Interesting thoughts. I would interpret the Aurora Knives mayhaps as the guardian themselves. Or another option would be that souls have to be sacrificed to give birth to a guardian. It´s a shame to put it this way "into" the game. Edit: Many myths are around about Rasputins death and i think this is why the name is used. The farmost extreme urban legends include serious poisoning, decaptivation, strangling, shot several times etc. Here is the link to the article on wikipedia: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputin[/url]
