Just got done reading Vol. 18 of the Dark Horse release and there are a of couple things I came across which didn't make much sense to me.
First question is a quick one. At the part where Farnese and the bird guy enter Mozgus' chamber, Mozgus says that a sage was once imprisoned in the tower by King Gaiseric and was tortured. I thought that Gaiseric was supposed to be one of the good guys, and maybe even the Skull Night..what gives?
Now the next question i think i understand, but would like to hear what others think.
During the conversation between Guts and Skull Knight, the Skull Knight says:
"The world is as moonlight reflected on the water's surface.
The moons light will not be extinguished. So long as the moon exists in the sky, moonlight will remain on the water...
...And this is a thing that already was.
What will follow now is a shadow... No more than a shadow cast high above the earth ...By light from a distant dying sun."
Then Skull Knight says:
"We already subsist... Within the current of causality.
We who exist beyond the physical are still merely shadows on the water"
Then finishes with:
"Maybe you aren't a shadow on the water... But instead, a fish that breaches water's surface"
What confuses me the most is the first part that Skull Knight says, but what i gather from the other 2 parts is that what Skull Knight is trying to say is that Guts would normally be bound by fate (death), but since he lives within the interstice (due to the brand) he may be exempt from it (fish breaching water's surface)
Anybody have a different interpretation of this?
