STYLE: hand-painted 2D Slavic folk-art animation — Bilibin / lubok / Orthodox-icon sensibility. Bold decorative ink outlines with visible line-weight variation, flat matte gouache color fills (poster-flat, minimal gradients), ornamental folk pattern work, strong readable silhouettes. Flat painted, posterized light — NO photoreal 3D shading, NO gloss. Cinematic 16:9 storyboard frame, high emotional readability. Match the FLAT decorative folk-art look of the attached character sheets (Igor + Artyom + Misha + Kirill + Lastochka + The Devil): same bold ink linework, flat gouache fills, lubok / icon flatness, ornament. Keep every character exactly on-model — same face, hair, proportions, costume, ornament. ATTACHMENT ORDER: 1st IGOR — short light-brown spiky hair, black leather armor, red sash, katana at his hip, both arms whole. 2nd ARTYOM — shoulder-length dark-blond hair, brown leather armor, moss-green cloak, empty-handed now. 3rd MISHA — tall and thin, messy brown hair, large clear-framed glasses, grey-blue armor, slate-blue hooded cape, empty-handed. 4th KIRILL — round young face, heavy dark-brown fringe, ochre armor, dark-red scarf-hood. 5th LASTOCHKA — ash-blonde braid, cream shirt, dark-red sarafan. 6th THE DEVIL — goat skull with curling ram horns, smoke-flame mane, soot-black skin cracked with ember lines, crimson-and-black caftan with chains, a sword stuck in his left eye and a naginata in his right eye. ONLY THESE SIX CHARACTERS. Nobody else. FULL-BLEED: fill the entire frame edge to edge. NO ornamental border, NO frame, NO margins. TEXT: no text or lettering in the image. CAMERA: low, just behind the rune circle. The five friends in the near foreground at the bottom of the frame, seen from behind and in three-quarter view, all turned toward the demon. The Devil in the middle distance, large, filling the upper part of the frame. SCENE: «Go Home»: The five stand together inside the rune circle carved flat into the stone ground; a rising column of teal light swallows them and they are already DISSOLVING from the feet up into flat teal folk particles — their legs gone to light, only their torsos, arms and heads still solid. All five are turned back toward the demon, SHOUTING at him in triumph: Igor with a raised fist, Kirill and Misha yelling with mouths wide open, Artyom with one arm around Lastochka's shoulders, Lastochka laughing through tears. Every hand belongs to someone and is visible. Across the clearing the blinded Devil «The Unmaker of Worlds» staggers, clawing at his own throat, the swallowed crystal of destruction blazing inside him: crimson light bursts out through the ember cracks of his skin, his chest and jaws glowing from within as he swells, the explosion a heartbeat away, flat crimson rays already fanning across the sky. Carved stone columns, pines, red dusk sky with a black sun. Mood: they won — and they are going home. NEGATIVE: no ornamental frame, no border, no margins, no 3D rendered depth, no photoreal skin, no gloss, no realistic render, no Latin text, no extra characters, no seventh figure, no one missing from the circle, no vertical magic circle, no portal ring in the air, no weapons in Artyom's or Misha's hands, no missing arm, no extra arms, no disembodied hands, no twisted anatomy, no human demon, no human face on the demon, no explosion yet swallowing the heroes, no realistic blood, no gore, no crude gestures.
