Wicked page 5 by ric gustafson
Frex was back from his two week mission at Three Dead Trees. One day, he was smoking from a sallowwood pipe. " I believe my mission is to the downtrodden and humble".
Turtle Heart spoke up. " Lots of downtrodden in Quadling County".
Melena stared at Turtle Heart. " Why did you leave Ovvels anyway?".
" Horrors".
" What sort of horrors?".
Elphala squeaked. " Horrors".
Turtle Heart looked startled. " That's the first time the child has spoken".
" What kind of horrors Turtle Heart?".
" Workers from the Emerald City came".
" What happened?".
" They see that Quadling County is sitting on deposits of real rubies".
Melena looked in horror. " A road made of rubies is not yellow brick".
Elphaba squeaked. " Horrors".
Frex stared at Melena. " We need to go to the Emerald City and help Turtle Heart plead his case".
Melena looked at Frex. " I can't".
" Why not?".
" I am with child".
