Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from\u00a0The Heir of Night<\/em><\/a>, but now I\u2019m continuing on with minor characters from both\u00a0The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Daughter of Blood<\/em><\/a>\u00a0simultaneously \u2014 in alphabetical order, of course!<\/p>\n

Arguably, Hylcarian is not a minor character in terms of significance, but fits the category re page and point-of-view time .<\/p>\n

“Malian<\/em>,” Yorindesarinen’s mindvoice was both patient and stern, “…There is no time and no other option. You must do your duty.\u00a0 The Fire<\/em>,” she added, “is called Hylcarian.\u00a0 He is Night’s oldest ally, bound to your House from the beginning<\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The portal tore open almost directly in front of the elm branch where Malian lay. She recognized the power that surged through from the grounds of Tenneward Lodge\u2014and that what she had encountered then was only the shadow of the entity that was arriving now. For a split second it reminded her of Hylcarian\u2014but the flames that ignited around the edges of the portal were black, and the force behind them was greater than anything she had ever felt before, even in the heart of the Old Keep.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAre you still there?\u201d Malian cast the mindwhisper toward her last memory of Hylcarian, a slender bridge across the leagues of darkness between Aeris and the Derai Wall. Yet the only answer was the night breeze, speaking of emptiness and distance as it had throughout her exile.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
