** Warning! Some scenes might be found Very disturbing to some. **

15/04/09 More News: It's still happening.

05/08/06 Additional News: I've updated the file with a new one. New fonts, less faulty grammar and replaced the old Lilium *opening version* song with the extended one. The transfer went... Swell. =) Please have a look.

Edit: Ok... Things are going too far. I had no IDEA where this submission would end up after posting it here on Newgrounds. And honest to God, I am overwhelmed by the response that I've got. I try to keep up with the reviews and mails that you send me. And if you sent a mail and I havn't responded, I am sorry... There are just so many. T.T

Based on the amount of reviews, I feel there is need for some (even further) explanation of stuff:
1. Some of you feel that the story is lacking and has no real substance. I understand this, since I had to cut it short because of the length of the song (which I had to edit and generaly murder to make it twice as long). The text fly by fast because of the same problem.
2. And as for the gory part... I try to keep open minded about things in the world and I dont get upset easily... Things I find minor offensive, others might find alot worse. And if you open your eyes a bit you'll realize that things like these actually DO happen.
3. Lilium... She's a special girl. Try to have that in mind before you judge her.
4. The Shadow and the Brother... There's a reason why he wanted her brother the way he was.
5. I didnt have any political thoughts with this movie... Whatever happens in the movie does not have anything to do with my political views on anything. Its just a story.
6. I am not a Goth. I am not Emo. I just like writing stories. I hate being labeled.
7. I did write the dialogue... Though it was a very bold move since I've never rhymed in all my life and English isnt my native language. (I'm Swedish for those who are curious.)
8. The song is from the Anime, Elfen Lied. At first when I saw the anime I was a bit stunned. But I loved it in a non-sadistic way (if that's possible). Some of you say my story is identical (or near it) to Elfen Lied's story... Which I find odd. Only similarity might be the excessive violence, other than that... No.

9. ... I am working on a sequel... And it will be alot different from this one.

*End of Edit*

This is my first Flash creation ever and it took about 4 days to complete. I had never before seen Flash in action so I pretty much learned as I went by... Never before have I sceamed that much and cried because the software didnt work with me... Still the thing came out pretty ok.
There isnt really any "animation" in this piece... Its more of a slideshow of sorts, telling of a very important event in the young girl, Lilium's, life.
The main thought of the movie was for it to work as a presentation for my RPG character (regular D&D style... Paper and Pen)... There are some written dialogue in there... Read fast! The script was longer than the song would alow... Enjoy!

P.S
Promise my next uploads will contain alot more animation and alot more action. ^^d

....O_o

Wow... that was truly weird, and slightly disturbing. The whole presentation was extremely well done, and the effect that the slides and text has, is truly masterful. The story that follows, is one of the most truly disturbing things I have seen on this site, that will pass judgment.

A sibling killing for evil, to gain friendship, is indeed, fitting for this morbid looking child.

Graphics: Simple, yet amazing in detail, though roughly drawn.

Style: Very gothic, with a nice twist on a silent movie idea, beautifully organized into a chilling story.

Sound: Without the movie playing, the score used is chilling, with the movie... Electrifyingly morbid, and emotional.

Violence: Well, killing ones mother, and aborting her unborn brother, to give the fetus to an evil shadow (el diablo, perhaps?) Would have to qualify as extremely violent, though subtle, albeit.

Interactivity: Custom preloader, custom button, and it successfully looped back to play when finished, is good enough for me.

Humor: N/A

Overall: I loved this submission, and will be watching for more of your work to come.

Fantastic and Artistic

This was an incredibly artistic and intriguing movie. Your gothic poetic style, while being quite dark, was able to keep me interested and awaiting the next step in the story.

Your characters, even the shadow were immediately likeable, even after their acts and your poetic dialogue and story was witty and interesting. The art, the choice of music- everything about this movie was brilliant.

A wonderful piece of art from you, and i look forward to seeing more from you which continue this style.
