Here is the continuation of the first episode of Runic titled "Bowen". The next part will be up next weekend. As a side note, I WILL be putting this all into a leica reel/animatic once the whole episode is boarded out. Hope you like it. Feel free to send me any feedback to make this better. I hope that this one is easier to read!

A few soldiers are standing around a burning house. One man on horseback who is larger than the others.

SOLDIER 1: Heh...

SOLDIER 1 (CON'T): ...Look what we have here!

BOY (MUFFLED): LEH MEH GAW!

Thanks. MUCH more to come as this is the start of a big story I have. I am enjoying doing this traditionally so far. I plan to make it into an animatic once the first chapter is completed.

And here is Chapter 1 Part 3 of Runic. Hope some people are enjoying this.

The interior of a barn with hay thrown about everywhere.

Here's a very rough animatic of the story so far. I warn you I recorded the audio late and very VERY rough first pass for temp dialogue.

brohmyr 2019-08-10 05:26:55 UTC #7

Going to post the next part a day late (sunday instead of saturday) as there is a LOT of content that will be included, basically doubling what is currently uploaded! I don't want to rush it too much.

brohmyr 2019-08-11 18:25:43 UTC #8

Here is the next Part (another is being posted now too!) Hope you enjoy!

SOLDIER 1: There. Nice and snug.

SOLDIER 1: Goodbye, mouse.

SFX: CRACKLE of fire spreading

BOWEN: NO! Let me go!

BOWEN (CON'T): Please! I don't want to die!

BOWEN (CON'T): PLEASE!

SOLDIER 1: Funny...

SOLDIER 1 (CON'T): Your mom said the exact same thing before getting roasted.

BOWEN: So...

BOWEN (CON'T): ...this is it.

SOLDIER 1: hugghhh....

BROHMYR: Bowen?

BROHMYR (CON'T): SON! Thank the Gods you're still alive!

BROHMYR: Are you alright?

BOWEN: Mom...she's....

BROHMYR: I know.

BROHMYR: We don't have much time.

BROHMYR: I need you to listen to me carefully.

BROHMYR (CON'T): I'm going to distract them out there...

BROHMYR (CON'T): ...while you escape.

BROHMYR (CON'T): I want you to run as fast as you can...

BROHMYR (CON'T): ...and go east to Port Tansiron.

BROHMYR (CON'T): ...aaaaannnnnnnddddddddd......

BROHMYR: Take this to protect yourself.

BROHMYR: When I go outside, count to ten slowly...

BROHMYR (CON'T): ...then run, okay?

BROHMYR: Son. I know this is asking a lot. And it's not fair.

BROHMYR (O.S.): And that you miss your mother.

BROHMYR (CON'T) : I miss her too.

BROHMYR (CON'T) : ...But we have to get out of this alive.

BROHMYR (O.S.): Can you be brave...

BROHMYR (O.S.): ...for me?

BOWEN: sniff

BROHMYR: Good.

BROHMYR: You can do this.

BROHMYR: I'll be right behind you.

BROHMYR (WHISPERING): Ready?
