And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she said,

But place does not know where You are.
In my subsistence is my annihilation;
In my annihilation, I remain You.

"I don't want tea," said Clary, with a muffled force. "I want to find my mother. And then I want to find out who took her in the first place, and I want to kill them."
