Chapter Fourteen
Elphaba found Fiyero in the throne room, where the man responsible was just dismissed. He was sitting on the Throne, his hands crossed.
"Hey." She said. "How did it go?"
"Death."
"You did what you had to do, Yero." She touched his shoulder.
"You were right."
"It's okay."
"No, I'll apologize to her. I'm sorry, Fae. I should have listened to you."
"Yero, it's ok. How is your father doing?"
"Better than yesterday. Not much, but better."
"That's good. I guess I'll pack my things."
"Alright, green girl."
Elphaba packed her few belongings and said goodbye to her in-laws, telling them that if they needed anything, they shouldn't hesitate to ask.
She then went back to her husband, "I love you Yero."
"I love you more than anything, Fae. And I'm sorry you have to go."
"I have to get back anyway. Boq is probably scrambling by now." She said with a smile.
He laughed.
"When will I see you again?" Elphaba asked.
"Lurlinemas, maybe?"
"That's three months away."
"Oz, what am I going to do without you?"
He said as he encircled her waist.
"I can't wait that long, Yero. We're married for Oz' sake."
"Well, technically, you can do whatever you like, Empress." He said with a smile.
"I love you." She said as she gave him a kiss.
"I love you too. Please, Fae, if this gets too much for you, please tell me, alright?"
"You too."
"Okay."
The two bid goodbye and Elphaba started on the journey she'd taken too many times before back to the Emerald City.
Now the next thing to do: Find her mother.
She got back around dinner that day, and Boq greeted her, "Fae, its good to see you back. Everything okay back home?"
"For now. Did I miss anything?"
"Not really. No revolts or government uprisings, so I call it a good day."
"Good. Boq, who would I go to to find someone that's…hiding?"
"No one comes to mind. Sorry."
"No problems. Get some sleep."
Elphaba sat on the Throne for the rest of the night, thinking about her mother and where she might be. She retired, and fell into a dreamless sleep.
