**SPOILERS FOR LEGENDS: DARKSTALKER**

“This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don’t
A kiss holds a million deceits
And a lifetime goes up in smoke

This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The nights that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home

We're wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever,
My love, in a sweet memory”


Well, here it is, the project I’ve been working on for about 7 months now! I’ve been a fan of Lera Lynn’s music since I heard it in True Detective, but after reading Legends: Darkstalker, I realized that a lot of her songs would fit really well with certain Wings of Fire characters. Especially this one, the lyrics almost seem made for Clearsight and Darkstalker. 
The first set of lyrics are more from Darkstalker’s point of view, and the second from Clearsights. The lines about ‘twisting on the rack’ really work well for Clearsight, because for her whole life she was wound up with Darkstalker, she could never escape her fate as being his lover. All she knew, her whole life, was worry and anxiety from seeing the futures where Darkstalker became a cruel and terrifying king. This became so normal to her that, when he was finally buried and she was free from him, she felt unusual. It felt strange to be untangled from his life.

I took a lot of care into making sure the details in this PMV are as accurate as possible, from the time of day it is when certain things happen, to the material the stage is made of. During the scene where all the dragons are fleeing the Night Kingdom, most of them are random, but if you look you should be able to see a few familiar faces there

I couldn’t have done this project without my good friends BrokebackBromance and mercurybird . I excel in anatomy and character design, but when it comes to color theory or landscapes, I fall short. Thankfully these two amazing people teamed up with me to handle the parts that I wasn’t good at, and the resulting product looks absolutely phenomenal.

I may upload each scene on its own on DA if there is enough interest for it! Then you can see the details more clearly~
