>Carol slapped Rudy

>Carol is really strong
Guys, what if Rudy went through Snowgrave with her? What if Prophecy is cyclical and has to be repeated in every generation?

Okay, I'm just going to throw this as a possibility - what if Rudy lied to us and the real reason why Carol slapped him back then was because he went through Snowgrave with her as well? That would explain her icy presence, and her prowess with katana is simply a result of her getting stronger.
