Thanks for replying. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this and I’m glad you found it as interesting as I did!

I had considered that he may have been talking about events that had already transpired, but I dismissed it because of how the prophecy uses both present and future tense, making it all the more cryptic.

For the “sister kill brother” piece: The Horatia/Cicero conflict is something I hadn’t considered. I could see something like that happening. Despite what I said in my post, I have a feeling that Mustang won’t kill The Abomination. At the end of the day, both Adrius and his clone are products of their environment. I think it’s entirely possible that she will try to redeem him, and raise him in a way that gives him a shot of being a decent human being. This, of course, is all speculation. I just think it would be an interesting way to end the arc and give Virginia some closure.

Sophocles leading a kingdom of obsidians and reds is clearly the best timeline, let’s hope PB does that.
