Some deleted scenes from the "Offering" animation. 25 seconds is both longer and shorter than you think, and there's just not enough time for this intro. Plus it's supposed to look like he's being dragged in by an unseen force, but it looks more like he's sliding into home plate - so it would need a bit of rework.
Have his left leg in the air, off the ground, bend the ankle at a slight angle, maybe wiggle it slightly during the segment until the leg drops down. I -think- that might get the effect you're looking for, that he's being pulled/dragged in.
