Mages Guard Crystal(?)


I was originally going to have this in the illustrated segment but figured it would be hard to connect the scenes together as well if it were placed between the pictures of the banished demon in the crystal and the picture of the monastery as it would become less clear they are in the same place. It also wouldn't be clear where this picture was set unless the viewer was shown the monastery, first.

So I opted instead to have this picture shown after the mage enters the door, having walked to it previously. So I was still able to make use of this picture. I animated it slightly by keeping the rings, crystal and mages on separate layers so that the rings could hover up and down.

Initially this picture was supposed to look like they were containing the Terror. However it could just as well be that the mages are tampering with it for their own ends. The viewer is left to their own devices as to what to make of it as the title appears shortly after, establishing the scene for a full length film or animation as a transmedia possibility.
