[@Framing A Moose] your missing the point Moose. If Firebird isn't a threat, has no allies, and a child may or may not bind him to another family then Phoenix has nothing to offer.

Inorrect. The Firebird is very much a threat. Though he has not yet gone very far off of his island, it's very possible that he will, and if he doesn't have a loved one who likes the world, then he ain't going to hesitate. Unlike everyone else, this marriage isn't about balancing good and evil, but rather balancing the world and the Firebird.
