Full disclaimer, I do not play LoL. But, here is my understanding of the Blood Sweat and Tears MV. Ambessa is a young warrior, pregnant, and on a battlefield. She is the only person alive, there. But not for long. She’s taken an arrow to the stomach. She and her baby are about to die. The wolf that walks the battlefield is Kindred, the part of the death duo that is honored by a violent death. She reaches for the wolf, and then I believe she dies.

 

From here, I think her soul/consciousness is transported into a prophetic dream.  It is said that your entire life flashes before your eyes when death is at your door. Something similar flashed before Ambessa eyes, though not only her past, but her future. She sees herself on a throne, as head of her family. And then everything shifts

 

She holds in her arms a lamb before she meets the wolf. It is in Shurima, a place of sand and gold.

 

And then her vision shifts, and she is in a place filled with gold, reminiscent of something Solari.

 

 

 

That lamb is symbolism for Kino, Kino who later dies. And I believe that with Kino's death, the merciful side of Ambessa dies as well. The Lamb died, and Ambessa wears white in mourning or ritual, or perhaps a reflection of the merciful side of Kindred.

 

 

 

She is bathed in light, fights in light. But she is not strong enough to beat Pantheon; she needs more power. 

 

After she sacrifices the lamb, only then does all the light in the arena seem to focus on her. And then in the video, we see the iconography of the wolf more often. 

 

 

Here, Ambessa chooses the wolf, is chosen by Kindred. Kindred blessed. Only then is she elevated to stand with the greats of Runeterra, decked in gold. She is not Solari, but she is kindred blessed.

 

And then, after she accepts Kindred’s touch, she seems to ascend. She goes through a violent transformation which allows her to shed her weakness to death.

 

As if, if Kindred has an aspect within the mortal realm, is it her. She is chosen by Kindred just as Pantheon was chosen by the Aspect of War, and Swain was chosen by Raum. Now, she stands with the greatest of Runeterra.

Back on the battlefield, Ambessa and her daughter have possibly died and been resurrected. All this time, it is quite possible she was in Kindred’s domain. But, in a way that defied the idea of Kindred completely, the wolf grants them a second chance at life. Mel is imbued with power, as we can see in the music video, and Ambessa lives because Kindred chose her, or perhaps because Kindred chose the child within her. Mel is possibly the aspect of kindred, the mortal manifestation of their power.

 

I say this because look at the gold at Ambessa’s throat. It does not settle on her skin, but seems to be absorbed by the child within her. 

 

After that experience, Ambessa becomes dedicated completely to the wolf. The Medardas, chosen by Kindred, by the wolf, makes their creed to be both Fox and Wolf.
 

Everything Ambessa has done until this point and been in pursuit of this prophecy. The Golden mask she wears so vastly different from the masks the Noxian soldiers wear, is a reflection of her vision. Kindred’s vision. Everything she does is based on what Kindred has shown her, because soon she will become the woman who Kindred showed her she would be.
