(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....)

193Please respect copyright.PENANAlHHvs1ZRMO
Protagonist: Where am I?
193Please respect copyright.PENANA7O1nzWYfQ1
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
193Please respect copyright.PENANAlcLhawNNvX
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAATTPvZhQ3o
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAErWzFw0o1x
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
193Please respect copyright.PENANA1jpY1zZHT0

193Please respect copyright.PENANAGGUwbvW1dk
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAmoy1fnZn5G
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAR19mnvy3d0
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAGmUN93X51Z
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
193Please respect copyright.PENANANUMMdZ7pGK

193Please respect copyright.PENANAVoWtzAGQXq
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
193Please respect copyright.PENANA2597aGhCoZ
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAOZX57u0a8H
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
193Please respect copyright.PENANA86aorazbEC
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.

(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAPp7MUII5oI

193Please respect copyright.PENANAlHQhls2Gs2
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
193Please respect copyright.PENANA1AdfUzULcC
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)

193Please respect copyright.PENANAjOEYe7iKNh
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)

(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAdKnrzIeiAP
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
193Please respect copyright.PENANAnkamCGlKbn
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
193Please respect copyright.PENANA8GyNAO7Dn5
