↳ The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

“When I was nine, my father gave me a falcon. He told me to make it obedient. I was supposed to keep the bird blind, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Instead, I touched and stroked its wings until it trusted me. I tamed it to perfection. I took it to my father expecting him to be proud of what I’d done. He said, ‘I told you to make it obedient. Instead, you taught it to love you. You didn’t tame it. You broke it’. He took the bird and broke its neck. I cried all night, and I never cried again.”
