(10)-Langwidere's Castle And Aiden's New Journey.

At Langwidere's castle, Evanora, the witch of the East-formerly known as the wicked witch of the East-was watching Aiden in her big crystal-ball as the boy was walking through the cave, trying to find his way out. Evanora had fair skin, dark brown hair, and brown eyes. She wore a black and green long sleeve glittering dress with a transparent green cape, a feathery shawl, a feather head-dress and black high heel boots.

"Yes, i like it." Evanora said with her british accented voice before the scene of Aiden faded from the crystal-ball.

"Hahahaha!" The three winged monkeys, Golder, Bamboo, Finner and Squint laughed.

Golder was a big, tall, winged muscular gorilla, wearing gold knight armor and a gold helmet.

Bamboo was a winged baboon with a pale blue face and black fur all over his body.

Finner was a white winged baboon.

And Squint was a winged baboon with light blue fur and gray and black armor.

"I love it." Said Theodora, the witch of the West, formerly known as the wicked witch of the West. She had fair olive skin, hazel eyes, and dark brown hair that was in a bun. She wore a ruby red jacket and a ruby red wide-brimmed hat, a white button-down shirt, black pants, and black high heel boots that went up to the calf of her legs.

"Finner...summon a group of winged monkeys and send them out to greet our guest." Ordered Evanora.

"Yes, my Queen." Finner said.

"I'll go with them. We'll bring the boy back here and then you and Theodora can have it out with him." Said Golder.

"Excellent." Evanora said.

Langwidere appeared inside the room in a flash of purple light. "Good, you're all still here. Have i got news for you. You'll never believe who i just saw."

"Let me guess." Evanora said as she turned to face Langwidere. "The boy who traveled with the Gale girl to meet The Wizard Of Oz, right?"

"How did you know?" Langwidere asked.

"Some Wheelers came by the castle while you were away and informed us about the strange boy being here in the land of Ev." Evanora said. "I figured it was worth looking into, so i decided to check it out for myself. I looked it up on the crystal-ball and it turns out the boy is the same one who traveled with the Gale girl to meet The Wizard."

"So what are you going to do about it?" Langwidere asked.

"I've already requested that Finner summon a group of winged monkeys and send them out to greet our guest." Evanora answered.

"You? Since when did you start giving the commands around here? In case you forgot, this is the land of Ev, not Oz, so therefore you have no authority here what-so-ever. This is my castle, not your's. I'm just letting you and your group hide out here because the Nome King instructed me to." Langwidere said.

"That's right. The Nome King is letting us hide out here, and he gave me his consent that i could order what i wish. And in case you forgot...this was not your castle originally. It belonged to the king of this land. You're just the owner of it now because the king killed himself after he sold his family to the Nome King. That's the only reason you're the owner of this castle and that's the only reason why you're the ruler of Ev." Evanora said.

"That's right." Theodora added. "So why don't you just get out of here and go check on your head collection or something? Now!"

"Ooh!" Langwidere said as she stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

"Well...you told her." Finner said to Evanora and Theodora. "Do you still want me to summon a group of winged monkeys and send them after the boy?" He asked Evanora.

"Yes. Go right ahead." Evanora said. "Our guest is going to have a very special greeting upon his return...Ev style."

Aiden exited out of the mountains and began making his way through the Deadly Desert, determined to find the nome that had taken the silver slippers. "He couldn't have gone far. Where could he be?" He thought, referring to the nome as he walked through the desert. "I don't recognize anything. Then again, why would i? This isn't the Oz, this is Ev, according to those Wheelers. But if this isn't Oz, then where is it? It's probably just beyond the desert. I'll find it."
