Children of Dune - Alia's Medea

DISCLAIMER: Nothing except the video itself is mine. I don't own Children of Dune or anything to do with it (except for a copy of the DVD, of course) and the song isn't mine, either. "My Medea" belongs to the brilliant artist, Vienna Teng, and Children of Dune belongs to Frank Herbert, etc. Not mine, don't sue, you get the idea. And I'd be much obliged if this video stays up. LYRICS: Inside the labyrinth walls There lies a tiny child who sleeps alone And as the daylight falls The wind becomes so wild across the stone For I have made her prison be Her every step away from me And this child I would destroy If you tried to set her free So come to me my love I'll tap into your strength and drain it dry Can never have enough For you I'd burn the length and breadth of sky For it's my thoughts that bind me here It's this love that I most fear And this child I would destroy For I hold her pain most dear No haven for this heart No shelter for this child in mazes lost Heaven keep us apart A curse for every mile of ocean crossed For I must die for what I've done A twist of fate a desert sun For I see what I destroy Sweet reflection knife into me For I see what I destroy I can see what I've begun Okay, after about the 3rd time of all the gazillion times I've listened to this song, it struck me that it fit Alia's story very well. I'm not a HUGE fan of Dune, though it is a brilliant series and I do like it (it's like LotR for scfi people, lol), but once I get a good idea in my head, it's hard to let go of it. So I made this. For those of you who aren't familiar with Dune or the character of Alia, here's a taste of backstory: Imagine knowing everything you know as an adult...only while still in your mother's womb. That's a rough idea of what happened to Alia. In short, she grew up WAY too fast. Erm, what else...um, her grandpa was an evil guy and she killed him. And then later, as a 16-year-old, (for reasons that are too complicated to explain in a video description), she is plagued by voices in her head. Her grandfather's spirit comes to her, offering to drive the voices away if she'll let him have a little corner of her mind for himself. She agrees...but over time, little by little, he takes her over completely. Her nephew gives her two choices to save herself: Suicide, or a trial. And...yeah. The rest is history. Even if your not familiar with the Duniverse, I hope you enjoyed this! It was fun playing around with the special effects on my new software, hehe. :-)
