The Wonderful Land Of Oz

Chapter 89: (Into the Training Room)

(Into the Training Room)

*July 15th, 1906*

*Winkie Country*

The afternoon sun shone upon Scarecrow's home as everyone was departing for Tin Woodman's castle.

"Alright, is everyone ready to go? We don't want to be late." Omby Amby spoke to everyone while he was met with nods of confirmation from the gang.

"Of course, I can't wait for Aunt Em and Uncle Henry to see Tin Woodman," Dorothy responded joyfully while Omby Amby smiled back.

"Wonderful. We shall now head over to the castle, hang on tightly." Omby Amby responded with a smile before using his staff to teleport everyone to their destination.

*Tin Woodman's Castle*

The gang arrived at their destination, and of course, the castle was still as beautiful as ever.

Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were captivated by the beauty of the castle which made Dorothy smile.

"What a magnificent castle! So this was where you killed the Witch, right? It looks so much nicer than how you described it." Aunt Em spoke to Dorothy with awestruck in her voice while the young girl smiled back.

"Correct. The Wicked Witch of the West used to live in this castle, and she enslaved the Winkies for years, but luckily I managed to save them, although It was by accident since she was trying to kill Toto." Dorothy responded while Aunt Em nodded understandably.

"I see. That explains the statue of you and your friends. I can see it in the gardens I presume." Aunt Em responded while looking over at the beautiful garden which was behind the entrance.

"Yup, I'm pretty much a hero to the Winkies. If it wasn't for my quick thinking then they'll be enslaved to this day, so that's their way of expressing thanks." Dorothy responded once more with a smile while feeling herself getting closer to the castle.

"Oh yeah, how do the Winkies even work around here? Are they soldiers or civilians?"  Polychrome quickly asked while Scarecrow was the first to respond to the question.

"Some are soldiers and some are civilians. Tin Woodman has about a thousand soldiers for self-defense, and another thousand to keep the castle from rusting." Scarecrow explained to Polychrome while the rainbow girl nodded in an understanding way.

"Ooh, I see. The Winkies sound quite fascinating." Polychrome responded with curiosity while Scarecrow nodded.

The gang continued to walk toward the front entrance of the castle, and there, they met with Tin Woodman who greeted them and allowed them within the palace grounds.

"It's great seeing you again, Mr Chopper. How have things been for you these days?" Dorothy greeted her friend while hugging him warmly which was returned by Tin Woodman.

"Hello, Dorothy. I'm doing good these days, and I assume these two are your Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, right? It's a pleasure to meet both of them." Tin Woodman greeted Dorothy back while shaking the hands of Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.

"Of course, I've been waiting to introduce them to you for a long time, so I'm glad that you guys can meet," Dorothy responded kindly while Aunt Em and Uncle Henry smiled at this.

"Of course, it's a pleasure to meet Nick Chopper.  We've heard good things about him from you." Uncle Henry responded to Dorothy while continuing to shake hands with Tin Woodman.

"I could say the same as well, my dear Henry. It makes me glad to finally meet Mr Chopper as well." Aunt Em spoke to Uncle Henry while she shook hands with Tin Woodman as well.
