![]() When confronting Kid before she takes the Frozen Flame, Harle says the following, ]This is where the text in the game seems to have a bit to offer. If that was the case, she would likely have stayed away from the party after abandoning them to fulfil her mission, and is emotionally distraught over the Dragon God's goals as well, as we see in the "Return of the Downtrodden" ending.Įssentially it comes down to the question of whether or not Harle appears in "Return of the Downtrodden" because the Dragon God is still alive, or in spite of the fact that it is still alive. Harle may not have merged with the Dragon God at all, but rather fled into hiding after delivering the Frozen Flame to Terra Tower. The most insight comes again from Belthasar's quote, "The seven dragons travelled across time to reunite into a single entity." The phrasing strikes me as odd (though it may just be the translation), because it states definitively that "they travelled" but only states their intention to unite as a single entity, not whether or not it was completed. We see her vanishing upwards to deliver the Frozen Flame to the Dragon God, but unlike with the other Dragons, we don't see her merging with them. This also brings up the question as to whether of not Harle would have needed to merge with the Dragon God at all, or once she delivered the Froze Flame to the Dragon God, was she free to do as she pleased as an individual entity. The dwarves mention that the Dragon God is watching over them, which would suggest that The Dragon God still a complete entity as seen earlier on just as it was when it first merged, even though Harle (the 7th Dragon) is not merged into it. The Dragon God wipes out humanity, and (some years) later, Harle is seen in El Nido, eventually flowers at Cape Howl. Some proof of this can be seen in the ending "Return of the Downtrodden". She's still considered the "7th" or "Dark Moon Dragon" (a connection to her Japanese name being Tsukuyomi), but Belthasar even refers to her as their child, which makes her innately different than them. Since (given this translation) Harle is then not a broken piece of the full Dragon God like the other six Dragons, she is a unique entity that's separate from the Dragon God, while also being a part of it. When Chronopolis was temporarily shut down during the magnetic storm, the six Dragons combined to create Harle. This shows that their natural state is when they're merged. The Dragon God's physical avatar was split into the six individual plasma life-forms (known as Dragons) by FATE in, order to control the Elements. What's interesting is that this relationship suggests that Harle and the Dragon God are both a single entity, as well as two individual entities, much like the Time Devourer. If the Dragon God's physical avatar resembled Lavos, it would make sense that when it also generated another daughter-entity it would resemble Schala/Kid. ![]() The fact that it bears some physical resemblance to Lavos also seems to hint at some sort of crossover of information between the two entities. ![]() The fact that the Dragon God's remaining physical avatar is a quasi-entity that it uses to appear in this dimension. Because of this, it would presumably have access to Schala's genome to create a daughter-clone in a similar way that Schala did. There are a number of hyperlinks in the text that should serve as sources for the information if there're any questions on the details.Īfter the real Dragon God was originally a singular plasma life-form, which was a living accumulation of the planet's energy that was consumed by the Time Devourer. This is also a loose spinoff looking into motives for a connection in the physical similarities between Lavos & the Dragon God (which was my first thread here), but that will become apparent fairly soon. There's been a brief look at the connections between Kid & Harle, as well as their connection to the moons, but I'd like to explore that a little further and make some hypothesis about Harle and her relationship to Kid and the Time Devourer, as well as her fate in the game, since I've yet to see anyone investigate past the presumption that she merges with the Dragon God, despite the fact that it's not directly seen. ![]()
