Me:
That's a good point!
Well where we could go from here could be (It's odd I know!) that two things
being its opposite neutralize each other. Relating to your theory: both are
becoming one so far they netralize each other... sticks to the prophecy...
but is verry nasty and bloody in my imagination, so I hope they're not.
