How do you not have way more subscribers?! This video was awesome, thank you for all the information in it. I'm not a LoL fan, never played it, and your commentary helped contextualize the music video so much. Thank you!

I feel that the symbolic sacrifice of the lamb could also mean that in order to receive the Wolf's "blessing", she would have to give up the possibility of dying by the Lamb's hand when the time comes - and not only her, but also her heritage (or at least the child she's carrying). As in making peace with the fact that when the time comes, both her and her child will have violent deaths. This also aligns with the fetus being shown with lit eyes on the end, as if it also was part of the deal/choosing. And if you think about it, Kino was moudered and Mel got hit by a giant torpedo in the end of season 1. If this is the case, the statue of a little girl holding a lamb could be not her, but Mel holding the possibility of a peaceful death, and she's crying because she knows that this won't happen anymore. Makes sense?

[@amandapalha]

This would also make sense and give more depth to her decisions to push Mel away from the war and into a more peaceful region, and maybe giving her peaces of what I assume to be targonyan or shuriman armory as protection - that Ambessa herself is not seen using. As a way to try preventing or at least minimizing what she knows that is inevitable: when Mel's time comes, there will be no Lamb to take her.

[@DefaultDanielSGaming]

The idea that she isn't going to have a peaceful death makes a lot of sense from the start because she is noxian and they would always choose to fight/ the way of the wolf and as I said, the unborn child was also marked by Kindred when all of these visions started. When it comes to who that kid holding the lamb is, I'm not sure if it's Mel, if she is dead in the 2nd season then it can be if not then I don't think so. There is a moment in season 1 when Ambessa talks about her father telling her to gather swords from the battlefield whenever she was young because she had to understand death, that kid holding the lamb is surrounded by 3 swords, to me it fits Ambessa more than Mel but I guess we'll see I like your idea too

[@amandapalha]

@@DefaultDanielSGaming oh, that makes sense... picking the swords and the loss of innocence.

@@DefaultDanielSGaming Some more thoughts... This video kind hints, imo, that Ambessa's story is heavily connected with Swain's assention during/after the invasion of Ionia. I always wondered, watching season 1, if the amount of crows was just a metaphore ti Jinx's story or if they were actually hinting Swain - but since nothing on the teasers we got hinted any other noxian characters in any way (despite maybe LeBlanc), I've dropped this. But now we see Swain and Katarina in this clip and I'm wondering again... What if they're only standing in the back of those scenes because while war (pictured by Pantheon) is her current challenge, Swain and Katarina will be future challenges on her life? She tells Mel that Kino was killed because he "crossed the wrong man", whose resources exceded hers. It doesn't mean (and it hasn't been said) that this man killed Kino himself - he could easily had an assassin hired for ir, such as Katarina. And if you think about it, Ambessa is very resoursefull, so "resources that excede hers" would have to be really huge, I guess... such as a demon, maybe? Kino being killed by Katarina on Swain's behalf would fit Ambessa sailing all the way to Piltover not only to reach for Mel and to try getting Hextech weaponry but also as a way to distance herself from Noxus too while she does it. Sorry for the long comment (and my poor english, not my native language), but I've enjoied your perspectives and was wanting to know how this sounds to you.

@@amandapalha Ambessa's biography was released recently and she is depicted as a very powerful person, up until now the main idea is that it was Swain all along(the man who Kino crossed) but there are a few things to consider. 1. Swain has Ravens not Crows, crows represent Jinx in Arcane, you can see that in the fight scene with Ekko(there is a crow in her background) 2. If Swain already has demonic powers then it means the war in Ionia already started which I'm not sure they would want because it has huge potential for the next show 3. Katarina gets her teleporting blades and starts working directly with Swain after killing Jarvan the third of Demacia, and Swain already has the demon hand at that point(you can check her comic online) You don't have to apologize for making a comment
