Lapinaia - The Price of Salvation

Lapinaia - The Price of Salvation is an Adobe animated short created by MartmeisterPaladin, starring Artorius Revana.
== Synopsis ==
Upon the surface of the planet Lapinaia, a great blue serpent attacked the natives, breathing a great torrent of lightning that demolished caverns, burrows and buildings alike.
In the distance, Artorius Revana appeared and, drawing his sword, he took off in pursuit of the great ophidian terror, to the shock of a large green Lapinaian. Fearing for her life, the Lapinaian ducked back into her burrow to hide, only to have an attack of conscience. Seeing the (relatively) little knight fly to fight the serpent alone, she resolved to help as best she could, summoning her druidic powers to summon a magical egg.
Meanwhile, the great serpent continued its attack, threatening the lives of a Lapinaian family. In the nick of time, Artorius struck the serpent, blinding it in one eye and throwing off its aim. Undeterred, the serpent countered, hurling Artorius into the rubble with a mighty strike of its tail, only for Artorius to strike it full in the chest and throw it bodily over his shoulder, away from the settlement. The fight ended in a joust between Artorius and the serpent, the serpent's jaws opening wide to swallow him whole. In a mighty stroke, Artorius decapitated the serpent before plunging the blade of his sword into its crown, demolishing it upon impact.
A victorious Artorius turned to leave, only to be met by the Lapinaian family he'd saved, the parent offering a paw in friendship. The magic egg interrupted the diplomatic handshake by its late arrival, landing full on Artorius before shattering into shards to reveal... Artorius, shocked and dazed but unhurt. And sporting two massive front teeth. And gigantic fuzzy feet. And a humongous gut. Within seconds, Artorius swelled and fattened into a titanic Lapinaian, towering over even the natives. The worries of the apologetic natives were dispelled as Artorius laughed it all off and offered them all a hug before he began helping in the rebuilding.

== Trivia ==
* Lapinaia - The Price of Salvation is a remake of two animations from 2013 and 2014, both of which followed the same premise - Artorius (and Cathea) defeating a giant serpent to rescue a planet of bunny people.
* Work began on this animation in 2016, and was all but abandoned until January 2021, when work resumed. Completion was set for Easter 2021, and then St. George's Day 2021 when the deadline was missed.
