Chapter 38
The sky filled with darkness as the eclipse continued, Linda had never felt so much magic within her. She was being overwhelmed; she could see so many memories go through her head that she felt like crashing down.
"We can do this Lin!" Arya shouted, by the sound of her voice Lin knew the magic was affecting her too. She had to focus though, she could hear what her mother was saying, it was as if it was echoing through out Oz.
"From this moment on , air will keep this world in a wind of peace,.." Elphaba was next,
"With the strength of the earth to keep it held in safety, "
"With the fire light of the sun to be its guide"
"And the waters to keep it flowing." As soon as Megan finished her saying of the spell Lin felt the words come to her lips as though she didn't even say it.
"And the Emerald that holds the magic of Oz…" Suddenly there was a small flash of emerald through out but suddenly Lin felt pain in her shoulder. Her eyes saw a hit of black, a head guard of Zandra's army had reached the top of the pillar.
Lin screamed in pain as a dagger dug deep into her shoulder, Arya reacted pushing the man away killing him instantly with her sword.
"Kepp going Lin don't stop!" Arya called panicked at the sight of the blood that was already rushing out of Lin's shoulder. It was important that the spell did not stop if they did then it was all over. They only had 8 minutes left. If Lin could hold on, the cut was so deep.
Glinda felt her heart drop seeing her girl get hit.
"NO!"
"Glinda keep going Arya has her. We can't afford to stop!" Jen called in a serious but hurt tone. All the witches knew though, If Lin lost too much blood too quickly it would all end. Glinda sobbed to her self, worried sick for her girl, her only girl. And yet she could not help her at all.
"Baby be ok…Please my Linda be alright…" she whispered.
Back at Lin's pillar Arya could see the blood was falling down Lin's arms, covering her water markings. Quickly she cut a piece of her clothing trying to stop the blood. She towards the palace, seeing Norbert, Fiyero and Daniel ldiers fighting to keep the army at bay.
But that's when she saw it. A small little red headed spirit at the top of the palace, her eyes dark,
"What isTalley doing there!" Arya shrieked.
Meanwhile Zandra, stared at Lucy, feeling her magic against hers.
"Luce.. make me." Lucy raised her hand unsure of what she was doing but only said.
"I'm sorry." With her magic she did not know she held she made her aunt relive one memory, a good light filled memory. A memory of her and her sister.
They were playing in the field by their home, Riley and Glinda were to be there soon. Little Zandra was so happy to be outside, she loved it so much, especially in the meadow.
"Sissy Zandra look! I found some roses!" Mala called to her older sister as she ran over to see a few bushes filled with bright pink and red roses.
"Aren't they beautiful." Mala began to reach for one rose, until Zandra grabbed her hand stopping it.
"Don't, the thorns will hurt you sis. Here." Zandra used a careful levitation spell to pulled a rose off the bush and handed it to Mala. Earning a surprised but thrilled expression from her sister.
"Wow, sis you are so good!" Zandra giggled hugging her sister as she pulled a pink one out for herself. They bother began to walk back.
"Thanks Mal, I want to tell you something kay. Mama always says things in life are like a rose. They are beautiful but can be painful from the thorns. Never take something no matter how beautiful but dangerous it is. You may get cut by a thorn."
