I didn’t ask for some of this. I didn’t consult to be some type of hero. But when your whole existence gets swept up by a tornado-taking you with it-you have no choice but to go along, you know?

Sure, I’ve browse the books. I’ve noticed the movies. I understand the track about the rainbow and the content little blue wild birds. But I under no circumstances expected Oz to look like this. To be always a place where Good about Dorothy Must Pass away Witches can’t be trusted, Wicked Witches that are the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There’s still a street of yellow brick-but actually that’s crumbling.

What happened? Dorothy. They state she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power visited her head. And today no one can be safe.

My name is Amy Gumm-and I’m the various other young lady from Kansas. I’ve been recruited by the brand new Order from the Wicked. I am trained to combat. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman’s center. Grab the Scarecrow’s brain. Take the Lion’s courage. And-Dorothy must expire.
