Perfect Timing, Or A Longer Cycle?

Something just occurred to me. The complete Cycle is four Eras long. It goes like this:

Leveller-Connacht from east beats Hero-Alric from west, with Comet from east, ushering in Dark Age.
Hero-Alric from east beats Leveller-Connacht from west, with Comet from west, ushering in Light Age.
Leveller-Alric from east beats Hero-Connacht from west, with Comet from east, ushering in Dark Age.
Hero-Connacht from east beats Leveller-Alric from west, with Comet from west, ushering in Light Age.

Now, we're right at the dawn of the Fifth Era, and the cycle suddenly seems to be broken. And it occurred to me, perfect timing! The cycle has looped through one time, and right as it's about to start again, it's broken. Perhaps it was only meant to run through once?

Or, to postulate a completely unsupported theory spawned only by the idea that the cycle seems to have TRIED to run through this Era, what if the complete cycle is actually eight Eras long, and every four, the pattern of victory flip-flops, with the west always winning instead of the east? So this half of it, the fifth through eigth eras, should go like this:

Hero-Alric from west beats Leveller-Connacht from west, with Comet from east, ushering in Light Age.
Leveller-Connacht from east beats Hero-Alric from west, with Comet from west, ushering in Dark Age.
Hero-Connacht from west beats Leveller-Alric from west, with Comet from east, ushering in Light Age.
Leveller-Alric from east beats Hero-Connacht from west, with Comet from west, ushering in Dark Age.

We would be in the first part of that. Lets check the facts. Do we have a Hero-Alric? Yes, Alric. Is he from the west? Yes. Do we have a Leveller-Connacht? Yes, Balor. Is he from the east? Yes. Is the Comet from the east? Yes. Is this a Light Age? It certainly seems that way.

So it looks like this theory isn't completely unsupported after all. Whatchall think?
