(The scenery has changed to more challenging terrain. Both the protagonist and her newfound companion are traversing a steep path, valleys, and more mountains(not snow-capped) can be seen in the background)

Protagonist Ser, I must know why you have taken us to this remote place. What purpose do these hills and valleys hold for us?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASMxWaYZra
Ser Draconis: Exalted winged one, we seek the Adapetus Mechanical, he may hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of those curious wings of yours. He is a master of contraptions and machines, a scholar of the arcane, and a kind soul. If anyone can aid us in comprehending the purpose of these wings, it is he.

(The Dragoon Knight is cut off by a whirring sound, soft at first, then rather loud)

(Enter the Adapetus Mechanical)

Adapetus Mechanical: (steps out onto the deck of his mighty flying machine, roaring with crazed laughter at the expression on both of the travellers' faces)
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nnvdPwg2w
(He wears a red flight suit with brass buttons, he wears brass goggles, his hair is greying and unkempt, and he is, in short, a steampunk mad scientist)

Adapetus Mechanical (A.M): Beware, ye daring interlopers, for thou hast trespassed upon the realm of thyself, the Adapetus Mechanical The maestro of machines! The sultan of steam! What dire purpose hath guided thee to these elevated chamber of fine, mechanical marvels? Dost Thou seek enlightenment regarding those majestic wings? Or art thou merely enticed by the resounding thunder of my ingenious contraptions? Speak thou intentions swiftly, for the skys canvas is a precarious precipice indeed! And here nought is as it may seem.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DslTZLsxk
(satisfied with his rambling introduction, A.M grins to himself somewhat madly)

(Bellowing to A.M) We have journeyed in search of answers, to unlock the mysteries of the wings (The Dragoon Knight motions to the protagonist) Pray, Wise Adapetus, can thou offer wisdom regarding this strange matter?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiTuxllXsT

(As the plank slowly extends from the Airship, the Adapetus Mechanical continues to remain silent, a mischievous grin playing on his face, letting the dramatic action speak for itself to add an air of mystery to the moment)
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Hf08X895
Protagonist: (Softly) I must admit, I am filled with worry at the idea of boarding this contraption. The skies have always been so vast and open, and this flying machine seems unsafe. Can we truly trust this eccentric inventor, Ser?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ2JpzoK6c
