Jocelyn finally introduced Tessa Gray to her daughter which later reminisce her long life journey about being in love with a Shadowhunter. Brother Zachariah later then appeared with everyone sharing also his past life before the Brotherhood.

In the New York institute, Clary was been called by her mother Jocelyn who is now currently working in the Institute together with the Lightwoods. Clary hurriedly prepare herself to go to the place. She called her boyfriend to meet her later together with Alec and the others.

"Sure. I'll see you at four." he said the Clary hung up. She called for a taxi to drive her to the abandoned church but in a Nephilim's mind, it was the New York Institute. A few minutes, she took some cash in her purse giving it to the driver. Clary opened the door of the cab then left stood at the entrance doorway. She leaned forward putting her palm on the door then chant something.

"I. Clarissa Morgernstern wished to enter for uhh... emergenceny reasons" The door opened itself stepping forward to the hall. Shetried to find the lively cat, Church but couldn't. The place was still filed with Angelic Runes with very fine paintings of Alicante; The place of Nephilim and Shadowhunters like them.

On the deeper part of the hallway stood a small replica of Angel Raziel , the one who gave The Mortal Instruments to the first Shadowhunter to live, Jonathan Shadowhunter. She pay her respect to the Angel by kneeling down at the non-living thing as she continued to walk towards a door with runes, like it was some kind of sacred passageway.

Clary pressed the up button hearing a contraption moves. The door flew open revealing a woman with jet black hair and eyes, a tight black sando with black cardigan on top of it all. A matching ripped up jeans with a five inch stilletos. Clary was suprised to see Maryse Lightwood. She thought that she was at the Silent City for to arrange Sebastian's body and for a proper burial.

Maryse smiled at Clary hugging the child. The Lightwood's treated Clary as their own child despite being the child of Valentine Morgenstern. She asked Maryse if she had saw her mother. The older woman said that she is in the library with a female warlock accompanying her.

"Why would she bring a warlock in the Institute?" she said.

"Apperantly she is infact a special warlock, Clary. The Clave knew her and so does your mother. I suspect you better get in there already. They're waiting for you." Maryse said patting her head leaving Clary on the opened door.

The female warlock. Is she the same person who did the ritual when I was still a baby? Clary thought. Finally she'll know the answers to all of her unaswered questions but she's scared for the truth she would hear. She shook her head, leaving that thought pressing the down button.

In the library, Clary saw her mother talking to a familiar face. It was weird that she knew the female warlock. Nostalgia was brewing in the room. Jocelyn stood as she saw her daughter. Even the Warlock greeted Clary with grace. I know this person. Clary thought then scooted over towards Jocelyn.

"Clary. I want you to meet Tessa Gray. Tessa this is my daughter-"

"I know everything about her.  Clarissa Morgenstern. It is a pleasure to be your acquaintance." Tessa said.
