Chapter 1
Glinda had gathered the council members in the large meeting room to discuss the business at hand. Her council was already behind her as they had seen what Elphaba had done for them and they trusted her choice in Fiyero. Now the trick was to get the council members from Oz to understand.
"What is the meaning of this urgent meeting Queen Glinda?" Council Member and former Governor Malaki asked.
"My husband has been murdered and it was a citizen of Oz that did it," Glinda said bluntly. This set the Ozian Council Members abuzz.
"We want proof of this accusation," Member Nosafir challenged.
"His name was Iffix. He escaped from Southstair only to make his way here. He killed Reginald and then attempted to kill me and my friends," Glinda flung Iffix's prison file at them.
"Murder wasn't exactly something new to Iffix. By his own admission he was the son of Morrible and the Wizard. He was also a very powerful warlock. He killed Reginald after taking the form of a bear," she continued after handing them the file from the royal undertaker.
"Good Unnamed God," Malaki couldn't believe it.
"Where is he being held now?" Nosafir asked.
"He isn't. My friends and myself dealt with Iffix but not before he turned into a dragon and attempted to burn down one of our villages. His remaining body parts were dropped into the nearest active volcano," she told them.
"Then you have no proof. He could…" Council Member Akki cut off Nosafir.
"We have one hundred witnesses to what happened from the village he attacked and at least thirty witnesses from the next village over that saw the dragon. As we all know, dragons are extinct. So unless you are calling my Queen a liar, I suggest you think before you open your mouth," his acidic words shut the Ozian up.
"So what do you wish us to do?" Malaki wanted to know.
"You had no love for me when I ruled Oz but I will expect you to love and respect those whom I have chosen to replace me. News of their accomplishments are already on their way to Oz," Glinda told them.
"Who are these chosen few?" Malaki asked, afraid he wouldn't like the answer. The Queen motioned for the guard to open the door to the meeting room.
"All Hail King and Queen Tiggular!" The guard shouted and immediately most of the Council Members bowed as the couple entered the room. The Ozian Council Members however stood there in shock.
"But…" Nosafir managed to get the one word out before Fiyero spoke.
"Good morning Council and Queen Glinda,"
"Good morning your Highness. I'm so glad you could join us," Akki left his seat and approached the Vinkan.
"It is good to see you my friend. I am very sorry that King İzmir is not here to see this," Fiyero shook his hand. Akki pulled him close and whispered,
"He would have enjoyed watching the Ozian's fill their undershorts." This made Fiyero chuckle.
"But she's the Witch!" Someone cried out. Elphaba was completely prepared for this and gave them all a look of disappointment.
"I hope you will refrain from calling me that as I am now your Queen," she had so desperately wanted to smirk at them but the last thing they needed was fear. Or maybe that was exactly what they needed.
