(They are on the ground)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqSf0djpgV
Protagonist: The mist is thick, and these would seem endless. I thought we were close to the deposit.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IENIxC4ux
Lord Preen: Fear not, my dear. We shalt find it in due time. Let us press on.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogOOQOG8X2
(They continue to wander, the fog grows denser)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyacZXLkvJh
Protagonist: I can barely see a thing. Everything looks the same. We are lost already.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfKtnk6o0m
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)

(Lord Preen is alone on the stage, the spotlight is on him)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBda8Cgu4IQ
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?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b3CsBjOfI
(Preen has drawn his handcrafted, clockwork enhanced bow)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVxPIhagFS
Protagonist: (returns to the stage)
L-Lord Preen? What art you doing here talking to yourself?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFpd5iIugn
Lord Preen: (with a sinister tone) Ah, my dear, I thought it would be the perfect time for us to have a private conversation.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBV7gWkr7
Protagonist: (concerned) A private conversation? But we art lost! And there is danger in these woods!
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYJTs7ftzd
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscDlqaMT3o
Protagonist: (realising his malicious intent) You can not be serious... You would harm me for your own gain?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkAzUsYFOl
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SI4g6SNyC
(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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A2dID15Dl
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DpgbUGBXh
Protagonist: (Empathetic) It is never too late to change. To find the better version of yourself.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz4TJiwcrB
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HeVlg7XcP
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssspzlZJRW
Protagonist: (Offering her hand) Let us take the first steps on this path together. Lord Preen, the choice is yours to make.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMukIGQcz7
(Lord Preen pauses, then he puts his bow away)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOyrsk37c5
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmfTaUxsPi
(A glimmer can be seen nearby)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr05ShqPWf
Protagonist: Look, Lord Preen, what is that glimmer up ahead? (Pointing at glimmer)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dWGZ1tbDr
Lord Preen: It seems to be coming from the nearby clearing...

(as they approach the deposit, the lights grow brighter and focus on it)
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvSoy1LUNA
Protagonist: (with wonder)
Suspendium, we have found it!

(The lights dim to nothing)
