One of my EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf short stories that I have been working on several years ago, which got put on the back burner for a while, is now being worked on again. The plot synopsis: Empath faces the day when his innocence as a Smurf is being put to the test, when he must deal with a shameful secret thing he did in Psychelia that he would rather leave buried in the past.
Here's an image that goes with this particular story:

It is hard to live with such a secret, and even harder to deal with it when all you want to do is to forget about it. Very nice picture i like it. By the way it associates me with Enigma`s song "Back to the Rivers Of Belief".
Again very nice work ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Part of the inspiration for that story is the cartoon episode "For The Love Of Gargamel", where Gargamel accidentally turns himself and Azrael into stone, and Papa Smurf has Tracker find some ingredient for a potion that reverses the effect, despite his little Smurfs' efforts to convince him that bringing Gargamel back to life wouldn't be a good idea. The story showed the importance of Smurfs respecting and saving all lives, even the likes of their enemies, and that they would be no better than humans if they chose to do otherwise. I thought it would be important to show a story where some Smurf had to face the consequence of taking a life.
This story-in-progress is referenced in two of my completed EMPATH short stories, "Where No Smurf Has Gone Before" and "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette".

The story is nearly finished. It will be five chapters long, with at least the first four chapters ready to be posted at FanFiction.net. The fifth chapter needs a poem to be created, since this is what Empath writes as a sort of post-humous message to his fellow Smurfs in the likelihood that he would be judged guilty by the Pool of Souls.

Chapter 5 is now finished. It's now also available on my website, complete with its own intro sequence.

Another picture I just created recently for my "Innocence Of A Smurf" short story, now that I got Simply 3D running on my computer again -- this time depicting a scene when young Empath Smurf goes through the cleansing ritual with Tapper Smurf in a John the Baptist-type role:
