„Look. There it is!"
Stunning, Leo and Dorothy looked at the castle in front of them. It was built of amber, but the lack of light made it seem minatory.
„There have never been so many clouds in the sky while the Good Witch lived here." Lily explained. „The castle had been shining in bright shades of orange and yellow. The Dark Wizard is not good for this land."
„So, you remember how it had looked before? Have any other memories returned? Where can we find the Good Witch?"
Lily shook her head. She could not answer Dorothy's question. No matter how hard she tried, the memories of her life with the Dark Wizard remained vague. They had to get inside the castle. But how? While she was still thinking about it, Dorothy knocked on the door
„Wait, what are you doing?"
„Trying to get inside of course."
„Great! You don't mind that they could kill us now, do you? Why should the Dark Wizard welcome visitors?"
Lily was interrupted when a voice behind the door asked who they were.
„Hello. My name is Dorothy, and I come from a country far away from here. It is called Kansas. I got lost here and would like to know if could stay in this castle for the rest of the night."
It sounded as if the man would leave, and Dorothy just wanted to say that it has been worth trying when the door was opened. Dorothy followed the man through several dark corridors deeper and deeper inside the castle. Lily and Leo stayed right behind her.
But then she was pushed into a small room, and a door was slammed behind her. By Lily's screams Dorothy could tell that the winged girl has been pushed into another prison cell.
„It was a trap. I am so sorry Lily, I had no idea."
„Really? Then you are too naive. Did you expect the Dark wizard, who defeated the Good Witch, to be a nice guy after all?"
Dorothy thought of an appropriate answer when some soldiers marched around the ground. Through a tiny window, she could hear them sing and shout.
Soldiers
We work for the King
We work for the Dark
Prepare for the fight!
We'll be starting war
The very next night
Keep straight ahead for the victorious date
When our fate we'll control, we'll decide
Hold onto your aim.
Hold onto your nerve.
Hold onto your force.
March to the Munchkins and make them give up!
We work for the King
We work for the Dark
Prepare for the fight!
We'll be winning war
Before it gets light
March to the Munchkins and make them give up, give up!
Lily, that is horrible! They want to attack the Munchkins. That would be the Dark Wizard's victory over Glinda, the other Good Witch. We have to get out of here. We have to find the Good Witch of the South. But how?
