Aslemn's Custom Maple Stuff

Had some ideas lately and tried on making a cutscene. The characters took me approximately 3 hours, done on SAI and Photoshop CS3.

Thought of making something related to Athena, since she always sounded like the leader of everything in Victoria Island.

"In her past, she helped Aran to rescue the citizens of Minar. Not only that, but she helped to protect the Maple World agains't the Black Mage.
But she holds a secret. Many years before everything happened, she had a daughter with Phyllius, while she still lived in Eurel.

Finding that she was being an obstacle to him, the Black Mage noticed that Eurel was protected by the spell placed by Mercedes, but began to seek for Athena.
Athena returned to Eurel, but noticed her daughter ran away from home when all the battle near Eurel started.

She asked Phyllius and he was already cursed and cold. She ran away and began to look for Lily. Athena had an incredible amount of knowledge, she learned a lot living in Ellin Forest's Library building, and had the knowledge to find the source of power that the Black Magician wanted when he came to Ellin Forest and poisoned it.

Athena is told that Lily is with the Black Mage. He asks for the map, that was hidden in Ellin Forest, and that could lead to the Legendary World Tree, that is an incredible source of power.

Athena asked the elders, and although they wanted her to search for another way, she decided that her daughter's life was what did matter. So, she was told to meet him in the Dark Forest, an unknown place that could hide many secrets.

She gives the map to one of his generals, and demands to see her daughter. They escape, and she's left alone in there.
She can feel that her daughter is inside that forest, and then begins to look for her. Many hours later, she begins to give up until she sees a hand near some bushes.

She runs, expecting to find her daughter untouched, since she fulfilled the pact she made with the Black Mage. But instead, she finds her daughter dead, with a dark arrow in her chest.

Her daughter was as cold as the citizens in Eurel, she cried, and hugged her daughter's body. She hears some noise, Akyrum warped to there demanded by the Black Mage, and tries to kill her. Filled with anger and sadness, Athena fights Akyrum, and is able to defeat him.



But once she does it, Akyrum warps her away from the forest. She's locked inside a room in Time Temple, but manages to escape.
She cries when she gets back to Victoria, knowing that both of her most beloved people are away from her, and cursed.

She promises to herself to take revenge for it. And rebuilds her life alongside a whole civilization in Victoria Island, until the present day, when she can finally meet Phyllius, and tell him what happened when Eurel gates reopen.

What she didn't know, was that her daughter was not dead, but cursed with Black Magic. The black arrow penetrated her heart, and removed the feelings she had. She lost her memory, her feelings.

A young girl with an amazing talent for Magic, turns into a demon, a woman with an incredible amount of strength. Lilian, the little elf from Eurel, is now Lilith, the right-hand woman of the Black Mage".

Still working on writting the rest of this story, as well as more images for that. :>
