(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?
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGS0hZYesf

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjJ9TEQ1CJ
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6oYQu0p5p
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Lu1VdM5l
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuORoLDQ3No
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.

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOPBhD8j1T

61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydOBMTFF7
