(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.)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwP6X7Ehamh
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAf0t0G0Pu8Y
Protagonist: Where am I?
54Please respect copyright.PENANAtGnMqnFLN8
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
54Please respect copyright.PENANAaS4s08mh5J
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQUcD814JH9
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAV51SyRuDWN
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAhZdEGDgtzX
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
54Please respect copyright.PENANA9UHo3TPahx
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbXugStFjk3
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQZC7HjINWB
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAuwl2nyFCVs
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbhrIbtyQlI
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
54Please respect copyright.PENANAdpW01YKMNK
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAxSQl81goU7
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
54Please respect copyright.PENANAIdjW3VugL5
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwzsBeSVIPA
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
54Please respect copyright.PENANALEN5THzTLj
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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANATzjDp1bif9
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
54Please respect copyright.PENANACPLnuTXfwV
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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA57MyImf106
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
54Please respect copyright.PENANA5BNKe7nN8J
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
54Please respect copyright.PENANABKeJr0ZX9M
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAxVCLB5lFqE
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAz4ZsVIXXQL
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
54Please respect copyright.PENANAUOq4vGBh0Q
(The protagonist does not hear)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAPBHZCc8XLI
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
54Please respect copyright.PENANARQJw36GXmQ
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmIQtnzy1Xq
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAtq13j9Ya9k
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
54Please respect copyright.PENANA03ZoZMACyh
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAnFXSSc1kzS
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAgG8MgVkUOm
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAtGmU30uUeE
Protagonist: Who art thou?
54Please respect copyright.PENANA4tHcDdcuxM
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAviPfpNfzao
Protagonist: (too stunned to respond)
54Please respect copyright.PENANAnNil1H41GQ
Ser Draconis: Fair maiden with wings, thou art a sight to behold, what brings thee to our realm?
54Please respect copyright.PENANAqGZeESS2dy
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
54Please respect copyright.PENANAlva2OOB9z6
Ser Draconis: Thou dost not know? Fear not, for we shall uncover the truth together. Come let us embark on this journey.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA5XmK2DATnP
