Murciel, the Shadow Messenger 🦇
(with sound/music by me)
Video Description
We open on an exterior shot of an enormous castle amidst fog and mountains, and the camera moves up a singularly tall tower. A tiny black shape can be seen moving across the night sky toward it, silhouetted by the moon.
We zoom in to the shape, a gloopy black bat-like thing with wings dripping purple haze and a single red glowing eye, flapping away.
Now we're inside the stone tower, looking out an open window framed by lit candles. The bat-thing flies inside and glides in below frame -- a burst of pink light, purple smoke and black ink erupts, and we tilt down to find the bat has transformed into a woman. She has grey skin, goopy black hair covering one eye, black wings dripping purple haze, and pointed batlike ears. She wears a red collar with a scroll attached to it, black bridal gloves and stirrup thigh-highs, and a cross-laced corset leotard (in the alternate version, she wears nothing on her body).
"Milord." she says. "Your humble servant has returned."
