"Speak"
This story is a bit older, it was meant to follow a prince named Erin who runs away from home to avoid his princely duties to have adventures outside his structured and strict life. While in the background, the kingdoms were politically torn in a race war between humans and witches, Erin only sees the amazing world he’s never known. Not long after exploring outside the castle walls, he meets the storie’s co-protagonist, an Arborkinesis wielding nymph boy living in the wild, know to the villagers as “the beast of the castle woods.” Erin, enamored by the free lifestyle and wild nature of the nymph boy, leads way for their adventure, running from the human kingdom guards and meeting the fantastical beasts and residents of the land along the way.

Tested scene concept
Testing redesign for "Aron" (Undetermined)
A tested scene that involved Erin burning down a portion of his castle due a dark discovery made later in the story.
The original concept sketch the story was formed around, featuring a scene called "The Glowberry Pond."
Aron has the ability of "Arborkinesis" or "Plantlife manipulation," meaning he can speak to plantlife. Plantlife in this world is alive and all connected, with the ability to move on its own will. This is the reason Aron was able to survive in the wild as a baby and young child.
Early stage "Prince Erin" (age 5-6)
Early stages "Aron," he received his name when he meets Erin. The Prince being only about 5-6 when he sneaks out for the first time, "Aron" was the first name he could think of, it being basically his own. (Age 5-6)
