Looks can be deceiving. The Wizard was no fool. He knew this
perfectly well. He also knew that green girl was surely plotting something
wicked. A destruction of his reign, maybe of his life, even. He had given
her a chance to prove everyone wrong about her, and she had declined,
vowing to put an end to his "madness", as she called it.
So imagine his surprise when a cute, but confused, little girl showed up at his doorstep. Escorted to the Wizard's throne by his most faithful guard, Fiyero, the little girl came asking for a way back home. The wizard seized the opportunity to send the girl to kill "the witch." She was to stay with him for the evening, to eat a good meal, get a good night's rest. Then, in the morning, she was to set out for the destruction of all Wickedness in Oz.
~ "ELPHABA!" Fiyero ran screaming into the apartment.
"What? What is it?" She asked nervously.
"The Wizard beat you to your plan. He sent out an assassin for you. If she finds us here, she'll surely kill all three of us," He explained breathlessly.
"Well, we'll be able to see her coming. She must be huge and well- armed if the Wizard sent her out for my blood, right?"
But Fiyero just shook his head. "She's a 10-year-old child; beautiful and innocent-looking."
Suddenly, Glinda appeared. They hadn't noticed her coming in. "It seems to me," she said softly, "that we only have one option." The other two looked at her in anticipation. "Blow up the Emerald Palace."
