on the third book of the herals mage trilogy

[adventine]

 If I find out that Stefan is actually NOT the reincarnation of Tylendel's soul 18 years after the events which caused the blasting open of Vanyel's Gifts, I WILL BE SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WORLD. You hear me, Lackey? SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED.

That is the only scenario which I can excuse this convoluted pedophilic farce of a relationship.

EDIT:
As usual, my Spidey senses are correct. Still, execution-wise, it just flopped.
