The fireside story was something that struck me as odd back in the days when episode 4 was released or was it the fifth...
I dunno long time anyhow.
Anyway, DSOK back then was utterly convinced that his point of view was the only correct one and that the hook of a story wasn't supposed to be revealed that early on and that the suggested story of rhue being 'the one' and the only person able to break the curse and something with an amulet and stuff... was utter jackrat droppings...
Now I've downloaded the set of 6 games once more and I am ever more sure and certain that Lun did meant to tell us several things during that funny interlude.
For example: If you are to pick the 'bad ass answers' you get an interesting scene between a young boy and his wench of a mother who supposedly killed of his father and now wants to do the same to him.
I dunno weather or not I'm going to deep into this, but this reminds me of both slades position during the flashback scenes.
I also do know that its not possible that Rhue has slades memory at that point in the series...
BUT Rhue has as far as we know Serena's aura in him! (yea yea debated I know, but Jeruh did kill Serena so when 'Rhue' absorbed Jeruh's aura he also took in what was left of Serena trough Jeruh.)
So what if slade, serena and chasta's mother (who's husband is no where in view during those scenes) truly did act as in that fireside story and killed her husband? What if she truly wanted to kill the little one for a reason? This opens up a whole new possible perspective on things...
(Prolly not but meh). Why can't this just be a recollection of Rhue's own mom? well... Rhue is jeruh and jeruh seems to have fond memories of his parents during that flashback so...
Also the dialogue about that pendant seems so obvious now...
The ability to love someone locked within it... When jeruh offered that pendant to serena he 'gave away his heart with it'...
Also about rhue the only one able to help her for he is kinda important now if you saw rhue fly away in the 'best' ending.
And the comment of you're standing in a pool of blood is just macabre humor from lun when he already knew serena's head got choped off...
Anyone any ideas about this?
