Story/Ending Explained


I'd like to start by saying this story has much room for ones interpretation, in saying this Ill try Explain my interpretation of the story and ending.

Wolves= The original life form which Humans and creatures come from. All in all Humans are the shadows of wolves.

Cheza(Flower maiden)= Made artificially from the essence of lunar flowers, as she dies her body turns to seeds. She represents that of purity and a rebirth.

Wolves are a reflection of pure beings.
Humans are the result of wolves that have forgotten or cast away from their wolf origins.
Humans are the impurities/shadows of lost wolves

The story revolves around finding Paradise,Paradise is Earth ALTHOUGH!
Paradise was not necessarily just a place but rather a 'time'... a time when the Earth is cleansed of its impurities. Paradise is Earth at its purest form.

Darcia Narrates at the beginning of Episode 27 -
"The world has been destroyed and reborn countless times always resurrecting from its ashes as paradise, it has happened before and will happen again an endless cycle of life and death"

Towards the end of the story Darcia's Wolf eye begins to poison the water and flowers.........Within the "heart" of (purity/Goodness), evil is born

At the very ending the main characters are reborn in a new city/time/era. Kiba is shown walking which turns to a sprint. This is a representation of the cycle of life and death, the everlasting flow of time, the process repeats itself.

Hopefully I have given clarity to the story, or simple see it as food for thought.
