(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.)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAOFC1iccLyF
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAy19OkQVOAr
Protagonist: Where am I?
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkjMj15WVoB
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
22Please respect copyright.PENANA1sJjm5xSBh
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAuKd0GcqaSE
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
22Please respect copyright.PENANApjYy6mFckp
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
22Please respect copyright.PENANA70p7FAS1Jc
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAanF2ClWhBe
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8QdeLLAyBf
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
22Please respect copyright.PENANADoILbdCMPh
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAuqLAFyKc9S
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAi7pgwHgicf
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZnTWUMmJRA
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
22Please respect copyright.PENANABIT6M2FWcH
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
22Please respect copyright.PENANAZTsT9ODc01
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
22Please respect copyright.PENANA02hMNh0XR1
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAN6WWuozgOh
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANAVdscbWa3fu
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAowOYoTN5i3
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.
22Please respect copyright.PENANALyN2Dx0Q8m
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAct1tCuI8bk
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
22Please respect copyright.PENANAFcvuy1rqpf
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnCT8FQZEtu
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAb0exTffHXN
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYR5TK6frfh
(The protagonist does not hear)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGKBd1jeeK1
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
22Please respect copyright.PENANARrZe9W0LCN
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAaFYRPhhi7H
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkRQoP2lhsF
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAN9dfVip6UN
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUd1GgE1Zo0
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0XMk02sPWJ
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0CFmW7gRAI
Protagonist: Who art thou?
22Please respect copyright.PENANAi9bUjHMFf2
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
22Please respect copyright.PENANADpEBHDQZ9C
Protagonist: (too stunned to respond)
22Please respect copyright.PENANAE8BPqd7toH
Ser Draconis: Fair maiden with wings, thou art a sight to behold, what brings thee to our realm?
22Please respect copyright.PENANAEXZRVDSOeb
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
22Please respect copyright.PENANAKUwzut3g9G
Ser Draconis: Thou dost not know? Fear not, for we shall uncover the truth together. Come let us embark on this journey.
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0s3buesD8w
