Ch.1

Oscar Diggs, also known as Oz, scrambled out of the hot air balloon's basket as it sank into the cold water.

So far he wasn't having such a good day. Oz had fled from the traveling carnival where he performed in after the strongman had found out about Oz's flirtations with his wife.

Just as he thought that he was in the clear, he was sucked up in to a massive twister.

In the middle of the chaos, he was knocked unconscious and when he awoke, he found himself drifting into a beautiful new land, the likes of which he had never seen before in his life.

Tall mountains, lush green forests, massive waterfalls, exotic flowers and strange animals, it was very different from the bleak, grey landscape of Kansas.

A downdraft forced his balloon down over a waterfall and carried him along a raging river, which deposited him near the shore of the gentler parts of the river.

Currently he was clambering out of the sinking basket in a mad rush for shore because he couldn't swim.

Oz slipped and fell into the cold waters. He thrashed around trying to stay above water screaming, "Help! Help! I can't swim!" suddenly he felt his foot touch the bottom.

Oz stopped and he stood up, discovering that the water only reached his waist.

He sighed in relief and he quickly retrieved his large bag from the half sunken basket and waded towards shore. The carnival magician studied his new surroundings with interest. He had never seen such a colorful place.

Green dominated the landscape with some smatterings of blue, orange, yellow, even purple.

He thought for a moment as to where he could be. The most likely answer was that he wasn't anywhere on earth, but rather that he was dead and he was in the afterlife.

Oz halted a few feet from shore. He had heard a sound coming from the shore ahead of him. The carnival magician gripped his bag tightly and he readied himself in case it was a dangerous animal or something worse.

Up ahead of him, the bushes rustled and slowly moving aside revealing a woman.

Oz became less tense at the sight of the woman. She was beautiful.

The woman had short dark hair, dark eyes and a flawless complexion. She was dressed in black and green that made her almost blend in with the scenery. To top it off, she had a large glittering emerald around her throat.

Oz stood motionless in the river staring at the woman in awe of her beauty.

The woman stared back at him as if she were judging him.

Finally, Oz spoke "Am I in heaven?" the woman shook her head.

Overjoyed that he wasn't dead, the carnival magician cried out triumphantly and pointed at the sky "I won't let you down! I promise!" he looked back to the woman who stood there watching him.

She spoke up "I would get out of the river if I were you, before the river fairies arrive. Although they are small, they have very sharp teeth"

Oz frowned "River fairies?" suddenly he felt a sharp pinch on his arm.

He yelped and saw that it was a tiny, scaly creature with large black eyes and tiny wings that fluttered quickly like a humming bird. Suddenly a dozen more appeared from out of the water and started biting him from all sides. The carnival magician yelped at each bite as he quickly ran for shore.

Once on shore the river fairies returned to the river.

He scowled as they returned from whence they came and he turned to the woman in green, asking politely "Where exactly am I?"

"You're in Oz" said the woman.

Oz blinked "What did you say?"

"You're in Oz" she repeated.

The carnival magician frowned "But that's my name, Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs. But everyone calls me Oz"

The woman's eyes widened in surprise. She looked Oz up and down, mumbling something under her breath.

Suddenly the woman smiled warmly and said, "It's nice to meet you, I am Evanora the good witch".

Before Oz could speak there was a loud roar and the two looked towards the source. They saw nothing but trees and bushes around them.

The shrubbery shifted and the trees shook as shadows moved among them.

Evaora's eyes widened in fear "Oh no"

"What is it?" asked Oz

"It's the Wicked Witch's army, they're here to kill you" she said, looking around them in panic. Oz's eyes widened in fear "Kill me?"

Evanora nodded "We have to find a place to hide!"

"Why do they want to kill me?" asked Oz.

Evanora shook her head "There's no time to explain, we must leave!"

Oz glanced around quickly and spotted a small cave in the distance that was partially hidden by moss and vines.

He grabbed the witch's hand saying, "Come on!" with that, the two took off running.
