User blog comment:ChishioKunrin/Maidens - Origin of Dust and the Kingdoms?/@comment-25086632-20151214045039

This...is both oddly similar yet very different from something I was thinking.

Given the whole...nature and seasons motif of the story, and Dust coming from Remnant/being "Nature's Wrath" I was considering maybe the old man of the story was actually the planet.

With the Maiden's powers and Dust both being derived from nature itself, instead of Dust coming from the Maiden's, though that is an increadibly interesting idea.

I'm not too sure on the Kingdom's thing though, as the number 4 just seems to be a thing running through the show, like 7 in Halo.
