The Wonderful Land Of Oz

Chapter 52: (The Cruelity of Aurora)

(The Cruelty of Aurora)

*January 15th, 1906*

*Land of Mangaboos*

Aurora was walking on the air above her subjects with great beauty as she continued to make her way towards the glass palace.

"It's beautiful! It's sublime! At least my brother has managed to take care of it while I was growing underground" Aurora had spoken out with a huge smile on her face as she looked up to see the six colored suns shining upon the Land of the Mangaboos and she found this to be beautiful as well.

"These intruders will pay for ruining such a sublime sight like this...that I can promise.." Aurora had spoken out to herself once more as she looked down to see Jim carrying the carriage which had Dorothy and the others inside as this made her smile with delight as she continued to walk towards the palace with great delight.

"So, you were the former ruler of Oz which is the land above, right? That's quite interesting" Betsy had spoken out to Oscar with great interest as she was met with the man nodding his head in confirmation.

"Correct, I've also managed to build the Emerald City as well but I had to do a little bit of lying to convince the people of Oz that I was some sort of God and it seemed like it worked" Oscar had spoken back while laughing to himself as he looked over to see Dorothy staring out of the small carriage window and this made him confide in her.

"Dorothy, you okay? I know the Princess of the Mangaboos has gotten you worked up but just know that we'll find a way to get out of here, I can promise you that" Oscar had spoken out to Dorothy in a reassuring tone of voice as he saw the young girl turning around to face him.

"I'm not okay, Aurora is a very cruel woman no matter how good she looks. She'll always be vain and ugly! She might even be worse than the Wicked Witch of the West" Dorothy had answered back while Zeb and Betsy looked at her with concern as Eureka was gonna say something smart; however, Betsy noticed this and gently raised her finger to silence the cat as the conversation between Dorothy and Oscar resumed.

"Look, I've met some cruel people in my life both in Nebraska and Oz but if there's one thing I must advise you is to now allow your emotions to get the best of you, okay?" Oscar had advised Dorothy as this piece of advice clearly didn't help as the young girl sighed and continued to look out of the window.

"Oscar, you're the cruel one around here, you are just as bad as Aurora, Wicked Witch of the West, and so forth. You should know that..." Dorothy had spoken back in a rather annoyed tone of voice as this out of nowhere outburst surprised Zeb and Betsy greatly.

"Cousin Dorothy is truly upset but why is Oscar cruel? What exactly did he even do during his time in Oz.." Zeb had thought to himself as he continued to stare at the events unfolding while Betsy comforted her friend.

"Friend, It's okay. I know what Oscar did was wrong but we have bigger issues to worry about so let's focus our attention on getting out of here, okay? We're talking about the same Dorothy who killed both Wicked Witches and defeated a Nome King so please cheer up, not for us but for yourself as well" Betsy had advised her friend as she saw Dorothy looking at her with a small smile.

"You're right and I should cheer up if I want to get out of here but thank you for cheering me up, I really needed that" Dorothy had spoken back to Betsy as she smiled warmly at her friend while Eureka finally spoke up.

"Someone's finally cheerful again! I don't know how long I would have tolerated someone being in the dumps" Eureka had spoken out in her usual smart tone of voice as this made Dorothy and the others except Oscar chuckle as the man was stuck in his thoughts.
