(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.)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAvz6YPc7ZB4
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAXp4IqV6603
Protagonist: Where am I?
222Please respect copyright.PENANANNOOQV4C8N
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
222Please respect copyright.PENANAdvBP91KEoa
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAExKaSSu1Fp
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAgrF88XGwGn
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAUwJ5VrI7wc
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
222Please respect copyright.PENANA5nFMc3O4Rl
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAnuR6Hx4KH1
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAGN2vq6Kuch
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
222Please respect copyright.PENANADUg5ptIXtG
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
222Please respect copyright.PENANA3WsDWnSyhr
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
222Please respect copyright.PENANANysHH1eAmX
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
222Please respect copyright.PENANA9DrjsNw8oy
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
222Please respect copyright.PENANAMl0a51k2U4
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAtwshg2IDcA
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAUD7PLsjjs6
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.
222Please respect copyright.PENANAZZUBxJpbzD
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
222Please respect copyright.PENANA3O6O9hCfir
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.
222Please respect copyright.PENANAooTII8Jnc0
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAdt8rnQnuT4
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
222Please respect copyright.PENANAVXsnY8KGPv
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAosatenAzPC
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
222Please respect copyright.PENANA0p5wetfGHU

222Please respect copyright.PENANAvIEuXUnqyQ

222Please respect copyright.PENANAUtZw2TwseR
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAmWpS6Qj84S
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAUEFJ9erK5o
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAr3K74K7ZoB
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
222Please respect copyright.PENANAaMB7JZaIFx
