Something always bothered me about that part. 27 is an odd number so Sword and Shield coulden't have the same amount of jewels. I thought about a few possibilities."The 27 gems adorning Sword and Shield transformed into the 27 True Runes.
And thus began the world as we know it."
- they were 27 Jewel jewels on both, when they killed eachother each jewel found it's counter part, a sort of ceremony of reconciliation between Sword and Shield but Bright Shield and Black Sword prefered to continue the original fight between (maybe they were the "soul" of the original Sword and Shield).
- they were 14 on each. 13 future True Runes + Bright Sword/ Bright Shield.
- they were 14 on one and 13 on the other. This one sounds too wrong to be correct.
- the story of the creation is nothing more than a story.
It would be interesting if it was one of the 2first possibilities.
We all know that Bright Shield and Blak Sword are doing the original fight over and over and the result is always the same.
-Genkaku vs Han
-Riou vs Jowy
-previous owners what we don't know about...
Now what would happen if the outcome of the original fight changed?
Since the stalemate is representing the beginning then the victory of either party would mean the end but the end of what?
If Bright Shield and Dark Sword had to combine would it form something like Darkness's tear or maybe Darkness itself and the entire universe would be like it never existed?
