8 years later, Mysteria had become the strongest ever, although she was only sixteen now. The rest were adults and could go to battle. Mysteria had now been preferred to be called 'Myst'.
When others were sent to kill demons, she had to stay behind and do whatever housework there was.
She had fallen asleep earlier. Her adoptive mother came in and about to say goodnight, but she looked over at Myst and screamed. Robert had come rushing in and his gaze looked directly at Myst. Dark magic was swarming around her body, her cat eyes open but not blinking.
"Call Magnus, and hurry!" A little while later Magnus had arrived and got rid of the dark magic. He lifted her head and rested it on his leg. "My little Tessa," He said softly. "We are finally together again after sixteen years, my daughter." Robert and Maryse were confused.
After Magnus came out of the room, Robert blurted out, "daughter? Warlocks can't have children." Magnus smiled. "I found her on the streets in Italy, sixteen years ago. I found her warlocks mark, her eyes. I knew we were bound somehow, cat eyes are rare. I couldn't look after her then, so I gave her to a lady who couldn't have children of her own. Little did I know that the lady was torturing her, giving her blood of every type of Downworlder, and of a Shadowhunter. She then gave her away to you, as the whole Downworld was looking for her, wanting her into their pack or clan. As I recall in the letter, she said it wasn't safe. I never thought I would see her again."
"You called her Tessa?" Robert asked. "I had known someone called Tessa a long time ago. I had named her after her. Ever heard of Theresa Gray? The shape-changer? She goes by her warlock name now, Gray, instead of her Shadowhunter name."
"Yes, I have heard of her before. Around the time of Benedict, Gabriel and Gideon Lightwood." Said Maryse, finally. "Do you want her back at all." "I am not sure yet, Maryse. I shall let you know when I am ready." Said Magnus softly. After asking them to let Myst know that her father was here when she wakes up, Magnus left.

Mysteria had woken up after a while. She had a major headache which she easily fixed with an iratze. She got out of bed and walked to the main part of the institute where they worked. Myst had seen them coming over to her, her knees had buckled and she had collapsed on the floor. "Myst!" Maryse cried out. "What do you need?"
"Jem Carstairs." Myst croaked.
"Who is he?" Asked Izzy.
"Find Jem Carstairs." Myst repeated, before her eyes fluttered shut.
