PROLOGUE
  The forces of the West fell, and Maria's castle was taken.
  Prince Ralse, of the East, took her hand by force. But she never stopped 
  yearning for Draco...

MARIA (singing)
  Oh my hero, so far away now.
  Will I ever see your smile?
  Love goes away, like night into day.
  It's just a fading dream...
  I'm the darkness, you're the stars.
  Our love is brighter than the sun.
  For eternity, for me can there be, only you, my chosen one...
  Must I forget you?
  Our solemn promise?
  Will autumn take the place of spring?
  What shall I do?
  I'm lost without you.
  Please speak to me once more!

[DRACO appears, his armor shining bright.]

DRACO
  Come, Maria! Follow my lead...

[MARIA and DRACO share a dance.]

DRACO
  Ha, ha, ha...

[DRACO disappears. MARIA approaches the balcony and tosses a
bouquet of roses into the night.]

MARIA (singing)
  We must part now. My life goes on.
  But my heart won't give you up.
  Ere I walk away, let me hear you say.
  I meant as much to you...
  So gently, you touched my heart.
  I will be forever yours.
  Come what may, I won't age a day.
  I'll wait for you, always...

CHANCELLOR
  Prince Ralse is looking for a dance partner. Leave the past 
  behind! Our kingdom is adopting the spirit of the East!
