Chapter 24

Megan's POV

I didn't know what was going on? Glinda has just ordered everyone to her chambers so quickly. I didn't even see Dimtri, it was all happening so fast. Why did Glinda need all of us now? Manda and I had found something out that was very important, but...by the look on Glinda's face I guess it could wait.

"Lock the door Daniel, no one is to know about this but us" Glinda said in a very serious tone. This put me on edge, I could feel..no I could barely feel Lin. She was scared, and...something else. I couldn't tell. Like her engery or magic was flowing into someone else...I just couldn't figure it out. It made me weak to try, and I dont think my husband would want to watch me faint. There was enough drama in our lives right now.

Soon as the doors closed, all of our attention was on Glinda. She seemed like she was piecing things together in her head which looked very exhausting.

"Okay seriously what is going on?" Luce said worried "My mother just fainted earlier! And I'm worried sick, please Glinda what is going on!" I felt so horrible, Jen and Manda did too. Luce was under so much more stress than us.

It was like she was the only poor girl in the middle of this war. Her mother once a puppet of her Aunt Zandra, and her father perhaps being the wizard in Wicked, she saw the man every day and he yet did not say a word to her. Then, the fact that her allies lie with us. I dont even begin to see how she handles it.

Manda placed a hand on Luce's shoulder, an effort to comfort her. Finally Glinda managed to pull herself together and speak

"All of us know Elphi-...Idina lost her magic to Zandra. Along with almost loosing one of her children. Fi-Taye and Kerry have left to find them, and little Liir...he's changed. Thats all I can say. We have to find a way to make them our friends again and get them back soon. But...today I was speaking with Arya I noticed her sword,Gracedone. Thats when something in my mind clicked."

All of this information about Elphaba and Fiyero,,,their kids was news we already knew of. I did anyway, I was there when Kerry ran off. It hurt more than anything that I didn't try and stop her.

Glinda pulled out the Grimmerie, but instead of opening it, or reading its mysterious spells. She pulled out a small notebook page, ink plots were covering it but I could make out quick short written hand writing.

Norbert came around his arm snaking around Glinda's waist as she began explaining.

"This is a note Elphie wrote before..." She shook her head.

"Anyway its a note about how possibly all of our powers are linked to each part of Oz. Like Im air, so it was would the Air of the Uplands. You know what I mean. So what Elphaba wrote is, if we all get to the main part of the magic, to each part of oz. Time it right, then we might be able to end this war permenatly banning all dark magic from Oz forever."

Wow, Glinda had come up with all of that, just because she was Elphaba's best friend. This was just shocking to us all well to me at least. They both had to be researching in secret that way they would know the idea was fool proof.

"Glin, that is a pretty good idea. But I mean I'm no magical ozian, but wouldn't you need a source to control all of that magic at once? So it doesn't over loud and your not attacked?" Norbert asked curiously, his arm still locked around Glinda's waist.

"Your right love, that's where I thought Elphie's idea had failed, thank oz I was wrong. And a special thanks to Arya for helping me figure it out." Arya looked dumb founded. She didn't understand what she had done, and being honest. Neither did I? Nor anyone else. Finally Glinda made her way to her close, walking back to the wall.

"Um Glinda, I know you like clothes but really this isnt the time" I said crossing my arms across my chest. A few of us laughed but not once did Norbert or Dimtiri.

"See, a year ago when we first found out of our powers. We discovered something in that locked room back in the Uplands. I kept them hidden away without anyone noticing, cause I felt they weren't needed. That is...Only now I know theses are our ways to help end this war." Okay now I was really confused what was she talking about.

All we found in that room was the book of legends and ...Wait. She means...

I was right, Glinda carefully pulled out our swords. Some of us had been given one. Norbert, Fiyero, Jen, Kerry, Dimitri, and Rye...but Rye was gone and there was a seventh sword that...

"The seventh sword belongs to Arya..and it represents Riley..." Jen whispered in shock I think my head was about to explode. But Glinda only smiled nodding while she handed Dimitri, Jen, and Norbert their swords.

Thats when something made me feel this idea was never going to work and have serious doubts.

"But Rye...he and Nessa have been gone since...who knows where they are!" I managed to say trying my best to hide the doubt I felt.

Nessa and her husband Rye had just ran away from us during a battle, last time we fought Zandra. Leaving Amanda with the power of fire. We had not seen them since. But Jen and Glinda merely shared smiles.

"I think I believe what we can do" Jen said winking. Now I was even more confused as she stepped towards me.

"Meg I need you to try and contact Lin, what ever you can do. Luce, we need your mother and the real Daken as well. This might just work." Norbert kissed Glinda turning to Dimitri who kissed me.

Then only then did I feel the hope in the air.
