“Citizens of Oz!” Madame Morrible began, and for a second Elphaba thought herself celebrated—some naive part of herself believed Madame Morrible would host a celebration all throughout Oz for her. But Elphaba knew better—it doesn't match up with what she heard before.
“There is an enemy who must be found and captured. Believe nothing she says. She has stolen our Grimmerie. She is evil, responsible for the mutilation of these poor innocent monkeys! Her green skin is but an outward manifestorium of her twisted nature.” Oz, Elphaba Thropp what have you done? How could you do something so—inhumane?
Elphaba’s fateful meeting with the Wizard has been delayed after an unexpected and frankly, quite frightening vision. Left in Shiz with her closest friends (and their own troubles), Elphaba tries to, in some way, help the Animals and hopefully prevent what she foresaw.
