Oscar and Theodora walked up to some tall guards. They were marching in formation. A very short man was leading them.

" Hello Knuck". She pointed at Oscar. " This is the Wizard".

The short man blew a whistle. The formation stopped. He pointed at Oscar. " All hail the Wizard". All the guards got down on one knee. 

" These are my Winkie Guards". Knuck grinned. " They protect the Emerald City".

Knuck obtained a driver and a carriage for Oscar and Theodora. The carriage stopped at the entrance to the palace. They walked inside and then down another corridor.

Then Theodora opened another door. Oscar's jaw dropped. The large room had huge windows overlooking the city. The floor was green marble. There were huge chandeliers.

In amazement, Oscar walked up some stairs. He stopped at a huge emerald throne.

Oscar grinned. " Is this my throne?".

" Yes Wizard". Theodora smiled. " It is".
