(They are on the ground)

Protagonist: The mist is thick, and these would seem endless. I thought we were close to the deposit.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr4Eb1IOIW
Lord Preen: Fear not, my dear. We shalt find it in due time. Let us press on.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV6WvQcn9x
(They continue to wander, the fog grows denser)
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxpV9rxPOT
Protagonist: I can barely see a thing. Everything looks the same. We are lost already.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTfM3txtZO
Lord Preen: Lost, you say? how inconvenient. Let us split up. Perhaps one of us will find our way back.
Protagonist: Very well, but do be cautious. Lord Preen.

(They separate)

(Lord Preen is alone on the stage, the spotlight is on him)
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAarczely8
Lord Preen: (To himself) Ah, what a delightful twist of fate we find ourselves in. Lost in this labyrinth of mist and trees. A perfect opportunity, I dare say, to collect another trophy for my collection. What will they call me when they hear of the noble Lord Preens grand acquisition, I wonder?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW4HuzTlWV
(Preen has drawn his handcrafted, clockwork enhanced bow)
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOpt2lEiT1
Protagonist: (returns to the stage)
L-Lord Preen? What art you doing here talking to yourself?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBpOrJZpFJ
Lord Preen: (with a sinister tone) Ah, my dear, I thought it would be the perfect time for us to have a private conversation.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl6ZoahV5m
Protagonist: (concerned) A private conversation? But we art lost! And there is danger in these woods!
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyizazAbS76
Lord Preen: You see, my dear, I've had enough of the common world. I've acquired many trophies, but none as exquisite as the power of your wings. They could make me more than just a nobleman, you understand. They could make me a legend.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtl8ViGFy8
Protagonist: (realising his malicious intent) You can not be serious... You would harm me for your own gain?
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4SmdhRflm
Lord Preen: (with an unsettling smile) For power and prestige. One must make sacrifices, my dear. This forest shalt be the final resting place of our little secret.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WvAl8mHDf
(Lord Preen is now aiming directly at her heart)
Protagonist: (Desperate but firm) Lord Preen, there is a better path than this. Your true worth is not measured by power or trophies.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipjYRC97O5
Lord Preen: (His aim wavers a little) My dear, thou hath voiced what lingers in my conscience. My obsession with status and acquisition of power, trophies, and vanities. They have driven me to this precipice. A precipice where I had resolved to murder for my own glory.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk5KSXVjtK
Protagonist: (Empathetic) It is never too late to change. To find the better version of yourself.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI16gPIc55X
Lord Preen: (the bow lowers slightly) Indeed, the allure of my desires was strong, yet a glimmer of conscience remains. The path to redemption is steep. My inner demons may still lead me astray. But my dear, you have sparked the notion that perhaps, just perhaps, I may find salvation from my vanity.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkQySRaxV9
Lord Preen: (Voice heavy with emotion) You see, my father, a stern and unforgiving man, cares for nothing but legacy and lineage. My every achievement was a desperate attempt to please him, but it was never enough. He scorned every accomplishment ever dismissing me as a disappointment.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp1nOJ6jii
Protagonist: (Offering her hand) Let us take the first steps on this path together. Lord Preen, the choice is yours to make.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9j64XKfZF
(Lord Preen pauses, then he puts his bow away)
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKiH5YWFbV
Lord Preen: (taking her hand) Yes, I shall endeavour to make amends for my past transgressions. We shall navigate this labyrinthine forest as companions, not foes.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp0bQeAb1n
(A glimmer can be seen nearby)
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUCrib9QZG
Protagonist: Look, Lord Preen, what is that glimmer up ahead? (Pointing at glimmer)
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkiXgrYbIJ
Lord Preen: It seems to be coming from the nearby clearing...

(as they approach the deposit, the lights grow brighter and focus on it)
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fp3REKbOu
Protagonist: (with wonder)
Suspendium, we have found it!
