(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....)

(The stage is softly lit. There is slight smoke around the crater.)
139Please respect copyright.PENANA0n94VLrYfm
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAqFzApkQW5i
Protagonist: Where am I?
139Please respect copyright.PENANA29pndJUHTC
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
139Please respect copyright.PENANAFSzyHEYRl6
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAGsYf7tTsBO
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAos2SSHhbZf
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
139Please respect copyright.PENANASQauYNSV2a
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAHI2dqVDElU
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAaYmXx93HrJ
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAsmGexhEIHg
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
139Please respect copyright.PENANA423wug6fgx
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
139Please respect copyright.PENANA5UhDlTAPS8
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
139Please respect copyright.PENANAHWERNdcy24
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAEHIc7Qsrr1
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
139Please respect copyright.PENANAkXeF3MQjlz
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAXX7FP7MtEq
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAaaSqrllZQk
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.
139Please respect copyright.PENANAZJuZPdWx1y
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAhT1okkRHvu
Protagonist: The earth, solid and unyielding, beckons me with its familiar embrace. While the sky with endless expands and possibilities, thy morality compels me leap.
139Please respect copyright.PENANAvslYHmrDO4
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAeoaH3khGJl
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
139Please respect copyright.PENANASUIzVZKXJG
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
139Please respect copyright.PENANA2k5XCE3OLt
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAwj1lSwvcAP

139Please respect copyright.PENANAiN6hUPM5Na
(The protagonist does not hear)
139Please respect copyright.PENANA233bIvy00q

Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
139Please respect copyright.PENANA8dyGlV2hvC
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
139Please respect copyright.PENANARrmpifFbNF
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
139Please respect copyright.PENANApGhNaJuFNl
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAOrBcRMxCj2
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
139Please respect copyright.PENANAzVICRvpuEo
