Posting from the school library... yay!!! (They have a horrible keyboard, though. Very noisy to type, which makes me distracted.)

If "twain" refers to the earlier pairs of traitors, then the meaning is relatively clear, as the "master" and the "foe" are apparently the two great enemies of the previous lines. But, if "twain" refers, rather, to those two enemies, then we have something entirely weird on our hands. What exactly, I couldn't begin to say. I'm inclined to think the first interpretation more likely. Occam's razor, you know.

I don't get it at all, but when I first skim-read this part of the prophecy, I thought: what, something like the Boss and the Henchmen in Gil's game a long time ago? Maybe indeed some DW-y thing, like, maybe just in the sense that the baddies first pick somebody to "curse" and this one later turns into a Wolf (on Day 3???). And "foe", if it's a foe of the baddies? I.e. what about some Hunter?

Honestly, I have no idea. I also don't think it has too much of a real value right now, indeed, we have two wolves now (plainly, from what Eomer said in the narration), what comes later, will simply be dealt with when it comes. Nevertheless, it's good to have at least some idea, mainly that we know how many wolves we have now, and later, how many new ones were added or whatever. Several wolf teams also sounds like an option to me. But would it mean multiple kills? I'd hope not, there's not too many of us after all.

Shasta's idea about "taking turns" actually also does not sound that impossible. That would also mean a big change (when you have to judge on basis of who killed which night etc.... it will be maybe too much confusing, but who knows. I have seen worse games, eh, Mr.Phantom?...).

Anyway, as Lommy said, as good topic as any to discuss for the moment. I actually think, quite good for start, not to just sit here and wonder.

He said: relatively. And the mere prophecy was sufficient enough for me.

Now, I just wonder what to make of Lommy's apparent rudeness, I mean come on, she may have been tired yesterday evening, but now it's morning (at least for her) and she should not be thinking that sillily...

P.S. Wow! I love to be in WW again after such a long time! It's just great!!! Will be back!!!
