This will be my version of Oz the Great and Powerful. I will be changing a lot in the story a far as the witches are concerned. I wanted to gain more layering to them or at least allow readers to know what's going through their minds during the events.
I do not own Oz the Great and Powerful. I also did not create the cover picture.
Evanora
She looked through her crystal ball and saw the man who now clams himself to be the wizard. For years she feared not only that the wizard would arrive, but just the mere idea that people from lands beyond the great four deserts could cross into Oz. Evanora's anger rose when she saw how naively Theodora was assuming that he was this great wizard who came to 'save' them. Save them from what? She was the one who took the throne, she was the one who made Oz stronger by training her people to fight, and while it might not have been the best tactic, she showed people how strong of a leader she could be.
And if it weren't for those two weak sisters of hers, Glinda and Lumara, she would have made all of Oz a stronger place. Glinda decided that, instead of accepting her leadership and burying the secret of their father's death with him, Glinda choose open rebellion and exile. And Lumara, rather than simply challenging her directly like Glinda, decided to travel to the north to fight one of her allies. The very ally who taught Evanora the full extent of her powers.
Now true Evanora killed their father, but it was necessary in order to gain the throne. The king figured out how far her ambition would take her, and was frightened by her drive to protect Oz. She had to act fast or he would name one of her other sisters as keeper of the throne.
Seeing Theodora and the wizard make their way to the city, she had no choice. She went up the steps to the highest tower were her winged baboons slept. "Awaken, my pets," she said in a commanding voice, "There is a stranger who arrived on the western borders of these lands. My sister is accompanying him to the city. Make sure he never arrives, but my sister is to remain unharmed. Now FLY!" she shouted and her minions flew high above sight of the city and descended once clearing the borders.
Theodora
Theodora could not believe that the wizard had finally arrived. While she appreciated all the work her sister did in protecting Oz, she knew that they lived in dark times. But the wizard would fix all of that now. Perhaps once he has helped Oz, he will fix her as well. For years now her powers have been a nightmare for her. Every time she got upset, her powers would almost hurt someone. Being a witch was both a blessing and a curse. They gain such great power but at the cost of being feared as well. Even the people they called friends once began fearing her and her sisters once they matured into their powers.
But when he complimented her…when he danced with her…when he kissed her, it sparked such wonderful feelings that she had never felt in her life. And she knew that he felt the same way. Why else would he give her his grandmother's music box. While she never cared for ruling Oz, but the idea of spending the rest of her life with this man, always feeling these emotions every day, were a dream come true.
And most importantly, he could give her back her sisters she missed so dearly. How Theodora missed her family. Evanora told her how Glinda killed their father. Because she was the last to leave his study, no one questioned her guilt. After Glinda went into exile, Lumara, unable to handle the loss of their father, volunteered to go to Gillikin Country to fight a evil sorceress who took control of the lands. She had not seen Lumara since. Evanora was too consumed in battling Glinda that she barely spoke to Theodora anymore. But now that the wizard is here, he can rule Oz, and Theodora can finally rest in comfort knowing the kingdom is safe. Perhaps he could bring her family back together.
I hope you enjoy this story. I plan to see this to the end. The link to the original cover picture is on my profile page if you wish to see it.
