The Opener of the Ways...

Remember back in the comic's first years, when it wasn't in color yet? Grape had that dream about Pete, and it was Peanut who opened the temple door in that dream. Does that mean Peanut was meant to be the original Opener of the Ways!? :shock: let it sink in...

That was a dream to entice Grape to come open the temple and receive the mana so she could become Pete's avatar. Thus I presume Grape was meant to be the original opener ;)

Why would Peanut open the door in that dream if Grape could?

It actually doesn't specifically say who opened the door, though you may assume it is Peanut. Regardless, it is a dream (unless Peanut actually took Akkadian), and the sole purpose of the dream was to show Grape how to get to the temple so she could become Pete's avatar. If all follows according to that plan, Grape would naturally become the "Opener of Ways". Reading Pete's promise, it does make some sense that his avatar would be the one to open the door -- since through the avatar Pete would bring about said promise -- and we know Grape was meant to be Pete's avatar originally, because it is scratched out on Pete's character sheet (with King written in above). On the other hand, the original promise actually makes no mention of a chosen one or what-have-you, so it's possible the forest animals came up with that part of the prophesy themselves.

I don't think she even mentioned a door in her dream. :?:

Quickly! Everybody teleport to 2008 to find out! (let's just scan through the older comics.)

It was just Pete trying to be tricky.
