The ideea for this storyboard came to me years ago when i first heard a song of Blue Stahli with the same title : www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW7tg0yqfEY&feature=youtu.be
I searched it some more and found a pre-released version of this song called Pour Elle : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygnDEzXc11o&feature=youtu.be

It reminded me of some audio/musical stories our music teacher showed me when i was in gymnasium. Pour Elle gave me this great graphic idea for this storyboard where the piano could represent 'the Pure' (the boy) and the raw electric guitar can represent 'the Tainted'(the man)

Description: Cosmic forces manifest into a humanoid shape on a hard to reach stone on Earth. The shape signals out to any nearby human to come at it. The signal reaches both a boy (the Pure) and a man (the Tainted) and they both run to her as fast as possible.When they arrive, they see that the signal was sent by a woman, not human but celestial. She asks for assistance and knowledge, and who can achieve to impress/reach her in time, would share his life with her.
The boy promises her all the beauty this world has to offer. The man offers her all the luxury his world has to offer. All these offerings seemed to physical for her and she refused both of them.The boy then offered her all the hidden knowledge of his world...


...The man offered her true protection and sacrifice and that in fact he would climb right at her to proove it. The woman was interested but did not respond. The boy felt ignored and stopped promising her anything anymore, kneeled and started to meditate. As the man was climbing towards his desire, he was attaked by an eagle. Even though the boy was appearing as if he was doing nothing, and the man was bruting around with an eagle, the celestial woman was watching both of them with interest..


...Suddenly, a glowing shape just came next to her. It was the boy, he used his hidden knowledge to ascend into a Pure spirit and reach her. But right after, the man reached her too, with the eagle's wing stitched to himself, he comited a crime and became Tainted only to keep his promise.

The woman could not be with anyone, as neither came on time, and she was summoned back by the celestial forces. The Pure, now ascended, could not walk the earth anymore , so he was called to heavens. While the Tainted, after comiting a crime of mutilating himself and another life, signed his way to hell. Nothing was found near the stone after that night but the souless body of the Pure boy.
