Shamans

A short animated story made in classic 2D.
The group of shamans performs a mysterious ritual at the summoning of a fire demon.
Who could have guessed that magic would connect the leader of the shamans with a couple of hippies?
Different times and spaces are always connected. And surprisingly, the goals of people from different eras can coincide.
