I have a theory on the prophecy of the Hawk of Darkness and the Hawk of Light. It might seem obvious to most, that each are a different view on Femto/Griffith, but a lot of people in the Berserk community believe that Guts is the Hawk of Light. Also, in the manga, the Holy See mistook Guts as the Hawk of Darkness due to the carnage that followed him, sudden appearance of apostles etc. I believe Griffith, in both a symbolic and obvious, straightforward way, is the Hawk of Darkness and the Hawk of Light.
Griffith is the Hawk of Darkness, leader of the sinful black sheep (apostles) and the blind white sheep (citizens of Falconia). I see Femto as the physical manifestation of the Hawk of Darkness and I see his incarnated form or corporeal vessel as the physical manifestation of the Hawk of Light. I believe that the Hawk of Light is a false savior or messiah, used to allure the blind white sheep and to command the sinful black sheep. He is definitely viewed as a savior with the creation of Falconia, with a world overrun with monsters, apostles and astral beings, Falconia serves as a safe haven and melting pot for human beings and apostles alike.
I also believe the words about the Five suns being destroyed is a reference to the five separate Eclipses that would occur during the creation of the God Hand, with the Fifth Sun being the sign of the creation of Femto, the fifth angel, Hawk of Darkness.
Please, share with me your view on this theory, if you think it is blatantly obvious I apologize but I felt it might be interesting to break down the specifics of the prophecy, what it means and how it applies to Griffith directly. Especially with some fans speculating that Guts may be the Hawk of Light or savior, a view which I disagree with but still respect, nonetheless.
