(They are on the ground)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeY9vtBcwR
Protagonist: The mist is thick, and these would seem endless. I thought we were close to the deposit.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzuZZjDnBZ
Lord Preen: Fear not, my dear. We shalt find it in due time. Let us press on.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kgOIMSPal
(They continue to wander, the fog grows denser)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9QqID3j6s
Protagonist: I can barely see a thing. Everything looks the same. We are lost already.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYGmJ10X82
Lord Preen: Lost, you say? how inconvenient. Let us split up. Perhaps one of us will find our way back.
Protagonist: Very well, but do be cautious. Lord Preen.

(They separate)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmK2bDZ1W0
(Lord Preen is alone on the stage, the spotlight is on him)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdllwnicLf
Lord Preen: (To himself) Ah, what a delightful twist of fate we find ourselves in. Lost in this labyrinth of mist and trees. A perfect opportunity, I dare say, to collect another trophy for my collection. What will they call me when they hear of the noble Lord Preens grand acquisition, I wonder?
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cPSEgSKiY
(Preen has drawn his handcrafted, clockwork enhanced bow)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDotSeIIZT
Protagonist: (returns to the stage)
L-Lord Preen? What art you doing here talking to yourself?
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJWuwpNesF
Lord Preen: (with a sinister tone) Ah, my dear, I thought it would be the perfect time for us to have a private conversation.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR1OmWbdX9
Protagonist: (concerned) A private conversation? But we art lost! And there is danger in these woods!
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiylVTxbJSN
Lord Preen: You see, my dear, I've had enough of the common world. I've acquired many trophies, but none as exquisite as the power of your wings. They could make me more than just a nobleman, you understand. They could make me a legend.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoURfPjndNf
Protagonist: (realising his malicious intent) You can not be serious... You would harm me for your own gain?
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3fX4Qao1o
Lord Preen: (with an unsettling smile) For power and prestige. One must make sacrifices, my dear. This forest shalt be the final resting place of our little secret.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBgKQxabSx
(Lord Preen is now aiming directly at her heart)
Protagonist: (Desperate but firm) Lord Preen, there is a better path than this. Your true worth is not measured by power or trophies.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Kd43u1e4
Lord Preen: (His aim wavers a little) My dear, thou hath voiced what lingers in my conscience. My obsession with status and acquisition of power, trophies, and vanities. They have driven me to this precipice. A precipice where I had resolved to murder for my own glory.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE2xL9L6jv
Protagonist: (Empathetic) It is never too late to change. To find the better version of yourself.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sxEnQLXNM
Lord Preen: (the bow lowers slightly) Indeed, the allure of my desires was strong, yet a glimmer of conscience remains. The path to redemption is steep. My inner demons may still lead me astray. But my dear, you have sparked the notion that perhaps, just perhaps, I may find salvation from my vanity.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB2lahGPl1
Lord Preen: (Voice heavy with emotion) You see, my father, a stern and unforgiving man, cares for nothing but legacy and lineage. My every achievement was a desperate attempt to please him, but it was never enough. He scorned every accomplishment ever dismissing me as a disappointment.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxOr3DhGbE
Protagonist: (Offering her hand) Let us take the first steps on this path together. Lord Preen, the choice is yours to make.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10aOFgJuXM
(Lord Preen pauses, then he puts his bow away)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1iM3nxOZS
Lord Preen: (taking her hand) Yes, I shall endeavour to make amends for my past transgressions. We shall navigate this labyrinthine forest as companions, not foes.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6tJee6ERM
(A glimmer can be seen nearby)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYLfGCn0w
Protagonist: Look, Lord Preen, what is that glimmer up ahead? (Pointing at glimmer)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntCOdWt8wH
Lord Preen: It seems to be coming from the nearby clearing...

(as they approach the deposit, the lights grow brighter and focus on it)
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDQ3yfdjm8
Protagonist: (with wonder)
Suspendium, we have found it!
