Richard/Kahlan - Kahlan's Song

This video was originally created for a video contest for the Richard and Kahlan Night Event at the Confessor and Seeker Society. It features clips from the first season of Legend of the Seeker.

The song used in this video is "Penelope's Song" by Loreena McKennitt. As far as I know, these lyrics are based on the story of Penelope and Odysseus from Homer's "The Odyssey." In this classic story, Penelope waits 20 years for her husband to return from war, and even though she faces unimaginable challenges, she is still faithful to her love for him. This is why I have chosen this song for Kahlan.

In the final episode of season one, Kahlan loses everything she holds dear, with only a faint and fleeting hope that somehow, everything can be made right. It is no easy task to live with almost no hope, to marry your sworn enemy in hopes of saving your true love. And yet, through it all, while she waits, Kahlan's heart is forever given to Richard. This song is the story of Kahlan's longing, as well as her eternal devotion to the man she loves.

Music and voice/sound were put together using Cool Edit 2.1 and Sony Vegas 8.0. Since the latter program apparently hates my clips, the video itself was made with the same program as all my other videos, Windows Movie Maker.

Beautiful amv, I just wished that the show followed the books instead of skipping around. Darken Rhal was never Richard's brother he was his father, and yes Kahlen was pregnant with Richard's baby but she lost it...I"m not going to say how she lost it, you'll have to read "Soul Of The Fire which is the 5th book." Richard never knew until after Du Chaillu told him... I wish that they would remake the season or even a movie series using the same actors and follow the books instead.
