I don’t think kamakazing yourself is gonna even the odds

Mira has got it all figured out, methinks

Very Emperor Palapatine vibes here …

So slaughtering the general population of the world is maintaining the existence of the universe? I don’t know about you but that seems very contradictory, don’t you think? Even if the universe continued with everybody dead and buried, there’d still be no life within it. It would just… be. Evidently, Rah’Jan seems to have a placed some faux “noble cause” within the commanders’ heads to give further reason for them to turn on Luna and believe that what they’re doing is somehow just when he corrupted them. Of course, being shown everything that Rah’Jan went through in life, including whatever Luna did to him to put him on his path of vengeance towards her and everything she created and held dear would most certainly help on that front. What the commander had to say there, however, does make me wonder if we’re eventually going to delve into the potential importance of the balance between order and chaos in the world. We’ve already some of the consequences of what happens when Rah’Jan and the forces of chaos are allowed to dominate and massacre as they please, but what if the tides of war so to speak were reversed and Luna and the forces of order is the dominating side? Would the world really be much better off like most of us would expect or want, or would there be a hidden dark side to order having majority control over the world that even Luna wouldn’t be able to foresee until it’s too late? To name one example of this theme off the top of my head, it would be like the conflict between the two swords of Soul Edge and Soul Calibur in the SoulCalibur series. When that particular series of fighting games started, the conflict between the swords was as simple as the concept of the eternal struggle between good and evil, the swords obviously being the representation of each side. However when we get to the later games of the series, starting with SoulCalibur IV specifically, the conflict between the swords becomes a bit more complicated as certain character endings and story modes reveal a bit more about the true nature of them, especially Soul Calibur itself. Long story short, the conflict started off as simple as “Soul Edge is an evil sword that corrupts and feeds on the souls of man that must be destroyed and Soul Calibur is trust the weapon to use to do that.” But when we get to Soul Calibur IV, the conflict evolves to essentially choosing between ravaging the world to quench one’s unending thirst for power, bloodshed and the souls of mankind, if one sides with Soul Edge, and creating a world where evil and violence no longer exists at the damning cost of both the world and its population being crystallized and forever frozen in time, essentially robbed of their free will and general ability to do…anything, if one sides with Soul Calibur. Suffice it to say, there’s a reason why something like D&D has both lawful, chaotic and neutral variations to the good and evil morality choices for character creation, because being of order doesn’t necessarily make you good by default and being of chaos doesn’t necessarily make you evil by default. Granted, it’s already pretty clear just how evil Rah’Jan is and Luna, while flawed in her own way, is as a good a person as they come and I seriously doubt she would turn out to be much more sinister than what we’ve seen of her, unless something terrible were to happen to her to cause her to snap, (let’s just say we better hope Mira survives through this whole story so that we don’t pay witness to the wrath of the Tree of Life), but surely even someone like Rah’Jan would have a legitimate reason to fall to the dark side as he did and we still don’t know much about what Luna was like in her old life, for all we know she could’ve been much more malevolent back then than she is now, but then again maybe not, we don’t know. Of course I may be overthinking what the true nature of the fight against the Chaos may turn out to be later on, especially since we’ll probably not learn that answer, if there are any, until after Book 1, but it’s still food for thought to refer back to later. Bringing things back to the actual page, I think I have an idea of what Mira has in mind when it comes to evening the odds, and if what happened back up on the mountains is anything to consider, this could very quickly turn an already dangerous situation into an even more dangerous and life-threatening situation for her specifically. Let’s hope she’ll still have some juice left in the tank to keep fighting through this ordeal, otherwise she may already have to tap out for her own safety. Guess we’ll have to see for ourselves next time.

She’s going to unleash that super power of her, like she did earlier.

Well. Mira's power is gonna get a work out and nearly kill her, won't it. Side note: I am curious as to what Rah'jan -- and by extension the rest of the Chaos folks -- seem to think their saving by... killing everyone and/or bringing them over to Chaos? When Rah'jan turned that warrior, he said something and whatever he showed that warrior strongly implied that Luna was at fault. Which either means Rah'jan knows something... or is telling people
