary like that. Don't say you're sorry. Say you'll train with me."He held the knife to Will, hilt first. Charlotte held her breath, afraid to move. She felt as if she were watching something very important happen, though she could not have said what.Will reached out and took the knife, his eyes never leaving Jem's face. His fingers brushed the other boy's as he took the weapon from him. It was the first time, Charlotte thought that she had ever seen him touch any other person willingly."I'll train with you," he said.
