(They are on the ground)
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhzDJzgOrhk
Protagonist: The mist is thick, and these would seem endless. I thought we were close to the deposit.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcb5whqrlEg
Lord Preen: Fear not, my dear. We shalt find it in due time. Let us press on.
138Please respect copyright.PENANABRTfZoUXKB
(They continue to wander, the fog grows denser)
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVy3JDfwhXz
Protagonist: I can barely see a thing. Everything looks the same. We are lost already.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvyLXiNNQwp
Lord Preen: Lost, you say? how inconvenient. Let us split up. Perhaps one of us will find our way back.
Protagonist: Very well, but do be cautious. Lord Preen.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAANWmJwqS5R
(They separate)
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAP4HIFwEOI
(Lord Preen is alone on the stage, the spotlight is on him)
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuNd9qrnBoj
Lord Preen: (To himself) Ah, what a delightful twist of fate we find ourselves in. Lost in this labyrinth of mist and trees. A perfect opportunity, I dare say, to collect another trophy for my collection. What will they call me when they hear of the noble Lord Preens grand acquisition, I wonder?
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsNmtt79TBc
(Preen has drawn his handcrafted, clockwork enhanced bow)
138Please respect copyright.PENANAg67bSIbcCM
Protagonist: (returns to the stage)
L-Lord Preen? What art you doing here talking to yourself?
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhGaVCfjB70
Lord Preen: (with a sinister tone) Ah, my dear, I thought it would be the perfect time for us to have a private conversation.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAO9rL9dBrLB
Protagonist: (concerned) A private conversation? But we art lost! And there is danger in these woods!
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIgCw2cfhXP
Lord Preen: You see, my dear, I've had enough of the common world. I've acquired many trophies, but none as exquisite as the power of your wings. They could make me more than just a nobleman, you understand. They could make me a legend.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbZkb8LduSZ
Protagonist: (realising his malicious intent) You can not be serious... You would harm me for your own gain?
138Please respect copyright.PENANAT68B0Tq4X4
Lord Preen: (with an unsettling smile) For power and prestige. One must make sacrifices, my dear. This forest shalt be the final resting place of our little secret.
138Please respect copyright.PENANASQYNuYYeDA
(Lord Preen is now aiming directly at her heart)
Protagonist: (Desperate but firm) Lord Preen, there is a better path than this. Your true worth is not measured by power or trophies.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcfpYN68yvh
Lord Preen: (His aim wavers a little) My dear, thou hath voiced what lingers in my conscience. My obsession with status and acquisition of power, trophies, and vanities. They have driven me to this precipice. A precipice where I had resolved to murder for my own glory.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOvtwy5nsF7
Protagonist: (Empathetic) It is never too late to change. To find the better version of yourself.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOP9gyIF9eS
Lord Preen: (the bow lowers slightly) Indeed, the allure of my desires was strong, yet a glimmer of conscience remains. The path to redemption is steep. My inner demons may still lead me astray. But my dear, you have sparked the notion that perhaps, just perhaps, I may find salvation from my vanity.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA71eReuu2NX
Lord Preen: (Voice heavy with emotion) You see, my father, a stern and unforgiving man, cares for nothing but legacy and lineage. My every achievement was a desperate attempt to please him, but it was never enough. He scorned every accomplishment ever dismissing me as a disappointment.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiXnx7Ib5Ij
Protagonist: (Offering her hand) Let us take the first steps on this path together. Lord Preen, the choice is yours to make.
138Please respect copyright.PENANATJIpNSlpBM
(Lord Preen pauses, then he puts his bow away)
138Please respect copyright.PENANANoCOBvaD5q
Lord Preen: (taking her hand) Yes, I shall endeavour to make amends for my past transgressions. We shall navigate this labyrinthine forest as companions, not foes.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0TONOf9FeF
(A glimmer can be seen nearby)
138Please respect copyright.PENANAz3J2nZqe0X
Protagonist: Look, Lord Preen, what is that glimmer up ahead? (Pointing at glimmer)
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6iM2lvyUvZ
Lord Preen: It seems to be coming from the nearby clearing...
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqJwywh9SnD
(as they approach the deposit, the lights grow brighter and focus on it)
138Please respect copyright.PENANAeOqIFcRwfd
Protagonist: (with wonder)
Suspendium, we have found it!
138Please respect copyright.PENANAM0rpLcxL28
(The lights dim to nothing)
