No one knew that the Dragons were one being and that they were devoured. The only peolpe who knew was pretty much Belthasar and the dead ghost kids. No one else could have known because they lived in a world where the Gods were split since they rememberd (probably since 10,000BC) and even the locals acknowleged them to be seperate, alive beings, except in opposite worlds. Like in Another world, the Water Dragon is dead, in Home it's not etc.
Serge recieves the Ice breath right? Well, he can choose paths if he wants to really go to Fort Dragonia, or not. What I simply think the Dragon was trying to say is that Serge should either stick to it, or defy fate, because that's what the game revolves around, that whole consept. I simply like reasoning it out, because I hate big abstract ideas. I really want to kill the guy who said Schala and the Zealian's dyed their hair. My consepts base game evidance alot and reasonal thinking

And also, Serge saw the FF because he has prophetic powers, well close enough. He saw Kids's death, he sees the FF. This could tie in with my idea that Lavos communicates and sees the world through Serge because he's the arbiter. And anyway, because the Flame wasn't open, it means Lavos wasn't doing anything. Like they say "You stare into the Flame, and it stares back at you". If this is the whole consept on the flame while its concious, then the Flame has to be open to do anything. I think that clip was to symbolise something. Besides the wind pattern looks weird. A few are sucking in, some are sucking out. Also, So what if Serge got sucked towards it? He'd simply be burned if he's not the arbiter. Otherwise nothing should happen. And because the FF wasn't really there, then it was probably just an illusion.
