Ha, an interesting thought. Would make a neat twist for a sequel.
The KF2 US story was significantly rewritten by Agetec compared to the Japanese version. Probably by Agetec producer Mark Johnson who once said on Agetec's forums that he had 'worked' on the story and wrote the Chronicles of Verdite from the KF2 official strategy guide.
In the KF Japanese version, Guyra made the Moonlight Sword to and it was handed down in the Forester family, but Agetec changed that saying that it was given to King Alfred by Vallad.
I don't think Seath and Guyra were supposed to be good and evil so much as selfish incarnations of the Asian Yin/Yang philosophy. Evil is not 'bad' it's more like a source of strength and determination whereas 'good' is a source of compassion and order. Guyra craved power and Seath craved order (ie through control) and they hated each other like any decent yin/yang allegory must.
I don't know that the monsters which accompanied the dragons were the dragon's henchmen as much as evil spirits unleashed on the world when the dragon's 'opened' doors to the human world in order to manipulate stuff. There are lines in the game that suggest the dragons actually lived in other dimensions and couldn't hurt each other directly so they used humanity as pawns to 'kill' each other. Both of them were trying to find powerful humans to posses and thus make their will manifest in the mortal world.
That evil voice for Vallad always seemed like an odd choice to me. Seems like something was behind it... I would expect the story writers at Fromsoft had a lot more background in mind than was directly laid out in the game. So really, anything you image could be correct.
