Recently I\u2019ve resumed my \u201cAbout the Characters\u201d posts that focus on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night<\/a> series \u2014 because \u201cI think it\u2019s the presence of the smaller characters that \u201cmakes\u201d a story, creating texture around the main points of view.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018 “But how in Haarth,” said Var, who had been eyeing Kalan sharply out of his narrow eyes, “did you end up with the Heir?” <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a long story.” Kalan shifted uncomfortably.\u00a0 “But what about your battle?\u00a0 Did you really call down the Golden Fire?” <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u201cThe bedtime stories are true,\u201d Var said, urging his horse forward while Vern followed more slowly, his dark face set. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBootlickers,\u201d Boras said contemptuously. \u201cIt\u2019s as we\u2019ve always thought, you\u2019ve abandoned your birthright to grovel at the warrior kind\u2019s feet.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Var went white. \u201cThat\u2019s not true\u2014\u201d he began, but Asantir checked him with a gesture.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re baiting you, Var,\u201d she said quietly. \u201cDon\u2019t let them.\u201d The young priest nodded, pressing his lips together tightly.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
