"The Three and The Nine" D&D Campaign Intro (Concept)

"When an important bell preventing danger breaks and a
feud breaks out between the goats and unicorns, Kid, a spontaneous baby goat, must find a way to warn of the danger that's closing in and unite the divided herds before it's too late.""Unikid" is a 2D animated comedy short (2-3 minutes) following Kid, a baby goat full of energy, as they yearn to have fun and be free despite a growing feud between a herd of stubborn goats and a herd of pompous unicorns. However, the fate of both herds rely on Kid, seeing as the growing fights seem to attract a pack of wolves in the outskirts of the fenced pasture, and they are the only one who sees them snaking closer and closer.
Will Kid unite the crowds in time and take down the creatures, or will it be too late?
