(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.)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAMAHOmiKzlR
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA0rvHFYC6F4
Protagonist: Where am I?
115Please respect copyright.PENANAHwHZOqqm2F
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
115Please respect copyright.PENANATY51Dul8pX
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA7fbZyqBwbv
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAJBg3Vrv4Yb
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA4gW8rBqFHA
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA6yhMO54TaK
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA4tJngwL9oT
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAOF3tKZjnH3
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA5TN3el1OmD
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA85QedIRF93
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
115Please respect copyright.PENANAq3B9d0Xzhd
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAaUmKYiM6zw
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
115Please respect copyright.PENANANx1ZjnFQ9Y
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAx7OS8oZReW
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAwXiDxLsCgb
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.
115Please respect copyright.PENANAmzaFaHWfEH
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAhnqimr3MuD
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.
115Please respect copyright.PENANAZaoPuHvT2K
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA08NaHFnUJj
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
115Please respect copyright.PENANAapuDWuJAo4
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAwLov83XbIN
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAtBWM67ey0j
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
115Please respect copyright.PENANANiSwc1Od0s
(The protagonist does not hear)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAg2GSmxGSnL

115Please respect copyright.PENANANfF1ooGPX6
(The protagonist grinds to a halt, clearly having heard this time. Her body language suggests shock)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAHkPF1N23Uv
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
115Please respect copyright.PENANALZlu8Q3ugH
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
115Please respect copyright.PENANAngDBtCEBgm
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
115Please respect copyright.PENANArq83JnfA6r
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA7oRwuaMVcW
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
115Please respect copyright.PENANA500IO41pZq
Protagonist: Who art thou?
115Please respect copyright.PENANAyueaAAnjpG
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
115Please respect copyright.PENANAyKpWxvENZQ

115Please respect copyright.PENANA2XnaFpao4w
Protagonist: I..I do not know thyself...
115Please respect copyright.PENANAGBGBqSUZlk
