Whoa whoa. I can explain.

WHAT IF Adam was right? He told Sienna in Volume 5 Episode 2, "Faunus are the dominant species on this planet." What if he knew something a la contact with Hazel's master, Salem? Word could have gotten from her to him regarding the origin of the Faunus (which we still do not know and which she was there to experience.)



What if there is something about the origin of the Faunus that means there is some key element to the story that they possess, kinda like how Maidens are needed for the Relics? All we know is that they kinda just showed up and were immediately persecuted, yet both of the deity brothers have animal traits for Christ sake. Is there not something about the gods that found its way into the Faunus species? May we have encountered this sort of thing yet? I'm not sure if we have enough tools to answer this question...

I want to point out that this would not be the first time someone said something in RWBY that you would go back to and realize "Oh they meant something wildly different and more important than we could have taken it for at the time." It is very much Adam to think that Faunus are dominant, so it's easy to shrug off. Hell, maybe he didn't even know about it at the time, yet he worded it in exactly this way. I feel like there's more to it.
