2)on with the story
Elphaba...it was what Nanny would call my Mother.
The man looked at me closely for a couple of minutes then his eyes fall to my now uncovered green daughter, who currently seems pleased with herself.
He began to ramble, "I hadn't seen her for years...since she started at Shiz, but Father never has said anything...it is possible for Elphie...there no need to look worried about talking about her...not many knew her as Elphaba and those who did know the truth. I'm Shell...your-um- uncle I suppose." The man held out his arm in customary greeting, I shifted Remmy and held out my own.
"Liir" I told him, "This is Rehmehya."
"Boq will want to meet you."
"Boq?" I asked, the name doesn't ring in my head.
"A friend...of ...your mother's from college. I've kept contanct with him since her death. He is who I am headed to see. You must come with."
That really doesn't sound like a good idea.
"Really, I must go to my sister's." Hie eyebrows shoot up once more and I quickly explain, "By father, we don't share the same mother."
I turn my attention back to my daughter and cover her back up. For a few moments I wish the government hadn't changed the yellow brick road in to the yellow brick railline and expanded it into Munchkin land. I wouldn't have met Shell and wouldn't be questioning what to do.
"Well, it wouldn't matter if we're headed to the same place. Where is your sister?"
"From what I know...Rush Margins."
He nodded. I could only assume that meant we're headed to the same place.
End of POV for now
The party of two and a half made there way to Nor's but she wasn't at home, so they made their way to Boq and Milla's house.
It was large and recently acquired thanks to connections the family had.
Boq greeted Shell warmly, "Dear friend how are you? Who is this with you?"
Shell looked earnestly, "Best if we took that inside."
Once they were settled in the humble parlor Shell asked Liir, "boy, what was your mother's name?"
Liir looked at him, Shell already knew but he answered but he answered anyhow, "Elphaba, well, that's what Nanny called her."
Boq eyes widened and he let out a tiny yelp which caused movement in Rehmehya who decided once again to reveal herself.
Boq's eyes held no surprise at this.Just by looking at him, one could tell his mind was fast at work. He paused several moments berfore coming to a conclusion.
"We must tell Glinda, it is the only way. That way she can make it safe."
"I'm not letting Oz know. This is my daughter and..."
Boq rose to intensity that seemed too large for his small stature. "And she will be shunned, just like Elphaba. Is that what you really want? Do want them to come and MELT her too? Glinda wouldn't let that happen, her friedship with your mother meant and still means a great deal to her. She'll do right by the granddaughter of her best friend."
And that was it.
Boq was right and Glinda rose to the occasion magnificantly.
"My fellow Ozians, today is a glorious day. It was once told to me that there would be two children born of green skin. The first would be wicked, and we all know that has come true and I have awaited the day the second would come. For the second green child would be good to Oz and do great things and should be celebrated when they had achieved their greatness. I have just recieved word that she has indeed arrived into our world. May we be glad in our hearts."
Glinda just hoped little Rehmehya could live up to it.
All of Oz heard her. Well, not ALL of Oz heard her. The news had not reached Kvon Altar in the outer Vinkus, but this could have been for the best, as the Quox would say, "Rehmehya" (all will come in time)
(who was in Kvon Altar who didn't hear it? I bet you know)
