Air
Elphaba loved the fresh air at night. She loved the way the wind caressed her cheeks, enveloping her.
She loved how it blew the leaves down to her, so she could wear them as a crown.
But she loved it even more when she learned to fly…defy gravity, the force that kept everything on earth.
She raced the wind and took deep breaths of air, and thought that the Other Side must not be far away.
