Confronting Nihil [2]
"Samael, also known as Samael Eveningstar, is one of the three sons of the Mother of All, Ymir," he began.
"He is also the younger brother of Eden Silverstar and Lucifer Morningstar."
I fell silent, struggling to process Nihil's words.
Eden's younger brother?

A cold realization crept over me, one I desperately didn't want to acknowledge. "His reincarnation?" I asked.
Nihil chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Not quite exactly."
"Then what?" I demanded.
"You are his Vessel," Nihil said.
"Vessel?" I repeated, stunned.
The concept was almost too familiar...
