(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....)

192Please respect copyright.PENANAgyitBSungn
Protagonist: Where am I?
192Please respect copyright.PENANADXgDN5oD3n

192Please respect copyright.PENANAtnAAXJ2VJa
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQFa2QH03ls
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)

192Please respect copyright.PENANAUJqevvmszM
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)

Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
192Please respect copyright.PENANAudaqqqUikk
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWG33LNq9qr
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
192Please respect copyright.PENANAgGJOzZnnkY
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)
192Please respect copyright.PENANAgbtklhF63C

(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
192Please respect copyright.PENANAm3yL9iLn9G
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)

192Please respect copyright.PENANAskFXjs3zDK
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUgzxJR4FQt
