Summary
He glances through the window, where Valas is surely sitting in the garden. “What if I passed it on to him?”
Jaheira could answer with logic: how he’d given away the dark essence in his soul when they destroyed Bhaal’s throne, how there should have been nothing left of the murder lord in him when Valas was conceived. She could answer with the truth: how she couldn’t begin to guess how divine blood flows through family lines. She could even answer with what he wants to hear: of course you haven’t, you’d know by now, just look at his sweet heart, the understanding in his eyes.
But she answers with what matters. “If you did, it won’t be stronger than what you’ve chosen to pass on. The same way it was for you, everything you gained from Gorion’s heart.”
He’s Bhaal’s second chance. He’ll kill more, than the one who came before, kill better, carve his devotion into the world’s flesh. He'll lead his temple, share his dream, shake bloody hands with the rest of the Dead Three.
His name is Valas DeVir, and he’ll become death itself.
