Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-87.1.1.142-20160215170926

Since going on creating crazy theories about what happened, what will happen and whatever is fun, let me suggest a theory of mine.

Before i explain this theory, though, i want to say: I do think that Pyrrha is dead and she won't come back, at least not physically. This is what i believe is the most likely development. Maybe she will play some role in the future in a sort of spirit form or whatever, but she isn't alive nor she will be resurrected. You can say that i'm the first one that doesn't believe in my own theory :p.

However, i do admit that the circumstances are such that I can't just say "she is 100% dead" like i could if, let's say, her body was left behind.

Now, i apologies for the veeeeery long post. I hope it will be easy to read, though. I divided it into paragraphs for a better presentation.

INTRO

So, about my theory... it's actually nothing particularly new or original, and is similar to what other people said: maybe Cinder didn't incenerate Pyrrha, but just "teleported" her somewhere else". I know the sad true is most surely that she was reduced to ashes, but for now humor me for a while and let's pretend otherwise.

But for what reason? and hey, she shot an arrow in the middle of her chest, she must be dead! Before going answering at these objections, let's point our attention to a couple of interesting points:

SALEM AND THE CREATURES OF GRIMM

Who really is Salem, and what exactly is her objective? We don't know yet. However, one thing that has already been widely speculated and seems actually quite reasonable is that she has something to do with the creatures of grimm. On this point, we have seen Cinder, who probably works for Salem, kind of interacting with the huge dragon grim. More importantly, Cinder used a bug-like grim against Amber. Now, what strikes me about that scene is how particular that grim is. It's nothing like anything we have seen before. More importantly, it seems like it was created just to be used like that, as if someone designed it for that purpose. That someone would be Salem, of course, who seems to have some power who let her create, and prossibly control, creatures of grimm.

THE LIST

As everyone knows, back in season 2 Cinder put Pyrrha in some kind of list. Now, that may very well be a "list of person we should kill if we have the chance because the could pose some problems later on". But maybe, it could also be a "list of persons we can make use of". This is important because it would explain why she would teleport Pyrrha away. But for what purpose? Keep on reading...

PYRRHA'S BODY AND SOUL

So, let's say Cinder tought Pyrrha could have been usefull and send them away. Where? to Salem of course. But what exactly did she send?

Unfortunately, even in this theory what was sent wasn't our Pyrrha Nikos, that we all love. Only her body.

Why do i think that? as i said before, Salem can create grimms. What my theory is about is that wants to create powerful grims to execute her plans whatever that is. So i tought that maybe she needs strong people to create powerful grimms. However, i want to remember a little detail: creatures of grimm do not have an aura, or, if you want, a soul.

Because of that, Cinder basically killed Pyrrha ( Pyrrha, no!! T_T ), and the latter's aura left her body. Only the body was sent to Salem, so that she could create something from it. Who knows, maybe some kind of powerful human-like grimm soldier.

So, what will it be of Pyrrha? i think there are two kind of possible scenario...

PYRRHA'S DESTINY

Bad scenario: Grimm - Pyrrha is beyond salvation, simply because her soul is not there anymore. That will only bring even more desperation onn Jaune and company, who will probably have to fight her, and on the spectators, who will maybe believe she will come back only to be let down. Honestly, i think this scenario is way to dark and pointlessly cruel. However, reality can be just like that, and i know lots of people who enjoy seeing this kind of things in books, mangas, animated shows or whatever. It also depends on how much of sadists the authors are.

Good scenario: This too isn't an original idea, but what if Pyrrha's soul is not completely gone? What if at least a part of it is still lingering somewhere? I'm not really sure where or how, but we at least know from Ironwood that it is possible to capture one's aura.

But if her aura has been somehow saved, maybe it will be possible for it to be reunited with her body and bring her back.

Who knows, maybe that way she will also gain some kind of particular ability that will be important to bring down the bad guys, which would give her the chance to fulfill what she always believed her destiny was.

So, there you have it, my 99,99% wrong theory. I think it has some interesting and fascinating parts, altough others seem a bit weak. Feel free to tell me what you think about it. p.s: I repeat: i think Pyrrha is dead and things are exactly as they appear to be. It's just that i enjoy speculating a bit about other possibilities.
