(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.)
23Please respect copyright.PENANA8mgUD8bWJq
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAsLBaHFnOIg
Protagonist: Where am I?
23Please respect copyright.PENANA4CqK5Rsh5s
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
23Please respect copyright.PENANAls1zfN3fbc
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAemY9EWZnwh
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
23Please respect copyright.PENANApCrAPXmxMl
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAt4OZ13A9VB
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
23Please respect copyright.PENANA0QD20f0hjI
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAlsTNUheYbr
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAF64mY6n0a3
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAixfgmQQa05
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAO0ybrsCvdP
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
23Please respect copyright.PENANAlmqHQNtWOC
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMINgHQPwqK
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
23Please respect copyright.PENANAREvg1kAcO7
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAE7N1LSCppo
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAKSmoctxW3A
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPm9qi4kjhB
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAnLK8GlzRf9
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANACq5FSJDCnR
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAoayddvd9LS
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
23Please respect copyright.PENANAodeKoCKcWo
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAS2CHK3Eqqe
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwymQ3wAEv7
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
23Please respect copyright.PENANAlPvPLJMohb
(The protagonist does not hear)
23Please respect copyright.PENANA7rHCvyWiR3
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
23Please respect copyright.PENANAWZa09e44ni
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAV3kL6Un2M3
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAI65cGMmNlL
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAwwHpckTu7k
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
23Please respect copyright.PENANArw7STsIygI
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZzsMkOLdh
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
23Please respect copyright.PENANA1fJHn8J0Mu
Protagonist: Who art thou?
23Please respect copyright.PENANA94mG6QRrQd
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAMQU0Owo8vf
Protagonist: (too stunned to respond)
23Please respect copyright.PENANAkFswbz14Ga
Ser Draconis: Fair maiden with wings, thou art a sight to behold, what brings thee to our realm?
23Please respect copyright.PENANAxchqLI7J08
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
23Please respect copyright.PENANAllRJYDPvSA
Ser Draconis: Thou dost not know? Fear not, for we shall uncover the truth together. Come let us embark on this journey.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAavDOcpKu4I
