THIS WAS THE COLDEST PART OF OZ. the stone of the castle seemed to repel the heat. dorothy trembled against the wall, trying to calm herself, palms flat against the floor. anything to try and ground herself. out of her depth and pulled in several directions in such a quick span of time. "i didn't come to hurt you." she said after a moment. dorothy wasn't sure if the witch knew that was what the wizard asked of her. it did not seem like the population of oz took kindly to her, so she was sure it wasn't a surprise. dorothy wondered how it could be that a land could have both good and bad witches. and a part of her wondered who decided which was which. she looked down at the shoes, slightly sparkling in the firelight. "the witch - the good one -" she clarified. "said these shoes could only be worn by a witch with great power. is that true?"
