Kingdom "Black Crown". Theory (Part 1)

In this MV we have 5 branches of events.

1- initial

2- where in the past, presumably due to the momentum of Louis' power, Ivan's single crown split into two opposite ones. Here the crown with red energy wins. And logically, Ivan returns to the past from this branch (as the owner of the sphere, he remembers how it should have been originally).

3- a branch where in the future the balance between the crowns is restored (even if only for a short time).

4- where Mujin changes the course of events, and Ivan (already from the future of this branch, but with memories of previous ones) loses to the crown when he decides to act more decisively (different from his past actions). And it seems that from this branch Arthur and Mujin manage to escape to other worlds.

5- where Ivan gets a single crown even earlier than in the past. And if before that the branches appeared thanks to Ivan's actions, then this one appeared thanks to Dann.

If we go back to the Silmarillion, then this is very similar to the time of Ea's creation. First there was the original song, which Melkor changed three times (and that in total four), and the fifth was the final song, presented by Iluvatar (here, it turns out, Dann acts as Iluvatar).

The MV begins with a man walking among snow-capped mountains. This tells us that the action will unfold in the northern country (according to the black swans and fur coats, everyone assumed Russia).

In the following frames we see icy mountain peaks. They are mirrored, which can tell us about the duality of Ivan's world, its mirroring. They are gradually covered with a dark shadow.

And immediately behind the shadow, a throne appears in front of us. The man on it wears a Black Crown and holds a black sphere in his hands. It is possible that its action is similar to the action of Ivan's white sphere.

Considering that the Silmarillion was the basis of this clip, it becomes clearer how exactly both spheres work. In the book itself there are stones that show the person looking at them what is happening next to another stone or, if he knows how to control them, what he needs. Of course, they have been slightly modified for this story, but the essence remains the same.

This man is sitting somewhere in the depths of caves, because there are piles of stones around him, and the only light source falls through a crack at the top. His eyes are closed. It all reminds me of Melkor from the Silmarillion. The sky above his abode is covered with thunderclouds, and, apparently, it is the light of lightning that periodically makes its way to the throne.

If you look very carefully, then there is a series of extremely interesting frames.

First, a completely white eye appears with a prominent black pupil, framed by thick shadows against which the human skin seems incredibly pale. In the future we will see that this is exactly what people subordinate to the Black ("Red") Crown look like. From this we can conclude that the person on the throne could sit there not by choice.

Then a circle of fire appears with a hole in the center, which together looks very much like an eye. Did it remind anyone of the Eye of Sauron?

Literally immediately, the familiar look of white eyes breaks through the center of the fiery circle. The person on the throne is either trying to break through the energy of the Black Crown or directs her gaze to where he needs himself.

Then we see the footage of the creation of the crown. In all the frames associated with its creation, it is mirrored, which once again tells us about the duality of Ivan's world. And also, that there can be two of them (one on one side of the mirror, and the other on the other).

Again, the fiery eye, in the center of which are mirror-reflected crowns. They seem to merge with the fire around them. This confirms that this "eye" is an inseparable part of them.

In the following frames, the color of the "eye" changes twice. First to purple, and then to blue. There is a certain transformation of the energy of the crowns.

We also see the struggle of red and blue. Based on this, it can be assumed that the twin crowns have energy of different colors. The red one is that of the man on the throne (after all, it is through her that he looks at the world). And the blue one that Ivan, who became a light magician, will wear later. However, we have a third color - purple. It appears when two existing ones are mixed. Therefore, if you combine two crowns into one, they will merge together, and their energy will be much stronger.

When the person on the throne opens his eyes for the first time, we can assume that they are purple. After a while, he fully wakes up, his eyes shine with a lilac color. Well, or so the energy of the merged crowns is shown.

There are two more frames before that. On them we see that as soon as the scarlet light begins to burn, the man on the throne closes his eyes, as if his will is put to sleep. The power of the “Red” Crown (I'll call it that for ease of perception) is great enough to do this. If we assume that Melkor is taken as the basis of this character, then here he is already weakened after numerous non-healing wounds and fights. That is why he can no longer restrain the power of the red crown, and it prevails

And yes, it was only the first 11 seconds of the video.

***

After the next beautiful mountains (not mirrored, please note! Which tells us that this action takes place in one of the worlds of the crowns) we see the snow hall of the castle. In the center stands a snow-white Ivan with a black crown on his head. Since there is no black in the frame except for the crown and swans, we understand that this is the world of the “Blue” Crown.

Then Ivan's castle itself gets into the frame. A crow lands on one of its columns. It would seem nothing special, but her eyes… Just like a person who is subordinate to the “Red” Crown. Conclusion: the second crown, intoxicated by its power, wants to start conquering other worlds. And since a crow subordinate to her has appeared here, she already knows how to do it.

The space in front of Ivan changes (does everyone remember Louis' strength as a magician?) and the picture, frozen before, begins to move.

Immediately after that, Arthur appears, sitting on the throne. The throne looks suspiciously similar to the one where the owner of the “Red” Crown sat. But there is one thing: it is not he who wears the Black Crown. There is fire and a scarlet glow around Arthur. So, we understand that he is in the world of the “Red” Crown. Here he is more like Sauron in Angband.

The next in the frame is the chained Chiwoo. He is dressed in a style similar to the Arthurian from the previous scene, which means he is a resident of the world of the “Red” Crown.

However, the lack of fire and the blue glow suggests that somehow, he was able to cross the border between the worlds and is now only a prisoner in the world of the “Blue” Crown.

Although this picture is visible only in a certain vessel or reflection. It's too obvious that drops are dripping on the surface. So, this has not happened yet, or someone from the subordinates of the “Red” Crown is watching it (but then the question arises, what kind of drops, because her world is almost completely extinct).

Then we see Jahan standing in the middle of a deserted territory where there is nothing alive and the shadows on the ground give off a red tint. His costume also tells us that this is what the world looks like, where the “Red” Crown rules.

Louis is next in the frame. He is standing in snow and purple haze (more towards red, which indicates the approach of the corresponding crown). So, he is in the future, where there was only one. We can assume that everyone else, if they wear a blue outfit, too.

But among the frozen walls we also see Mujin. He is dressed as a minion of the “Red” Crown. So, in addition to Chiwoo, others have made their way into the world of the light magician Ivan. Mujin stands in a narrow passage, and dozens of charred hands (probably people who were once burned by him) reach out to him through cracks in the walls.

Immediately after him, Dann and Arthur appear. And if Dann is in the light of two energies (blue and red light gradually mix, turning into purple; He probably maintains a balance between them), then behind Arthur the light is invariably red.

Then we are consistently shown Chiwoo, Ivan, Jahan and Louis dressed in white. They are in the castle of the white magician in the past.

The following frames are extremely important. We see Ivan in a blue robe. Behind him is a certain magician, whom he called for help. (And he looks suspiciously like a man among the subordinates of the “Red” Crown when they surround the disobedient. However, with a high probability, it has not been captured here yet) At the same time, he is sitting in a hall of mirrors, on the border of two worlds.

The magician puts his hand on his head, and we can observe how the energy of the crown changes from purple to light blue. Then there are two frames in the green and red spectrum. And gradually the crown begins to shine blue, red and purple at the same time. Single Crown divided into parts.

Then Ivan opens his eyes, and the ritual begins, for which the magician was invited. Using the power of the Crown and standing behind him, he plunges into visions of the past.

And now begins the story that happened in the past.

With the first sentence, we see Mujin standing in the same icy corridor. "A dead frozen body. All the desperate gestures. It tightens me, tightens me." Immediately after, he stands in the hall with the throne of the “Red” Crown. This confirms that he has killed many people under her influence, and he is strained by their pleas for mercy, their gestures of despair.

Dann is back in the purple haze. He is somewhere between worlds, that's why everything around him seems to repeat itself (the same object in front of him and behind him at the same time). "Inside a prison without bars, all the abandoned spirits are getting closer, closer." Because of the paradox (appearance of twin crowns from one), a lot of things got out of control.

"With a little cruel, but beautiful dangerous power" - Louis stands in the same hall and watches the world gradually turn red. He's wearing a blue suit, so this is happening while Ivan has gone to the past for some purpose. Probably, the "Red" Crown started to act.

In the following frames we get into the past. There are a lot of crows in Ivan's castle, and his crown has disappeared. The hostile crown achieved its goal and gradually began to absorb neighboring worlds.

"Getting something means losing something," says Jahan, standing among the dead trees. A flock of crows sweeps past him. This is a celebration of the "Red" Crown, which has won at this stage.

"A paradox which I swallowed in enchantedly" - as a result of the actions of the crown hostile to the white magician [Ivan], literally everything has changed. The mirror worlds split, and there were many more copies of them. This is also confirmed by the fact that Chiwoo, who serves the crown with red energy, was able to see his own. And for the same reason, he temporarily found himself between worlds.

Louis, standing in a red-painted hall and a blue suit (which means in the future, from where Ivan went into the past), urges to come to terms with what is happening. Behind him are Dann, Arthur and Ivan. If we consider that Dann maintains a balance between the energies of the crowns, Ivan tries to change what happened, and Arthur serves the “Red” Crown, it makes sense.

"Wake it," Ivan orders. He was able to get to that moment in the past where the hostile crown had not yet gained full strength. But this can only be an appearance. Ivan's crown is missing, and the look of those standing in the circle only arouses suspicion. If you look closely, then Arthur and Mujin have the look of a man subordinate to the crown with red energy. For the rest, it is simply clouded. Perhaps it is for this reason that the white magician asks them to wake up?

"Don't forget who we are." "Engrave it." The words of Arthur and Dann sound.

Arthur wants to get the sphere (for the sake of his dark lord), but Dann stops him.

It turns out that in addition to Arthur, there are several other people who want to get the sphere at their disposal. In addition to Ivan's hands, the hands of Louis, Mujin and Jahan are visible there. It is not known whether this is caused by a personal desire or the action of the black crown. But scarlet flashes periodically appear in the background.

Picking up the sphere, Ivan sees Dann and Chiwoo arguing. This will happen after a couple of moments. Echoes of Ivan's memories of the future?

"Raise the holy Grail above your head," says Jahan. Is it about achieving the goal?

At the same time, during the phrase, we see several scenes. The red-painted hall of the castle left by Ivan in the future.

And the familiar scene of the sphere is in the past. Only this time Chiwoo stretches out his hand to her, and Arthur and still Dann stop him. The others don't seem to care. The red lights are still visible.

"Put on the black crown," Mujin says, clearly demonstrating this and putting it on his head. And this happens in the future, where the “Red” Crown absorbs the world of Ivan. Is he the cause of what happened?

"Endure the pain of astonishing power. There is no limit" - Arthur stands in the middle of the hall flooded with scarlet light. The power of the crown with red energy was finally established in the future, which once belonged to Ivan.

Dann, as before, appears only in the light of two crowns. He does not serve them but maintains the balance. Or trying to, because for some reason the power of the “Red” Crown has increased significantly.

"We run the world" - a chorus of subordinate voices of the "Red" Crown sounds under the arches of the castle in the future. And only Dann stands while the others soar into the air. If you look closely at the movements of his hand, you will see that it is he who lifts them with a smooth movement and brings them down to the ground in the past.

Can he be the guardian of the spheres, controlling their actions? Then it will mean that he is the only one, besides Ivan and the man on the throne (Mujin), who knows about what is happening in all the worlds where they reach and can somehow influence it.

"A paradigm that will break brightly" - Dann hastens to disappoint them. With the end of his phrase, the scene of the past takes on a blue color. He had to step in to help Ivan restore proper order. But he can only change what has become a consequence of the actions of the spheres or violates the balance between the energies of the crowns.

"No mercy," Jahan echoes him, and the world turns blue again.

"We’ve got the crown" - the voices sound again. Ivan is among them: "Like an enormously spreading legacy, oh." The past is fixed. He returned to the future of this branch of events.

"Get wild until I get punished by heaven" - Louis in the castle of the white magician (in the future, which became the new present of Ivan who once left). There is not red glow, everything is flooded with blue light. Which confirms Ivan's victory at this stage.

"So what? Follow it to the end" - Arthur in the past is still subordinate to the “Red” Crown. She continues to broadcast her will through him.

"We run the world" - a furious chorus of voices in the past sounds (which notices Ivan from the past, who does not yet know about the tragedy of the future). The red crown has not yet captured the world, the light is still blue, but its presence is still felt. That's the reason Dann stays there.

And there, in the past, as sometime in the future, Mujin puts on a ruthless black crown. She had found a way to turn things in her favor again.

After that, we are transported to the world that belonged to the crown with red energy originally. "I can hear a lonely cry in my ears." Probably, this is the cry of Mujin dragged into the world of the Red Crown for the sake of maintaining balance. This is the period of time when Dann and Ivan corrected the past (temporarily), and Mujin has not yet put on the Crown in the past. That is why the light falling on Jahan is so pale and somewhat bluish. In his world, the blue northern lights flashed for the first time (as a sign of the victory of the white magician).

"A sad voice that embraces you like you are possessed" - a part of the people who once obeyed the “Red” Crown was freed. But the remnants of her influence continue to whisper something. Even after losing, the crown is not going to give up. Having found weaker people, she forces others to follow her. It is here that we see the magician who helped Ivan in the already non-existent future. This may indicate that somehow the crowns "exchanged" the original worlds in the process of establishing the former equilibrium.

"A mysterious defeat cannot exist" - Mujin (or the "Red" Crown speaking with him) does not agree with his loss and begins to act in the past, which affects the future. And if in the past the light remains blue, then in the future it pales and looks more like white.

The future is starting to change again.

"Rather than losing the world, I would become a monster," says Chiwoo standing in the white light. He does not want to fall under the influence of the crown with red energy again, even if she considers this world [her original world] her own.

"I choose suffering over loneliness which overwhelms" - Mujin's actions had paid off and the future turned red again.

It is possible that after the changes made by Ivan, he was drawn into the world of the “Red” Crown (instead of the runaway Chiwoo), where he was alone. His (Mujin's) dislike of loneliness was taken advantage of by the “Red” Crown and offered its power in exchange for ridding him of loneliness. Mujin puts on a Crown with red energy, but it cannot suppress his will (which is why Arthur considers him an absolute dark lord). It so happened that the goals of the Crown and Mujin coincided, and his intention to take over the world of the “Blue” Crown turned out to be stronger and much more feasible.

Perhaps for this reason, at the beginning of the clip, Mujin is standing in a blue light, but in a chaos costume.

"The evil power of necessity given to me" - even surrounded by the people of the “Red” Crown, Chiwoo is not going to give up.

Ivan of the past is forced to watch the capture of his world by a hostile Crown. He does not know that this has already happened once in a future that no longer exists.

"Accept it, just the way you are" - Arthur remains faithful to the crown with red energy no matter what (its roots have sprouted so far). Her [crown's] power has increased again. She was able to bring her original world back under her control.

"Wake it!" cries Louis, and Ivan of the past decides to act in a way different from the path chosen before. He enters the hall where a man sits on a throne. It is possible that Ivan, who came from a newly changed future, decided to uproot the enemy, considering this the best option.

He [Ivan] begs himself not to forget who he really is and takes the crown.

"Engrave it," advises Dann, who is between worlds. The red energy radiated by the crown is so great that it even reached him.

As soon as Ivan touches the hostile crown, the world goes crazy (if that's what you can call a sharp surge of energy). First, the screen turns green, then blue, temporarily returns to normal, and at the end, lightning strikes in the sky, streaking the sky with red as soon as the Crown leaves its owner. Is this how the crown's anger is expressed?

After a temporary lull, the final blow occurs. The previously restrained energy of the single crown is scattered in a dense ring to the sides. The sky turns scarlet again.

"Raise the holy Grail above your head," says Jahan from the future, from where Ivan has gone into the past this time. And this branch of history is forever closed by Dann. Ivan will return to another new future unknown to him, if everything succeeds. Do you remember that the scarlet light of the Black Crown also reached the space between the worlds? It is possible that this happened during the closure of the next branch of the future.
