Chapter 3: (The Yellow Brick Road)

(The Yellow Brick Road)

*June 5th, 1900*

*Munchkin Country*

*Day 1*

Dorothy stared at the Good Witch of the North in complete awestruck as she had appeared out of thin air as all of this was new to the young girl.

The little witch's hat was pure white. It rose about a foot above her head and was pointed at the tip with little jingle bells which ran all across the brim and made a faint tinkling sound as she moved. She wore a puffy white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders. Over it were sprinkled little stars and half moons that glistened in the sun like diamonds. The little woman's face was covered with wrinkles, her eyes were the colour of violets, her short curly hair was nearly all white, and she walked rather stiffly, but had a friendly, welcoming smile.

"You must be the young girl who defeated the Wicked Witch of the East, correct?" Locasta asked Dorothy in a polite tone of voice as she waited for an answer as Dorothy eventually nodded her head.

"Y-Yes but I didn't mean too, I truly didn't. My house literally fell on her, I'm truly sorry for my actions..." Dorothy apologized to Locasta as the Munchkins fell into laughter while some shouted praises of joy while Locasta smiled at the young girl before filling her in.

"Oh dear, it's actually a good thing! She was a terribly evil witch I must say! She ruled over these poor Munchkin folk with an iron fist for quite some time, that is until when your house crushed her.." Locasta had spoken back in a happy yet calm tone of voice as she pointed over to where her legs were located.

"Oh my, she sounds awful! I just hope I don't anger people that she knew.." Dorothy had spoken back in a worried tone of voice while Locasta remained calm as she further explained to Dorothy about the situation.

"No worries my dear! She has zero connections to anyone since she was a rather private person although I should explain some other things to you, my dear but first..." Locasta had explained to Dorothy as she looked over at the legs and feet of the dead witch and what captured the old witch's attention were the silver shoes.

"These silver shoes shall do, POI!" Locasta had spoken out as with the snap of her fingers, the silver shoes had magically appeared to Dorothy as the young girl was wearing the shoes which was followed by the mutters and chatter amongst the Munchkins as they were surprised at what they just witnessed as this also surprised the young girl.

"A-Are these the evil witch's shoes? I don't know if I can handle wearing them.." Dorothy had objected to the good witch as Locasta spoke once more.

"No worries, my dear. These silver shoes are very useful when in great need but they're very powerful indeed, unfortunately they won't protect you from harm's way.." Locasta had explained as she walked over and kissed Dorothy on the forehead as a small yet beautiful glow appeared before it disappeared.

"W-What happened? I felt this strange glow when you kissed my forehead..." Dorothy had asked in confusion as she waited for an answer.

"That kiss is meant to protect you at all costs. You see, you are in Oz, a beautiful yet dangerous country if you aren't too careful so my kiss shall protect you from harm" Locasta had explained while Dorothy nodded her head in understandment.

"I see, Oz seems like an interesting place but how do I actually get back home? My folks are awfully worried about me at this point.." Dorothy asked Locasta once more as she saw Locasta pointing over to a yellow road.

"My dear, you must follow the Yellow Brick Road at all costs and once you do, you shall enter the great Emerald City and there, You will meet Oz, the Great and Powerful..." Locasta had answered back as right when she said that, the Munchkins all bowed in respect.
