(They are on the ground)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAa0b332fL
Protagonist: The mist is thick, and these would seem endless. I thought we were close to the deposit.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IdgdSHt8w
Lord Preen: Fear not, my dear. We shalt find it in due time. Let us press on.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkqLYpF9vj
(They continue to wander, the fog grows denser)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj7rASLlx7
Protagonist: I can barely see a thing. Everything looks the same. We are lost already.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbCGasvzIl
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)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ra9zf2aXc
(Lord Preen is alone on the stage, the spotlight is on him)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iWwjzyzs3
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?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDeSWITmGv
(Preen has drawn his handcrafted, clockwork enhanced bow)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GVNv0jp7y
Protagonist: (returns to the stage)
L-Lord Preen? What art you doing here talking to yourself?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavlvaUj3k0
Lord Preen: (with a sinister tone) Ah, my dear, I thought it would be the perfect time for us to have a private conversation.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb93TGJBk7w
Protagonist: (concerned) A private conversation? But we art lost! And there is danger in these woods!
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MN5WBxO8c
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.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzMYVbnk83
Protagonist: (realising his malicious intent) You can not be serious... You would harm me for your own gain?
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEj1y5Xp9c
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.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM5q5MCzHG
(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.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB4InaxtDJ
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.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJjPhGoHso
Protagonist: (Empathetic) It is never too late to change. To find the better version of yourself.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM8y40agDO
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.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8AfxDG0Fq
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.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2FOeWH9qG
Protagonist: (Offering her hand) Let us take the first steps on this path together. Lord Preen, the choice is yours to make.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejwSjia4iK
(Lord Preen pauses, then he puts his bow away)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf6L9O3GVy
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.
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtzwhZPXXF
(A glimmer can be seen nearby)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZOZ01Mkk
Protagonist: Look, Lord Preen, what is that glimmer up ahead? (Pointing at glimmer)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTVWK5646o
Lord Preen: It seems to be coming from the nearby clearing...

(as they approach the deposit, the lights grow brighter and focus on it)
132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzIBZ3TEqK
Protagonist: (with wonder)
Suspendium, we have found it!

(The lights dim to nothing)
