(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.)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAnMKRlTpMfn
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAoSrxcCU0S6
Protagonist: Where am I?
144Please respect copyright.PENANATBCOuRJklc
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
144Please respect copyright.PENANAwduFgYwqVE
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAeHjRUDPBE3
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAju6toQsVxA
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAdIGfmH33GU
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAw0POuRv5YG
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAKwbwxOXzVA
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAjYCFaA4KwI
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAhb17nLtNA1
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAryaPKejnkq
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
144Please respect copyright.PENANAVVoKgR3feZ
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAt4QbsRmUwI
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
144Please respect copyright.PENANAQXLmw3u6Wk
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAOcWJxh1JrN
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAGVqtTXSgz5
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.
144Please respect copyright.PENANAHNZODjV49u
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAmC0hMaE4Zf
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.
144Please respect copyright.PENANAAjsdFxZkpS
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
144Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZIDlngKvz
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
144Please respect copyright.PENANAVBZS2Vqseq
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAcesFGCPFl5
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
144Please respect copyright.PENANASTWiRMqMYk
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
144Please respect copyright.PENANAmXUrbWlB4q
(The protagonist does not hear)
144Please respect copyright.PENANA73Is8fuZpc
Unknown: I IMPLORE THEE TO STOP!
144Please respect copyright.PENANAvOjH8EoQxj
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAwtrlrZit6W
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
144Please respect copyright.PENANA8mUmOFIxbw
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
144Please respect copyright.PENANA4JSGFkaM7h
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAzAsu4YMrtH
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAkX2Hfng9eL
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAWaPI6g9TSP
Protagonist: Who art thou?
144Please respect copyright.PENANAQLEKQaii3Z
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
144Please respect copyright.PENANAle0PW4mdqJ
Protagonist: (too stunned to respond)
144Please respect copyright.PENANAApoLDFoJjh
Ser Draconis: Fair maiden with wings, thou art a sight to behold, what brings thee to our realm?
144Please respect copyright.PENANAjopgFz2fcf
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
144Please respect copyright.PENANAL59b6FXx8I
Ser Draconis: Thou dost not know? Fear not, for we shall uncover the truth together. Come let us embark on this journey.
144Please respect copyright.PENANA0RGUKFpHoA
