(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?
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwNc1ZVsLMi

196Please respect copyright.PENANAU8UTdTCc4J
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXQtQzKdZ5M
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)

196Please respect copyright.PENANAAlfkpjHNte
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)

196Please respect copyright.PENANA4gvlsChvxe
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
196Please respect copyright.PENANAg7RUNfDulB
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4nG9SFVUPI
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
196Please respect copyright.PENANAR7RQQQeyED
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.

(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)

196Please respect copyright.PENANA4rd93QWeXE
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFbnnpPI7h0
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQfOaxpxgqG

(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
196Please respect copyright.PENANAy8mJHIh75w
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
196Please respect copyright.PENANARjnvHTA85r
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
