It makes sense that the Wolf is more worshipped for the Noxians since strength is always above all. For Ambessa, it is the strength to survive, the strength to protect her baby, and the strength to defy Death. Since the arrow is in her belly, the arrow symbolises a peaceful death for the baby by the Lamb (the unborn baby is unable to make a choice for Death) as well as the weapon that killed the baby. Ambessa was conflicted by the death of her child so the Wolf appeared and Ambessa is automatically chosen to represent both herself and the child for the trial. Those beings in the desert look similar to the Sandseer and Ruinous Acolyte cards for Legend of Runeterra. They may be symbolising "see no evil (only an eye for the mask), hear no evil (the one with the long legs), speak no evil (only the mouth is not covered by the headgear)". Those beings circling around Ambessa and mocking her may be a way of showing that Ambessa has been conflicted by this for some time: Doing only good to survive vs doing whatever it takes to survive. Another interpretation besides this can be the screams of her enemies/victims, the eyes of the dead, and the sound of war. You are right in Ambessa handing over her innocence in exchange for Wolf's acknowledgment. The lamb represents youth and innocence. Ambessa knows that to survive Wolf's trial and win, she has to give up on her innocence. Getting her hands dirty to protect the ones she loved triumphs more so she left her weak self behind. In Kindred's world, Ambessa may have seen different results of her choices/future. The child carrying the lamb could be her first child Kino who wishes for peace over violence unlike Noxians. I think Ambessa cried because she is aware that the path that her child chose will be of the Lamb's and that it will be a path far more difficult than Ambessa's with Wolf. Then again, I may be overthinking and it could be just Ambessa's childhood and her seeing that side one last time before she moves on. From what I can gather from the music video, the main theme is the duality of choices: two Ambessas, Ambessa representing Wolf while her child representing Lamb in the future, peace/war, good/evil, life/death, and acceptance/defiance. I didn't notice about the scars increasing after every death until you mentioned it haha. The Dali's elephant point is also interesting so I have to look up more on it. Overall, really good job in the English version. As usual, your analysis are really detailed and very informative. Can't wait for Arcane season 2!

I'm not a league player, but love Arcane. This was such a great analysis of this video.

[@Alex_LockheartENG]

thank you so much !

[@twisted35]

Awesome analysis!! You did a very nice job!

[@cecifan14]

Great analysis!! Thank you for the video 💕💪🏻

[@Alex_LockheartENG]

Thank you so much ! I wish I had the time to dub the other videos in English too haha. For now they are in french with English subtitles on (on my French channel) but... yeah. I hope I'll be able to do it on this one later on !

[@cecifan14]

Keep going!

[@GoddessThain]

Thank you for making this! 💜

[@Alex_LockheartENG]

you're more than welcome ! Sadly throughout november, I'll probably just add english subtitles to my videos on my main channel (the french one). Because I'll have to release 3 videos per week in french and it might be impossible for me to do it all over again in english. I would love to tho, but it might be hard since I'm doing everything alone haha

Gold is also related to Mel heavily- and it is implied that mel's armor (the locket of the iron solari) ties her family to the solari. So the gold may not be just shuriman but related to the solari people.

[@kameliacos]

Thanks for the video ! It was very clear ! Do you think the arrow she receives at first was meant to be a peaceful death by Lamb, but as she refused it, Wolf came for her ?

[@Alex_LockheartENG]

It might be the case yes. Also, regarding the prerequisites to enter Volrachnun, they are unclear at the moment, so I don't know why she's been "chosen" by Wolf per say.

​@@Alex_LockheartENG I usually watch yours and bubblez' videos with auto generated captions. Happy to see you both make English content as well! The English coverage of league lore has been pretty poor in the past few years apart from skyen 😅

[@Alex_LockheartENG]

I legit had no idea people were going through auto generated captions to watch my french channel hahaha
