(A landscape of true elegance is revealed to us. The magic of this realm is deeply interwoven into every fibre of reality. A young maiden lies in a crater in the ground. She has an almost avian look that extends to her base are soft snow white wings, with a slight green, shimmer to them, are attached. She appears to be semi-conscious....)

(The stage is softly lit. There is slight smoke around the crater.)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAZrnxSIFT15
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAu5MU9E2YoF
Protagonist: Where am I?
164Please respect copyright.PENANAU9b2HaOWSL
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
164Please respect copyright.PENANACYC9ErRd2r
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0dROlBZEu
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
164Please respect copyright.PENANArPQ82AizYk
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
164Please respect copyright.PENANA7hIwYXL6Hu
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAgwutoWflv0
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxMEdAVZp6I
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAE2lJM2WEoE
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
164Please respect copyright.PENANA7odv51uxFl
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAlavs7XM1PS
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
164Please respect copyright.PENANAwXfk7Jh4BQ
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAjwWlTfehz
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
164Please respect copyright.PENANAevtl5rPDzr
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
164Please respect copyright.PENANALIwzPkRPpV
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAt1nLLlk4No
Protagonist: Should I leap into the boundless sky, entrusting thy fate to these splendid, alas, untested wings to allow me to soar, at the risk of thy fragile frame? Still ,I stand upon a mighty knoll, wings unfurled, a desire to soar, not for thyself, but to do good, beckons thy heart. Yet beneath this noble cause a whisper of caution cautions thee to consider the risk.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAXna1hkQewY
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAi1GLaTZN8s
Protagonist: The earth, solid and unyielding, beckons me with its familiar embrace. While the sky with endless expands and possibilities, thy morality compels me leap.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkeGiCjSMyM
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGhDMlyOahT
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
164Please respect copyright.PENANAG0xTMZoqSj
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAcgWAxXFLbv
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAkVZfW8GoJO
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
164Please respect copyright.PENANAWTMboGUuZw
(The protagonist does not hear)
164Please respect copyright.PENANA5QT0kWBvYi
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
164Please respect copyright.PENANAiI6SThkRcZ
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAlOMynLOJiF
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAOSJ7VzuYKc
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYvnqgsRt3P
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAiOVQQTk9m1
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAdIDlkG1SQi
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmb3K6yDX8v
Protagonist: Who art thou?
164Please respect copyright.PENANAcQyAqyPwTg
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA6vNlUUKoNa

164Please respect copyright.PENANAA24oHukvQC
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
164Please respect copyright.PENANAbiqgpQlmAU
Ser Draconis: Thou dost not know? Fear not, for we shall uncover the truth together. Come let us embark on this journey.
