Talk:The Long Memory/@comment-110.22.76.123-20171028135335

From what I've seen, no one else has thought of this but think of the tale of the four maidens, both when it is told by Phyrra in the episode 'Fall' and the World of Remnant episode, 'The Four Maidens'. It tells of four sisters who help bring joy to an older man, who then grants them immense power to continue spreading happiness to others. When a Maiden dies, her power transfers to the last one in their thoughts. What if the same, or something similar, holds true for the old man. I propose that, similar to how the maidens powers transfer, the power of the old man, presumably Father Time or a similar figure for the RWBY universe, works in the same way and that Ozpin and now Oscar were/are the latest in that line. This kinda explains how Ozpin was able to transfer is soul to Oscar and why Ozpin seems to space out at certain points in the first three volumes: he is listening to the previous holder of the power. Notice also how in Ozpins battle against Cinder, his energy was green and in both 'Fall' and 'The Four Maidens' the colour for the old man is also green.

Coincidence? I think not!
