(They are on the ground)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rlQ30wCoe
Protagonist: The mist is thick, and these would seem endless. I thought we were close to the deposit.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDqxZOIewY
Lord Preen: Fear not, my dear. We shalt find it in due time. Let us press on.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeojCJof5mJ
(They continue to wander, the fog grows denser)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6Tk7B9Tz
Protagonist: I can barely see a thing. Everything looks the same. We are lost already.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKmFoTE1t
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiVSexFPxu
(They separate)

(Lord Preen is alone on the stage, the spotlight is on him)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BTfkcjcO9
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?
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI49kl5a98c
(Preen has drawn his handcrafted, clockwork enhanced bow)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrXxWUJOw
Protagonist: (returns to the stage)
L-Lord Preen? What art you doing here talking to yourself?
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfsO6aFdFA
Lord Preen: (with a sinister tone) Ah, my dear, I thought it would be the perfect time for us to have a private conversation.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0urhDc1ad
Protagonist: (concerned) A private conversation? But we art lost! And there is danger in these woods!
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk22dx7vwRj
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnzdSKKmUh
Protagonist: (realising his malicious intent) You can not be serious... You would harm me for your own gain?
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FJSRwTUqv
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cOgG3j7a4
(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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC15PsxSur
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AsigRl49e
Protagonist: (Empathetic) It is never too late to change. To find the better version of yourself.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIUoZPIZNa
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKljA82DXuo
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVwJwjJyLN
Protagonist: (Offering her hand) Let us take the first steps on this path together. Lord Preen, the choice is yours to make.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUEWTcyWQd
(Lord Preen pauses, then he puts his bow away)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dDx8aRR33
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEik7TMNs8P
(A glimmer can be seen nearby)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOo1nPa4cS
Protagonist: Look, Lord Preen, what is that glimmer up ahead? (Pointing at glimmer)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVC9PRohy9
Lord Preen: It seems to be coming from the nearby clearing...
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6XGU9KWQ6
(as they approach the deposit, the lights grow brighter and focus on it)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiYOEZLTaz
Protagonist: (with wonder)
Suspendium, we have found it!
