(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.)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcAhcuNAq0m
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5ybjQqJcJm
Protagonist: Where am I?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAf9VshnUraT
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUoC8k7d46W
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsTngmMqH9T
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlsrDyXAhYJ
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvfT93RIWpO
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqy7b8s90l0
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAjZ9d76hm6
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAu5nCv2sp1g
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAX4N6gM90nh
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAh9kEoWACG6
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
111Please respect copyright.PENANARxJXtHn1l1
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt2AWtXlwuv
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgvunjl0RpI
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAI27vlSgzMy
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdK0v4RKpeL
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUixqjrYgrf
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyinVAPT1ub
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANADcovsXz98N
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAc3Ysef7dFH
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsyPkJ1EhGk
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvu2Fgb4e1K
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqcTpyxCfXU
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfwkT1DdJ72
(The protagonist does not hear)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtvXxodv9ia
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4TxW2KcgY9
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAI5mdYRJ96A
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVOSvNnOeln
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoriRR4sC1D
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2GRUnhgk2
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGq77dBkyGc
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAc6t8SfvbOI
Protagonist: Who art thou?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjl384CRxgI
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQvmjrMB8qv
Protagonist: (too stunned to respond)
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhG0uchkK4E
Ser Draconis: Fair maiden with wings, thou art a sight to behold, what brings thee to our realm?
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ov1ExaXdG
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
111Please respect copyright.PENANA15dMyyDA8f
Ser Draconis: Thou dost not know? Fear not, for we shall uncover the truth together. Come let us embark on this journey.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd6sBJ0DLrW
