Skolas [i]is[/i] dead. Attempt to deny, yes? However, such that he has a second is impossible. A Skolas of another time frame, perhaps, but two of the same can not exist at once.

Variks I will get a house just watch

That's my theory

Ermahgerd, you be my favourite fallen variks

What grimoire do you reference? A statement is just a statement without evidence. For a statement to influence it must be persuasive. Yesss?
-
Hes not referencing grimoire, hes using logic. You cant meet your future self, it would throw off the balance of time.
-
You travel to the future, meet you future self, go back to the present, live life, meet past self, past self disappears. Pretty simple
-
But if you travel to the future and meet your future self, wouldnt that future self have to also have traveled to the future? So what would it have met then? Its a continuous loop.
-
Same as if you had gone to the past. See future self, future self disappears, grow into future self, go back in time, see past self, go back to present. There has to be a continuous loop or else there would be a paradox.
-
That is what is impossible for two Skolas to exist.
-
Technically, in that period time where both the current and old Skolas's are present, there are two
-
This is true. However, there is no loop, therefore there is a paradox, yes? It is impossible.
-
There is a loop [i]if[/i] we capture and kill future Skolas
-
There is no loop if future Skolas does not return to the past to live through as the past Skolas.
-
Old Skolas visits House of Winter, is chased out by Guardians, harnesses power of Vex, stays in hiding for indefinite amount of time, goes back in time to Winter's Lair after old Skolas leaves and hides again, goes to Citadel to pull Wolves through time, gets captured, gets killed. To maintain continuity and prevent a paradox, there has to be a loop
-
There is no loop there. You killed him, and endless amount of bodies will pile there because there is no loop.
-
If there were no loop, there would only be one future Skolas, and once killed that means no other future Skolas's would come back, which changes the flow of time, which creates a paradox. If we kill future Skolas, but there's only one, no others will come back. That means past Skolas will do different things, but he can't have, because he traveled back in time

If two are to coexist, and the original dies, there is a second to replace it, and the second dies, there is a third to replace it. A diagram may help. [spoiler]1 original Skolas 2 second Skolas 3 all following Skolas's X dead Skolas 1 2 \__/ X 2 \__/ X \2/ 2 3 \__/[/spoiler]

A smart guardian. I commend your knowledge.

Grimoire is not necessary to prove my point. A paradox, if two Of Skolas were to exist.
