(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 is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
198Please respect copyright.PENANAuivFRKHbjg
Protagonist: Where am I?
198Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ6dykpjkY
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
198Please respect copyright.PENANAUz9XAcCL1E
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
198Please respect copyright.PENANAAmBquqflPz
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)

198Please respect copyright.PENANA49fUTxkYXl
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)

198Please respect copyright.PENANA8HhkYLBfe8
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
198Please respect copyright.PENANADPm0jZLmE0
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
198Please respect copyright.PENANAxKS0TFuPeY
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)
198Please respect copyright.PENANArVIOn6FpV3

198Please respect copyright.PENANAxk0Bi8eOhM
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
198Please respect copyright.PENANArBzp0rK13L
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)

198Please respect copyright.PENANAEL8Xs8OiOJ
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
198Please respect copyright.PENANASgROLn0JLc
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
