But it doesn't seem that ambiguous to me. Either the one with the
power or the dark lord must die at the hand of the other, meaning one
of them has to kill the other one. Neither the dark lord nor the one
with the power can live while the other survives.

It just seems like so many people are caught up in the Prophecy that
they aren't seeing the simplicity of it. Perhaps reading too far into
it and trying to find clues and create theories in places where it is
so cut-and-dried.
