I'll be uploading a few scenes a day from my recent PMV about Darkstalker, which you can see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHvsE4…

To me, this is probably the saddest scene from the PMV. Not just because Arctic is my favorite character either Allow me to explain:

At the end of Darkstalker, most everybody gets the short end of the stick. Foeslayer is imprisoned and killed over and over, forced to know that she'll be outliving her family due to the enchantment she's under.
All the Nightwings have to flee their homes, probably leaving a bunch of stuff behind, because they are all terrified of Darkstalker.
Whiteout loses her entire family, she literally has no one. She has her new crush, Thoughtful, but they've only just met.
Clearsight cannot go back to her family or friends because of her ties to Darkstalker; she didn't even get to say goodbye to her parents. Instead, she too has to flee to an unknown location.
And Darkstalker got what he deserved tbh lol. But he lost out on his futures with Clearsight because he was too power-hungry and selfish.

But Arctic...nobody cared about him after Foeslayer was captured. He was stuck in a place he hated, but he no longer has a reason to endure it. He wanted to go home but knew he wouldn't be let back into the Ice Kingdom, and besides that, he may not have wanted to leave Whiteout behind without any parents to look after her.
So he did the only thing he thought he could do: enchant his own daughter to follow him to the Ice Kingdom, where Arctic believes that her status as an animus-gene carrier meant she was guaranteed to be kept safe and alive. Arctic even hoped that he could somehow, /somehow/, rescue Foeslayer from whatever his mother was doing to her.

But Darkstalker stopped him. And he should have too, honestly, and not just to save Whiteout from a horrible boring life. I don't think Queen Diamond would have let Whiteout live after she laid her first clutch of eggs from whatever prince she was married off too. And like hell would Diamond have let Foeslayer OR Arctic go.
Arctic was just grasping for the last threads of hope he had, because at that time in his life, getting Foeslayer back was probably the only thing that kept him going.

After Darkstalker enchanted Arctic and forced him to kill himself, he didn't even get a proper burial. Nobody was left to care about him. The Nightwings certainly didn't, and Whiteout was probably too terrified of everything that had happened that night that she just wanted to get away from everything.

So as all the Nightwings fled their city, Arctic's body was left on the stage where he fell. And it probably stayed there forever too, until time turned his bones into dust. After all, no Icewings could enter the Night Kingdom to reclaim his body or bury him. He was completely abandoned and forgotten.

And that, to me, is tragic.
