Rough Storyboard Animation for the Proof of Concept
Completed in ClipStudioPaintEX
Azden Ashenmoore sits at his makeshift work-station, crafting Fire-Runes. As his Father, Jakob, meditates inside of Cap'n Russ' cabin, his curiosity is piqued by a strange little creature scurrying about on the fields above the cove. After being noticed, the small Splinter runs to the edge of the Glen, eluding Azden's grasp and escaping into the treeline.
Azden stops short - despite the adventure that calls from his heart, and the thrill of the chase that led him there, his Father had expressly forbade him from leaving the safety of the meadow on the cape. The Glen beyond was known for having all kinds of wildlife, many of which wouldn't think twice about gobbling up a young man like him. Before Azden can retreat back to the safety of the cove however, another figure bursts from the brush, carrying a small bundle and calling the boy by name.
Bewildered, Azden is barely able to ask how this stranger came to be there (Or how he could possibly know the boy) before being passed the bundle and told to flee. Just as quickly, this intruder and his Stag disappear in a burst of flames, leaving Azden alone with what appears to be a sleeping baby! Her ears are slender and pointed, and beside what he perceives to be a sleeping spell is nestled a dozing Monarch Butterfly, the Crest of the Western Dryads. Mere moments pass before another being descends from the shaded canopies of the Glen. Azden is beset by a hoard of terrifying Spyder Devils, screeching and flailing desperately to retrieve the small bundle in his arms. Barely escaping their clutches, Azden calls out for his father to protect him. Lucky for Azden, Jakob knows a thing or two about the art of battle - through spellfire and rage does Jakob ascend, tearing into the ashen beasts with the cold resilience of a seasoned veteran.
