The Wonderful Land Of Oz

Chapter 118: (Moving the Rock)

(Moving the Rock)

*January 14th, 1907*

*Iv Plains*

The afternoon wind breezed through the grassy fields as Dorothy struggled to push the rock, trying with all of her might.

"Gosh, this rock just won't move. What is it made of..." Dorothy uttered to herself, taking a few deep breaths as she sat on the ground to catch her breath.

During this, Rose approached Dorothy, hearing the entire question, and she was quick to provide an answer.

"Oh, this rock? It's made from the hardest known metal called Ozmite. It's going to take a miracle for you to move this rock. Remember what Keiko taught you, that's your only hint." Rose explained to Dorothy before turning around to walk back to her home, and this left Dorothy surprised.

"Ozmite? Wait! That's the same type of metal that Dion trapped me with, but if so, why can't I move it? I destroyed it when I unlocked my super form." Dorothy asked Rose, feeling curious yet confused while the girl saw Rose stopping in her tracks.

Soon after, Rose turned around, smugly smirking at Dorothy.

"Oh really? Perhaps Dion summoned some fake Ozmites, hm? Because I can assure you that nobody besides a select few could destroy it let alone move it.." Rose answered, turning back around to head back to the cottage.

After this, Rose continued walking back to her cottage before speaking again to Dorothy.

"I expect that rock to be moved by the end of the week, okay? I believe in you." Rose ordered Dorothy once more before waving her goodbye as she entered her cottage.

Soon after, Dorothy waved back, feeling a bit more confident.

"Don't worry, I will move this rock. I won't fail you." Dorothy whispered, turning her direction back to the rock, ready to push it.

Dorothy soon leaned over, placing her hands on the rock, getting into position as she tried to push the rock.

"Come on, move..." Dorothy groaned, struggling to move the rock before taking a few deep breaths.

*Cottage*

Back at the cottage, Rose, Flynn, Keiko, and Betsy ate lunch in the kitchen, discussing their next move regarding Zorya and Alice.

"So, what does your sister want? Seems like she's insane for wanting to turn the world into darkness.." Rose asked Flynn, taking a bite from her peach while she waited for an answer from the boy.

After hearing the question, Flynn took his time to gather his thoughts before answering the question.

"I'm not sure. She never told me; however, I believe those thoughts slowly came when we were kids, you see, Zorya was pretty lonely, and that scared off people in our village. I guess she wants to have others feel her pain.." Flynn responded, gently rubbing his fingers around the cup of water that he was drinking while Rose nodded.

"I see, well, It seems we have to extract information from that girl, I never got her name but it appears that she works for Zorya." Rose responded, placing her fingers on her chin to think about the situation while Keiko spoke up.

"Well, we just have to wait until she shows her face again, but for now, Dorothy needs to move that Ozmite so she can get her sword. As much as I want to put an end to all of this, it's best to lay low." Keiko chimed into the conversation, speaking in a serious yet formal voice while Rose, Flynn, and Betsy nodded in agreement.

"I agree. I just hope nothing bad happens beforehand.." Rose responded, taking a sip of water from her cup before looking out of the window to see Dorothy struggling to move the rock.
