: Awesome, finally a generally accepted theory, and for
: good reason too. Alric must have been present when the
: Shade form of Mazzarin (which was forced upon him
: after his defeat) collapsed the Shrine onto the living
: Sinis...
: BUT I think Sinis was a Dark avatar when that happened,
: perhaps he did not want to submit to Shadehood, so
: Mazzarin figured "then I must kill him so his
: body can be shadified since he won't agree
: personally." Why do I think this?
: I believe Sinis was Dark anyway but did not agree to
: Shadehood for some unknown reason because: the way
: Alric talked to him. "I thought I'd seen the last
: of you" doesn't sound like something you would
: say to a former fellow Light Avatar, right?
: Whether Sinis was originally Light or Dark doesn't really
: matter much now that we agree how Alric was present
: during that event (because it was the Shade Mazzarin,
: who DID exist in Alric's time, not the real, living
: Mazz). But reply with your ideas anyway, I'd like to
: hear them.
I don't agree that Alric was present, though. :-) I said I think that was the *original* plotline. Like so many other elements--Alric's death after the final level, the 500-year Light and Dark ages--it got incompletely overwritten in the final version of Myth.
