(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.)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAlOgol57AIB
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
174Please respect copyright.PENANA2wZ1n6CQ4Z
Protagonist: Where am I?
174Please respect copyright.PENANAf9ADv0lMPJ
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
174Please respect copyright.PENANAyTiYf6qqgs
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAG3TtNi5Ih2
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
174Please respect copyright.PENANA8XDRGLBnwl
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
174Please respect copyright.PENANA04tqDNeGy8
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAB2hEWOQFQy
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAKrSS0qWVCx
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAvDIWWnuGs3
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAc99yz5UFFj
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
174Please respect copyright.PENANA08pGV306Wy
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
174Please respect copyright.PENANAphbNFkuDey
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAQnBxHn7NOp
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
174Please respect copyright.PENANAeenR3p43vn
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
174Please respect copyright.PENANANndBlbZ9xT
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAjOGhGYybEk
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.
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgpH1g3Q6HR
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAcu8eDI7qN0
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.
174Please respect copyright.PENANA6ucjyIoSOC
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAMWnLn7JiLp
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
174Please respect copyright.PENANA1p3V9AOWWE
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAKrMkXPulHp
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAwULn7xS6Q3
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
174Please respect copyright.PENANAemiWiDDFwj
(The protagonist does not hear)
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7nGqGUUnTC
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
174Please respect copyright.PENANAJDrXKhDOCy
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
174Please respect copyright.PENANA3S3DcVBuhg
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAwdo3kiiNB0
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAt64D1nKojy
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgfb5MUIWO9
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAibxwDn8449
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
174Please respect copyright.PENANAUu29lFCUwX
Protagonist: Who art thou?
174Please respect copyright.PENANAe1PWB72fE2
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
174Please respect copyright.PENANAKb6ADEP2Y0

174Please respect copyright.PENANAFeQbYy1WFJ

174Please respect copyright.PENANAi5LIDcPrJX
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
174Please respect copyright.PENANAy5d02eMqPN
