Demeter smiles wistfully to Albi.

'''The way I see it... you should not consider it a cross. It may not be something so bad as what you all think. Treat it as a new leash in life. A new path. '''

'''A choice. '''

Demeter pats her head.. and warmth flushes down Albi. '''If you will ever need me, Holstaur.. pray to the Earth. Pray to me. Here, in this sacred land... I will answer.'''

Glinda nodded. "That was what confused me. Did the King really know of what the Presets were doing? If he did... he wouldn't have ordered such a thing. Or... maybe he was blindly made to state such a pretense."

"Whatever the case may be..." Elphabi raises her hand. "Past is past. Whatever you had seen and understood from the Presets those years ago... it no longer applies today. (Her eyes flash green) Liandrie created clayforms to attack the innocent. She turned a human into a lust-filled Mamono without remorse. She killed a Wane Wiccen."

".... I don't want to believe it."

Glinda looked at Morgan. "Liandrie... she can't have done such a thing. She promised me that when the time is right, she and the Presets cwould come out of the shadows to show Oz the truth about magic. She said she would never forget my kindness. (Her eyes tear up) Why... would she betray my trust that way??"



"...but in exchange, you never get to see what the world has become. Or what you have given the world."

The man looks towards Nardu. "It's true, we are commended for this sacrifice. We have done a great service for the Candy Country and will probably be never forgotten. But we.. have never even seen our children. Or our children's children, if they already had any.

See, we aren't allowed to leave. If any of us ever vacated our spot... there will be an imbalance in the system. I.. don't want to imagine the results to this very land should it even occur. We are bound to this task; to stay here, serving the factory. (Shakes head) Which I must say.. the Duchess should name in a more positive perspective. Outsiders like you definitely thought it sounded wrong."

"Guess I have to thank you all." The man says as he pats Ritzie. " ... I got to see one of my kids. Someone.. who gets to make her own choice in life."

Upon hearing this the man frowns.

"..... who did you hear this from?"
