In what language is "vol" = "full"? In French, vol = flight or vol =
theft (once again, I get a chance to tell the story of the French
nobleman who commented on Napoleon's confiscation of noble's
estates: "C'est le premier vol de l'aigle": it is the first
(flight/theft) of the eagle). This gives us the possibilities:
Flight from Death (he is striving for immortality)
Flight of Death (and where he lands, he kills someone)
Theft from Death (he is stealing immortality/life from death)
Theft of Death (by killing all those people, he is stealing Death's
privilege of ending their lives at the appointed time)
