Welcome friends, sky fans, and people who have NO idea who I am! Let me introduce you to my open characters...
Everything included under the cut!
Disclaimer, this is just a general overview. I couldn't possibly include everything or show everything! Believe me, I tried. Thrice. This is why it took me two years.
If you have any questions, don't feel afraid to send me an ask or dm!
And if you make a starkid of your own, please please PLEASE tag me!! I would love to see!!!!! :)
Too weak to reach, too silent to be heard, butterflies do not help those who cannot sing
But you all exist to help others so it was only a matter of time before you were found
I wonder what he saw in you at that time...
Moth Serene and her adoptive father/veteran
I wanted to get this idea out of my head, I'm not really that good at making scenery, I just painted over screenshots to make my job of creating an environment easier.
They call me a sky:cotl player the way I [LOUD SHARP SHARD CRUNCH SOUND EFFECT AS WINGED LIGHT GOES EVERYWHERE] -get hit by [A SECOND LOUD SHARD CRUNCH SFX] the eye- [LOUD HEARTBEAT SOUND EFFECT AS I NEARLY RUN OUT OF WINGED LIGHT] of eden shards.
1. Isle being forested. Mounds are in the background.
2. Isle had more land that’s now covered by the clouds.
3. The child (probably the King) is with other children, alongside a guardian of sorts.
4. The child looks at an Abyss-style manta..
5. The guardian looks angry, and is presumably from Vault.
6. More multi-wing mantas are being shown.
7. The boat heads to the flourishing Isle Temple, with isle being shown.
8. “Many years later”… so it’s definitely canon
9. “The story continues” the most interesting part to me. The Two Embers will not only have a story that connects with the game, but it sounds like the “start”. Maybe Two Embers will appear to people who haven’t played Sky, causing them to watch the show before playing the game?
Side note: There are human sounds, and the music is a combination of “Overture” and “The Invention” (forest elder theme)
You go to eden, give one of your wing light to each of the statues, then you die, because you lost all your winged light, and become a statue too. You fall into darkness. But what's that over there? A glowing thing? You go towards it. Though it looks sort of different, it's definitely a winged light. You take its hand just like you've taken so many other winged lights hands. But then you give it a hug and it merges with you. Not with your cape, but you. You break free from your statue, and all the statues you gave a wing light to break free too! You fly to orbit together.
So.. where did that winged light come from? I don't believe it's the prince Alef like some say. It's a winged light. It was - figuratively not literally - given to you by another skykid running through eden. And that skykid will lose all their light, die, and find a winged light. That winged light was given to them by another skykid, who lost theirs and died.
It's an endless cycle of self sacrifice. A cycle of love. A cycle of I would die for you, will you die for me, or rather, someone else like me? And the answer is yes, over and over.
