(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.)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAw9dH7nPTFi
(Protagonist is slowly stirring, eventually rising)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAlgWoiaWfwU
Protagonist: Where am I?
216Please respect copyright.PENANAI8yD9qeE3M
Protagonist: (Looking around, taking everything in) W-Wow...
216Please respect copyright.PENANAle3lLHn87C
Protagonist: (Notices a reflective pool nearby)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAafchHlWxY2
(There is no more smoke around the unnatural crater. The light focuses on the pool)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAUUZsypfpVs
Protagonist: (walks over to the pool, a little unsteady, due to the unknown presence of the wings)
216Please respect copyright.PENANA20WCGUtbva
(Musical cue: mvt 1 Awakening of Wings)
216Please respect copyright.PENANA44pXrXkVuk
Protagonist: (starts upon seeing the wings in the pool)
216Please respect copyright.PENANA8iE9Cnm8wR
Protagonist: (audible gasp) Good heavens! What sorcery is this? Thy back seems to have sprouted wings! (a little shocked but not terrified)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAAzSXykYNM1
(She tries to spread the wings out, to her delight the wings obey)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAzTtczTiafh
(Stage direction: light brightens and focuses on the protagonist)
216Please respect copyright.PENANABXKj819BmA
Protagonist: (Full of barely concealed glee and energy) The wings respond? What else might be done with thy graceful virtue?
216Please respect copyright.PENANAx0jqNAFaJw
Protagonist: (pauses for a movement to calm herself down. Her efforts are in vain for she sights a bird)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAL8hKJZ1Lre
Protagonist: Could I fly? I could help others better if I could....
216Please respect copyright.PENANAa07wgQqJ9C
(The protagonist, noticing a hill, begins to head towards it. Her movements are now more graceful and steady than before)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAiIAd5eVRyt
(The protagonist is now on a higher part of the stage)
216Please respect copyright.PENANA3P8ph5WmLe
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.
216Please respect copyright.PENANAoJUS1YmZOJ
(She pauses to contemplate. The music has stopped now)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAublb1W8cxu
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.
216Please respect copyright.PENANAyfh3zl53V9
(Protagonist should appear ready to jump)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAw458bFWQMH
Protagonist: The world calls, and I shalt answer it!
216Please respect copyright.PENANALOCNhbFxUu
(She begins to run towards the edge. The spotlight follows her. The wings are gleaming in the light)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAdVzDKpbcsh
(Before she can get to the edge, a deep, rich, baritone voice, with a rumbling quality, yells out)
216Please respect copyright.PENANA6stRNrHwj9
Unknown: (franticly) STOP!
216Please respect copyright.PENANAaFp5asCyDG
(The protagonist does not hear)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAuPGn8IrwvE

216Please respect copyright.PENANAjwC2kb6lsX
Protagonist: (Looking around for the source)
216Please respect copyright.PENANACEOV9rBkqq
(The lights dim back to normal, and the wings stop glowing)
216Please respect copyright.PENANA6dVhnMsneO
(In the dark part of the stage, a shape is visible, it is tall and strong looking, it wears a breastplate and a helm)
216Please respect copyright.PENANApiuIkiMNZY
(He emerges from the shadows, the breastplate has a dragon symbol on it, the helm's visor is the yawning maw of a dragon)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAacJaKmhoJu
(The unknown armoured man approaches the protagonist, a long, lethal looking spear made of what looks like bone on his back)
216Please respect copyright.PENANAqEDVsfYAm5

Unknown: My apologies, fair maiden, I am the mighty Ser Draconis of the esteemed Order of The Dragoon.
