Second Encounter: Elf Queen

That day Pompodoro had went missing,

so Little Doro and the android ventured to Elf City.

She wore a weird outfit: the top was an overall and the pants were jeans shorts.

She borrowed the clothing from the Lingerie Queen (despite the queen's attempt to get Doro to wear something more wholesome.)

The Queen blamed the girl's style on Doro's intercourse with Jackson, but Doro had later explained it was what she always wanted: to be a Juliette

On the journey to Elf-City, Little Doro and Jackson traveled through the mountains on horseback. They had to stop at Thalia's Outpost and use her dragons to cross the sea. They reached Elf City, which was an expansive forest.

There they met the Elven Queen.

She was a tall and rather pale redheaded Elf.

Doro thought all the elfs were small midgets, but it seemed to be half and half. Some were big, some were small.

Little Doro took a walk with the Elf Queen down a forest path.

She had never seen such light filtering through the trees.

"So, you come from Eaaarrrtthhh?" asked the Elf Queen.

Doro nodded. "Over there people call me a Lolita."

"What is this Lolita you speak sadly about?" asked the Elf.

"It's a book about a promiscuous little girl. I'd prefer to be called Juliette instead."

The Elf nodded, "Like Rome and Juliet? Your great poet Shakespeare has walked through this forest."

"No, not Shakespeare. Marquis de Sade."

The Elf looked at Doro in surprise, "oh, him. The extreme sex addict. He walked through here, too."

"Really?" Little Doro brightened up, "what did he do?"

The Elf Queen spoke with scorn, "He raped all my elf women. They had given birth to strange-looking human babies, but I took care of that."

Doro looked away and changed the subject, "my dragon has gone missing."

"Your dragon has wandered into the City of Oz." Said the Elven Queen.

Little Doro asked, "How do I get there?"

And almost instantly a parade of Elfs, tall and small, came out singing of the great King of Oz Realm and to follow the road of made yellow bread.

In other words:

Follow the road of yellow Twinkies and cream.

Little Doro, accompanied by Jackson and Sevy (the Queen of Lingerie), began their adventure down the road of Twinkies.

The path had went through a forest of mist, fog, darkness and lampposts. A giant Tiger-Lion jumped out at them and summoned a roar from the depths of his belly.

"You dare tread to the Realm of Oz?" he asked in a low tone.

Little Doro stepped up to the big cat and said, "Yes, sir. My dragon has gone missing and I want to go home."

The lion-tiger sighed, "my cub has been made a pet to Oz-man's daughter. Your journey will not be swift, young girl. Oz-man has people watching the four realms of Oz."

"I don't care. I just want my dragon back."

The lion-tiger stepped toward her and said, "I realize you are not of this realm, or any of the realms. You are human, right?"

Doro nodded.

"For you, Short Life, your journey will be especially dangerous. You must pass through the Fields of Woe."

Doro stepped down to the liger and patted him on the head, "will you accompany us, Mr. Liger?"

He thought for a moment and said, "yes, I will. Oz-man owes me a few women."
