(They are on the ground)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCY7SUafIX
Protagonist: The mist is thick, and these would seem endless. I thought we were close to the deposit.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhZwL8C75t
Lord Preen: Fear not, my dear. We shalt find it in due time. Let us press on.

(They continue to wander, the fog grows denser)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKTQ4OIqM6
Protagonist: I can barely see a thing. Everything looks the same. We are lost already.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWYM8edceT
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)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLQHTURCr9
(Lord Preen is alone on the stage, the spotlight is on him)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivIT1IiY60
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?
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XcrVubtdB
(Preen has drawn his handcrafted, clockwork enhanced bow)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6pkB0Kvke
Protagonist: (returns to the stage)
L-Lord Preen? What art you doing here talking to yourself?
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhJQNzVlnS
Lord Preen: (with a sinister tone) Ah, my dear, I thought it would be the perfect time for us to have a private conversation.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9q35CHO1q
Protagonist: (concerned) A private conversation? But we art lost! And there is danger in these woods!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oekKK2dTu
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27nnbu2YPM
Protagonist: (realising his malicious intent) You can not be serious... You would harm me for your own gain?
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSQTwRiU36
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XsVMCcQHF
(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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub8O94r4j9
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UuOMZ7aHA
Protagonist: (Empathetic) It is never too late to change. To find the better version of yourself.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FlwswedEX
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFeQod2OOn
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p0Pa0H3Rt
Protagonist: (Offering her hand) Let us take the first steps on this path together. Lord Preen, the choice is yours to make.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIQeb11tyf
(Lord Preen pauses, then he puts his bow away)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJMf6wfsZt
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMpqiHMLKB
(A glimmer can be seen nearby)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIRKZ3w0m2
Protagonist: Look, Lord Preen, what is that glimmer up ahead? (Pointing at glimmer)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhiX3kP4Xj
Lord Preen: It seems to be coming from the nearby clearing...
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZIzQQ9rkZ
(as they approach the deposit, the lights grow brighter and focus on it)
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cjUkNyRPi
Protagonist: (with wonder)
Suspendium, we have found it!

(The lights dim to nothing)
