The basic back story is that while Kaelyn and the other warriors of his village were off fighting, their enemies eluded them and attacked the village, burning it to the ground. Luckily a scout saw them coming and they were able to escape without any loss of life, but now Lurichan is separated from her love. It is difficult to hide from a dangerous enemy, yet make oneself known to an ally.
I'm sure a lot of people don't realize this, so I'll say it now... Not all kinds of fairies have wings. (I'm sure someone will watch the entire animation and be super confused because they don't see any little pixies with wings, only two pointy eared people that must be elves... No... they're not... They're faye... Anyway...)
This is ENTIRELY frame by frame. Not a single tween. It was sort of a challenge really, it's kind of strange looking at your time line and seeing all grey boxes.
I think this would have come out better if I'd had a chance to practice with my tablet for more than just a weekend before making it, and done a little bit more actual frame by frame animation.
