Theme + Why: [min 20 words]For Better or Worse - Uncharted OST
In this song, there are no powerful words to deliver a clear message. There are no vocal tones to drive a mood or change the energy. There is only peaceful, gentle, thought-provoking music. Lightpool is much the same. Words are not used often, and she is not skilled with language or flattering talk. However, it is through her actions and expressions that she most often communicates. Words are scarce and limited, but eyes tell the stories of worlds and universes.
Lightpool is a failed medicine cat - at least in her own eyes. In her at clan, seven kits and four warriors passed in two moons to an illness she could not identify. During this time, everyone - even StarClan - seemed to turn their backs on her. Lightpool left by her own choice, out of shame and failure. She made her way to Two-Leg place, lived feral in the streets and treated wounded animals - including a few dogs - before Duskfall (Cinderclan’s Deputy) found her and took her in. After a long talk with Cedarstar, the young she-cat accepted her past roll once more, this time striving to be better.
The song “For Better or Worse” is a relaxing instrumental. When listened to in a quiet setting, it brings emotions of remorse, peace, sorrow, and stirs the mind into thought. Lightpool cannot break free of her past. It haunts her and it drags her paws to hesitance. When she sees her reflection, she sees her failures sooner than her successes. She lacks confidence and is scared and sorrowful because of it. However, life has not left her unchanged. Though the past hangs heavy on her shoulders, she is given constant reminders of the good she has done and is doing when she looks upon her clan mates. Lightpool finds relief and peace through her clan and her new work, and she has committed herself to staying strong this time, for better or worse.
Ah man this kid was tough. The forms were great and many of you had very fitting themes for the characters. However I and the second judge felt this one stuck out the most and fit the most with the song chosen.
Some hms i felt were needed were to wolf ;; and dear starboy. Both of your stories made me cry along with the music ;v;
Thank you all for participating and good luck with other comps in the community!
