Meridian, Volume 2 (Episodes 8-14) (Motion Comic)

In a faraway, floating city in the sky, a young girl named Sephie finds herself saddled with the remarkable obligation of political leadership. Her father, who was once minister of the city of Meridian, dies unexpectedly, and leaves the peace-loving kingdom entirely in his orphan child's hands. Her shameless capitalist uncle, the minister of nearby city Cadador, offers to take her under his wing and introduce her to the world of politics, but Sephie soon discovers that Ilan is not the kindly relative she once believed him to be. Now, Sephie must not only rule the city, but fend off evildoers from Cadador whose mission is to stop her at all costs. Fortunately, she has been inexplicably endowed with mystical powers of healing and other superheroic abilities. In these episodes, Sephie's uncle and nemesis Ilan tries to destroy her by casting her out into space. Falling from the sky is usually followed by certain death, but Sephie survives thanks to her newfound magical gifts. Faced with great dangers, Sephie tries to return to her beloved city of Meridian to save it from the evil influence of Ilan and his Cadadonian henchmen. The artfully drawn, finely shadowed illustrations of a stunning fantasy world are rendered surprisingly lifelike throughout the production.
