(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.)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAzxJKKpsEhU
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAVWwdRYES0I
Protagonist: Where am I?
191Please respect copyright.PENANABhwViO06Nb
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
191Please respect copyright.PENANATX0TtDuOit
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAuGW3gduMe6
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAav7cjLDOIG
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAvoQXL5W59d
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
191Please respect copyright.PENANA0gljyUCSpx
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
191Please respect copyright.PENANA0qWkOdOlVX
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAJWmkQt9Ly1
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
191Please respect copyright.PENANA3HJFm4ZSYT
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
191Please respect copyright.PENANA2cPbZkvNCO
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
191Please respect copyright.PENANA0aFwzSoph7
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAkUV5hV42hO
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
191Please respect copyright.PENANA8iXjfj9F5w
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAdGecn0mnna
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
191Please respect copyright.PENANADiJUyMqAw0
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAFnVZigu6Xi
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
191Please respect copyright.PENANA9EbrU62ABl
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.
191Please respect copyright.PENANAYK7T6oiasF
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAkK4BOn5vss
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
191Please respect copyright.PENANARiErJiLxJc
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAPmUtlKXa5A
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
191Please respect copyright.PENANA32SJhrpYGQ
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
191Please respect copyright.PENANA9Kcgnju1id
(The protagonist does not hear)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAFegzBTWiVK

Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAGF83579onM
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAPcb0mJ9TI0
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAbJcSY3hKYy
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAf0HdDrtpGd
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
191Please respect copyright.PENANAKVrmihkmjE

Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
191Please respect copyright.PENANABX0gNshFeH

191Please respect copyright.PENANAbEmFNMswvP
