Using a quill with dark ink, Agatha was writing in her personal quarters. It was an opulent space. The bedroom was decked out in rich mahogany wood with gold plated paintings of former Ozians who ruled Quadling Country. Hanging in the center of one of the walls was a huge portrait of Glinda. There was also a fireplace and a huge window that showed the courtyard of Glinda's castle.

As she was deep in thought, one of Glinda's captains entered her bedroom. The captain slightly bowed as the lieutenant slowly looked up. "You have a visitor…"

"Proceed", Agatha replied.

The captain left the room. Moments later, a yellow robe figure entered, a hood completely covering its head and shrouded its face in darkness. It stood silently as the lieutenant continued writing. Without looking up, Agatha began to speak once again.

"What do you have to report?"

The figure slowly spoke with a deep feminine voice.

"The Wizard is at the Wicked Witch of the West's castle…"

The lieutenant then stopped writing. She looked up and gazed at the mysterious visitor before her.

"I know…everything is proceeding according to plan…" She then flashed a devious smile to her guest.

Ever since she became Glinda's right hand woman, Agatha would often disagree with her boss' pacifist policies. And after Glinda was kicked out of the Emerald City by Evanora, it was Agatha who wanted to immediately counter attack. Glinda's army was well trained and had the necessary number of soldiers to overcome the Emerald City's defenses.

Yet it was Glinda who refused. As a result, a cold and icy rift developed between both women. This rift only intensified further when Glinda sent Agatha and the army away from the castle shortly before the Wizard arrived at her land. The army was told to visit the Flutterbudgets near the border in case Evanora attacked.

But Agatha would later come to learn that this was a lie. The army was really sent to the neighboring community because Glinda did not want the Wizard to know that she had a standing army. She did not want the Wizard to know that she had a standing army because she knew that Agatha would try and convince the Wizard to use it when reclaiming the Emerald City and that he would most certainly oblige. Glinda did not want this to happen.

Thus, Glinda's army was absent when the Wizard arrived for the first time at her castle, and the Wizard only knew of the army's existence until after both wicked witches were banished from the Emerald City.

This is not how Agatha wanted things to be. She wanted to reclaim the Emerald City by force, not because she wanted to kill the Ozians who resided there, but because she wanted to demonstrate Glinda's true influence and power so such a coup would never be attempted again. And while Agatha despised Evanora with a passion, she ultimately did respect her and how she wielded power. While she believed Evanora was cunning and more intelligent than Glinda, they were still adversaries before the king's death and definitely mortal enemies after Glinda was banished.

While Agatha begrudgingly admired Evanora for her shrewdness, she thought the youngest sibling was dumb and even dangerous. She knew all about Theodora's penchant for explosive outbursts when she resided at the palace. She would witness the youngest witch oscillate between self-destructive behavior and aggression directed towards others. At other times, the witch would engage in magical thinking and naivete that even the most provincial Ozian would find ludicrous.

As such, Agatha was not surprised in the least when Theodora sided with Evanora after the king's death, despite once being close with Glinda. Even though there was not a shred of evidence that Glinda murdered their father, Theodora was gullible and Evanora was persuasive.

Despite this dynamic, Glinda did absolutely nothing to try and convince her youngest sister that she was innocent. She would merely tell Agatha that she hoped Theodora would see past Evanora's deceptions. The lieutenant had her doubts. In her mind, the youngest sibling was a fool.

Inwardly, Agatha agreed with King Pastoria that Theodora needed to be confined and locked away from all of Ozian society, due to her inability to control her temper and her destructive fire powers. She witnessed the young witch engage in some bizarre behavior, running around the palace one day with euphoric glee, while refusing to come out of her bedroom on other days. On occasion, Agatha would catch Theodora punching a wall in frustration, throwing an erratic fireball that she couldn't control or speaking ill of herself with a scowl on her face. On other occasions, she would act completely normal, pleasant and even charming.

In between her normalcy and her fits of outbursts, the witch's personality would be in constant flux, alternating between joy, rage and even desolation. When Theodora felt depressed and moped around the palace, she would often complain to whoever wanted to hear that she was lonely and did not have any type of support system from those who presumably cared about her.

Agatha would listen, but she really did not care and neither did she have any sympathy for the young witch. Not only did the lieutenant view this as weakness the lieutenant envied her. Theodora had everything she could have in life. She was born into one of the wealthiest families in all of Oz, had servants who waited on her, had food on her table every day, displayed innate powers and was a beautiful woman who dressed well and paid attention to her appearance. Unlike the lieutenant, who was born into poverty and only got to where she was through sacrifice, hard work and pure luck, Theodora had everything given to her at birth.

Despite this, the emotionally immature witch was ruled by her quiet desperation. Convinced that she was the black sheep of the family and an outcast of Ozian society, she would try and force friendships onto the select few she did speak to, often resulting in Theodora pushing that person away or for the witch herself to abruptly end things. Agatha remembered the time when the red clothed woman would follow her relentlessly around the palace, saying how they would be friends forever, how no one in Oz ever paid attention to her and how they would do everything together. This all happened because Agatha decided to one day engage in small talk with the young woman about a trivial matter. The lieutenant was freaked out by this behavior and proceeded to ignore the young witch after that incident.

Perhaps the only one who was "normal" in the family was Glinda, but even she engaged in passive-aggressive behavior after her father often played favorites amongst his own daughters. And while Agatha never knew Locasta, she heard that she was a weird one as well.

While she never actually engaged with the king in conversation, she also knew that the king would often have emotional outbursts of his own, often directed at his youngest daughter.

Regardless, Agatha felt betrayed when Glinda sent her and the army away upon the Wizard's arrival. Distrust between the two grew further when Glinda would consistently side with the Wizard during their numerous quarrels.

So, it came as no surprise that the only way Agatha knew of Glinda's plan to send the Wizard to the Wicked Witch's castle was through this mysterious figure who was now in her bedroom. Shortly after both wicked witches were banned from the Emerald City, Agatha would start to receive visits from this enigmatic person. While the lieutenant never saw this person's face—she desired to keep her appearance hidden—she knew it was a woman through the sound of her voice. And while the true purpose of her visits remained shrouded in secrecy, since Agatha was able to glean crucial intelligence from this person, information that always turned out to be true, she believed that this figure knew a tremendous amount about Ozian society and of Glinda in particular.

Still, Agatha questioned why Glinda would even send the Wizard to the Wicked Witch's castle to begin with. She believed it was probably for diplomatic reasons, but she wanted to use this visit for her own means. While Evanora was too powerful for her to control, Agatha felt that the Wicked Witch of the West was a pushover, an inexperienced young witch who could not even handle her own powers.

While the lieutenant wanted nothing more than to eradicate the wicked witches from the Land of Oz, she wanted to do this without actually killing them. In fact, ridding Theodora from Winkie Country would do much to increase her goodwill and reputation among the Ozian populace. If her plan succeeded, she could potentially rule the Winkie Country for herself. If her plan failed, she would blame any collateral damage on Theodora, thus pushing the Quadling Country and the Winkie Country into a war. Such a war would ultimately boost her prestige.

The good people of Oz do not kill. But she had a plan.

The lieutenant stared at her visitor. "I will be paying the Wizard a visit in the next several days…"

Several moments passed as her visitor simply stared at her. If Agatha had not spoken with her informant previously, the deafening silence would have been rather creepy.

"…But Glinda…"

The lieutenant snapped. "Do not worry about Glinda. She is involved with matters at the Emerald City. While she's there, I will make my next move…"

Before turning and walking out of the bedroom, her visitor simply nodded. "I will inform my master…"

"By the way…" Agatha gestured with her hand before her guest left. She reached under her desk and pulled out two big boots, its heel shining a bright red aura. "I found this in Glinda's bedroom. Apparently, she had found this in the Wicked Witch of the West's old chambers at the Emerald City. I plucked it from her closet. I wanted to give you these for your service…"
