Okay, I would like to present a theory that... so far, I don't think many people have actually discussed.

Does anyone find it odd how Qrow so willingly accepted that Ozpin was 'inside' Oscar? It seems rather odd... unless this isn't the first time Ozpin has done this.

We were told that Ozpin helped found Beacon... meaning he certainly is older than he looks. But what if he is even older than that?

One thing I admire about RWBY is how the music helps foreshadow events that happen during and before the series, being sung as if in the POV of the characters themselves. Red like Roses Pt.II being sung from Ruby and Summer's POV, Armed and Ready in Yang's... however I must address one set of lyrics from "Time to say goodbye"

'Were we born to fight and die?

Sacrificed for one huge lie?

Are we heros keeping peace,

or are we weapons?

Pointed at the enemy, so someone else can claim our victory'?

Ever since I heard that song, that lyric has always stuck with me...what is the 'one huge lie'?

I would like to propose what that lie is. I have a theory that perhaps the story of 'two brothers' isn't exactly what it says. Firstly: its not two brothers... its a brother and a sister. I believe somehow Salem is the embodiment, or even 'Avatar' of the Sister of Darkness, while Ozpin is the embodiment of the Brother of Light. And I also believe that in the end of their clashes... the Sister of Darkness did not give away her power willingly to create humanity. Ozpin STOLE her power, robbing her of her abilities so he could create mankind in his image.

This is why Salem wants to see him burn.

This isn't about Salem just wanting to rule the world.

This is about Salem reclaiming what is rightfully her's, and getting her revenge on what Ozpin did to her, and expose all the lies he had told to protect his own image, and that of mankind.

How the Faunus fit into this however, I know not... perhaps the Faunus were created by Salem somehow? Altering humans to possess animal qualities?
