Fought Demons Quote by Cassandra Clare
““He'd fought demons before. Deep down in his soul, something was stirring. Something that made the seraph blade blaze brighter in his hand. Something that made him understand the look on Diego's face as he turned to Diana and said, 'Orders?' 'Kill them all, obviously,' Diana said, and the Centurions began to pour down the stairs.””
