(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.)
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0o5FUaV5YD
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAXVghk25jkD
Protagonist: Where am I?
147Please respect copyright.PENANAP5y0GWeWZQ
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfz6r2zHkFs
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvBZ0HAfsdh
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
147Please respect copyright.PENANA4VnI9s7XrE
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
147Please respect copyright.PENANATKRvfR6eQi
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOeLTesWFhi
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAD3QD7jmb17
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUObgAWCaUK
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtj941ntNKz
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1jc7qxjHSw
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtteVWX0oCK
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
147Please respect copyright.PENANA09oeUH5ESF
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmnPlf4GEHu
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAKECelScSOj
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAHLpEaFkGoc
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAxsCtgcRaOm
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZyJYycqRXm
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.
147Please respect copyright.PENANASOQN6zdAvn
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
147Please respect copyright.PENANA9KHE1XbYwn
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
147Please respect copyright.PENANAb1Y0OgHfHw
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5eUnL5Z20O
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAdKYe35BLzq
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
147Please respect copyright.PENANAWlKQLSuhLL
(The protagonist does not hear)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQpLLpu8udp

Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYrHwtEsVvd
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZg9WgL8y6F
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkkVyuJEzYh
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
147Please respect copyright.PENANALx4fDRpOCu
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgPD3YkAFOc

147Please respect copyright.PENANAGwXcD39zhj
Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIa9LeNHVje
