(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.)
146Please respect copyright.PENANA8aSLi2OmDT
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAnEpmgW1wZH
Protagonist: Where am I?
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ba4URbW1X
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
146Please respect copyright.PENANArozgbrZFHl
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUCMsOZG56l
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAAr1SB2Khth
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAT98hbLOW5X
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
146Please respect copyright.PENANACUwB0EH9sj
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqr0Uo82LYu
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAD2gcpX2PGc
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKqyDNWqis5
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFkXOTyHnsJ
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
146Please respect copyright.PENANAG8xw6ps3Hm
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAc6SujwHYKt
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
146Please respect copyright.PENANAlYyWjg8ZJz
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
146Please respect copyright.PENANANjunt1p4FB
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHzCswIHmkH
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.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQgonbsumjQ
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxdgCZJS1j0
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.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA3uH35nT5pI
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAARqWPbNNM3
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
146Please respect copyright.PENANACfunefGH2M
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAvf2Ii00cSW
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
146Please respect copyright.PENANACIINSbK4uA
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
146Please respect copyright.PENANA9gHwYHRCqD
(The protagonist does not hear)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAUTtSqGranE
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
146Please respect copyright.PENANAI616fuWhaW
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAecMyzDXWo6
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4P8jaTEAPS
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
146Please respect copyright.PENANACjeGSotuRV
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAL0cY3nOuNa
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
146Please respect copyright.PENANADnTzUDFUT7
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
146Please respect copyright.PENANAILHMp8UyzZ
Protagonist: Who art thou?
146Please respect copyright.PENANAVGRdIcV85h
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEvWwAENh6A

146Please respect copyright.PENANAI0dDeeAwLf
Ser Draconis: Fair maiden with wings, thou art a sight to behold, what brings thee to our realm?
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHBfPCnButH
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
146Please respect copyright.PENANA6NBpZLAwjO
Ser Draconis: Thou dost not know? Fear not, for we shall uncover the truth together. Come let us embark on this journey.
