(The Valley of Voe)

*January 15th, 1906*

*Valley of Voe*

Dorothy and the others had fallen into the black pit as they were falling deeper and deeper into their unknown destination.

"Oh maan! I hope Aurora doesn't chase after us and she seemed pretty angry after what we've done to her face.." Zeb had spoken out in fear while Betsy quickly gave him reassurance that everything was gonna be okay.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that witch won't be chasing after us anytime soon so it seems that we gotta find a way out of here" Betsy had spoken out to Zeb while also feeling herself falling below as well which gave Zeb a sense of relief as Dorothy began to speak in joy.

"I think I see a landing! We're gonna be out of here pretty soon!" Dorothy had spoken out while looking below to see a path and much to everyone's luck, Jim had managed to land on the path without any trouble.

"Whew, I'm glad to have landed on this path but it's too dark for me to see what's approaching me! I need some light if we wanna continue on '' Jim had spoken out in a confused tone of voice as Oscar quickly came to his assistance.

"Here, I'll use one of my matches to create a lantern so we could see better and if I didn't bring any extra sources of light then we would have been lost" Oscar had spoken out to the horse as he carefully lit the match thus creating a source of light which revealed a path.

"The road isn't too shabby, if we follow it than it could lead us into a place that's not as dreadful as this awful place" Dorothy had spoken out while looking into the light that was at the end of the path while Zeb and Betsy nodded their heads in agreement.

"Alright, I suppose we should get going or else those terrible Mangaboos might find us" Jim had spoken out as he began to walk towards the path while his human companions had taken the time to discuss ways to get out of here.

"Dorothy, how often do you talk to Ozma? I'm sure you and her are probably friends at this point. I need to know everything" Oscar had asked the young girl in a curious tone of voice as he was met with Dorothy nodding her head in confirmation.

"Of course, Ozma uses her magic mirror to talk to me whenever she wants; however, it's only once a week due to how busy she is" Dorothy had answered back as this quickly made Oscar more intrigued as he leaned forward with great interest in hopes of figuring out more of this new revelation.

"How often and when does Ozma usually talk to you? I believe she might be the key in us getting out of here so please tell us everything you need to know" Oscar had spoken back to Dorothy with great enthusiasm as he waited for more answers.

"I usually talk to Ozma once every Tuesday at exactly noon and it's only on that day since she's quite busy with affairs and other such things, why?" Dorothy had spoken back in a curious tone of voice as she was met with Oscar smiling as he had taken out a small calendar from his pocket which made the young girl curious.

"You see, tomorrow is Tuesday! If we just survive until then we might have a chance at going back to the surface!" Oscar had spoken back to Dorothy once more while pointing at the date rather enthusiastically which made Dorothy and the others smile as Zeb was clearly relieved when hearing the news.

"R-Really?! I sure hope that's true cause I don't know if I can last any longer in this awful place! I would rather be at the barn than be here" Zeb had spoken out in joy while Betsy smiled as she knew that this journey could almost be over while Dorothy quickly spoke up.

"Well, it's not a guarantee that tomorrow will be the day that Ozma speaks to me since there are certain weeks that she'll postpone due to her very busy schedule but I believe the magic mirror could locate our location if Ozma was to speak it" Dorothy had spoken back to her friends in calm tone of voice as Zeb sighed to himself while Betsy gave a rather worried look on her face.
