(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....)

Protagonist: Where am I?
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDdMACwZxa
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLfN6jcA1r
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqtarqBJ1n
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSlPYyWsay
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJbLtKanwx
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLUC4F4ZKk
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2FshrRrpP
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjCCMXsYCx
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6podVncKfQ

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMkZkQwU0w
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXETXvtibLf
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIwskZjxuF
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HW9W9fYAJ
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 pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmMGWHOwt0

Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZAC3ia8J
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNqIoxgoEM
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)

145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmq9DUlpK3
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8lx2wpy8W
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
