(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....)

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2F5zHtNUS
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qb22SiM9P
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9BXwBIa9Q
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebUVCInC0x

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNofdA8GPD

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBnHphcNY6
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC9ptEjDSg
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVN1OaRXju
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 begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5RIJJbF1Q

209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz7U3RPsgQ
