(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.)
205Please respect copyright.PENANARslat8qvk6
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9vPwkW2nUt
Protagonist: Where am I?
205Please respect copyright.PENANAGGCFPCOIla
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
205Please respect copyright.PENANAnssvWhLhVE
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAl9rNExxOD1
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3vDcssTXQ6
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAlz9E5wj5Or
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAyysjVPFJqF
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
205Please respect copyright.PENANALEQTykFiND
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMRghD4aVnC
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAa5JYQvbAso
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAax0pn6MUmg
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
205Please respect copyright.PENANA6uyboSml5W
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8DFfIBASsm
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
205Please respect copyright.PENANAyVTFNhrwPM
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAP4s1NqPdZI
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJAC4DQVzlp
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9fNpKccbGi
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAIunB9lXW8f
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAaarvXecQqV
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
205Please respect copyright.PENANABSyOHJ5l8j
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
205Please respect copyright.PENANANk412ZqMyI
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7OwhSP4nus
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7swByaMTzz
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
205Please respect copyright.PENANAokYtMkpeIY
(The protagonist does not hear)
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5xbx4r3tRG

Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjoODCy5cs8
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
205Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZgGOtva8S
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJRbhUNJQB2
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
205Please respect copyright.PENANAl1N4sQP7wi
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
205Please respect copyright.PENANApnbuRWE5Ml
