Sleeping Good Witch

Chapter 1: A Blessing and a Curse

In a far away land, named Oz, a baby girl was born to a King and Queen of the Upland family. They named her Galinda. All the people in Oz loved her, and gave her the title of "the Good Witch" because no one could see a single drop of evilness in her. King Galal and Queen Larena were extremely proud of their new baby girl, so they held a great feast for the citizens of Oz to come and see the new princess.

One of the most important guests that were invited was the King Frederick Tiggualr and his son Fiyero. King Galal and King Frederick always longed for their two kingdoms to become one, so they made a deal that their children would be betrothed to one another. In turn this dream of uniting their kingdoms would come true.

As the feast was taking place Ozian after Ozian bought gifts in honor of the new fair haired princess of Oz. But one of the most important gifts given were by three fairies who's names were Madam Morrible, Nanny, and Yackle. Each had magical powers that were known throughout the land of Oz.

Even though their powers were used for good there was also dark magic that flowed in Oz as well. The Dark Witch, Maleficent, was the controller of this dark and evil magic. She usually kept to herself, but when she did appear she only bought sorrow to the land. The Ozians were hopefully that she had left Oz entirely because no one had seen her in nine months.

As the great feast was taking place the three fairies lined up to give their gifts to the new baby Princess Galinda. Madam Morrible was the first, and gave Galinda the gift of kindness and goodness. When it was Nanny's turn, she gave her gave the gift of beauty. After Nanny it was Yackle's turn to made her way up towards the Princess to give her gift.

Just then before Yackle started her chant, a might blast of wind flew though the castle and a great puff of purple smoke appeared in front of the great hall. The crowd of Ozians gasped in shock, for when the smoke cleared they saw it was none other than the Dark Witch Maleficent standing before them.

Maleficent was an intimating woman with two massive horns upon her head. She wore a jagged cape and a long black frock, but even the large dress could not hide the fact that her skin was green. Her eyes seemed to glow yellow as a large crow sat perched upon her shoulder. In her right hand she carried a golden scepter that seemed to glow in an eerie way.

"My, my, look what we have here?" The Dark Witch replied, as her eyes fell upon the cradle that held baby Galinda. "So this is Princess Galinda? My, isn't she precious."

"Be gone Maleficent! You are not welcome here!" King Galal shouted, as he moved in front of his wife and child.

"Oh, I can't leave without giving the new princess my gift," Maleficent replied, her voice shockingly genuine.

"You have a gift for the our daughter?" Queen Larena asked in her tone unsure.

"Of course!" Maleficent shouted, as she raised her hands into the air as an evil grin formed upon her lips. "Listen well Ozians! There is no doubt that Princess Galinda will be beautiful, kind, and good. But I place a curse upon her! Before the sun sets on her 21st birthday, she will drink from a magic green bottle that is irresistible once her blue eyes lay upon it. Once she drinks even one drop of this magical elixir she will die!"

"You lie!" Larena shouted, in fear.

"Do not misunderstand. I am not jesting. The curse is real!" The Dark Witch's malevolent grin only grew more.

"How can you be so confident?" Galal demanded.

"You see, King Galal and Queen Larena, I have something to celebrate as well. Not too long ago I had a child of my own. A green and wicked daughter. She will follow in my footsteps, and I will teach her all I know about witchcraft and dark magic. She will aid me in taking over Oz and ruling it! And her title will be The Wicked Witch of the West!" Then with a hardy cackle she threw back her cape, and a round of thunder echoed though the hall where the Ozians stood.

"Gale Force! Seize that Dark Witch!" King Galal shouted.

"Fools!" Maleficent screamed, as she whispered a spell, and within seconds, she seemed to disappear into thin air. Only her crow remained who gave out a cry before flying out an open window.

"Oh, our daughter is doomed!" Larena wailed, as she fell into King Galal's arms sobbing.

"Do not fear yet my Queen. All is not lost," Nanny answered, as she flew up and patted the Queen on the back to comfort her.

"You can undo the spell?" Larena asked, her voice filled with promise.

"Sadly no. The Dark Witch's magic is far too strong for us, but there still hope," Yackle said, as she flew up to the princess. "I still have my gift to give." With those words Yackle closed her eyes and began to speak out loud, "Fair golden haired princess, even if your lips touch this drink of green. Know that death will not be the next thing seen. You will not die, you will just sleep. This sleep shall be deep. But do not fear, for true love's kiss will make this curse break. And then, my princess, from that kiss you shall wake."

King Galal and Queen Larena were still fearful for their daughter's life, so they placed a price on Maleficent's head as well as her daughter's. They also outlawed any drinks that were a green color and even went as far as destroying every green bottle in the land. There was no such thing as being too careful.

...X...

When Maleficent returned home she grinned as she saw the cradle that held her own daughter. The Dark Witch's army of winged monkeys were looking after the small green skinned babe while Maleficent was away.

"Elphaba, my daughter, mother's home. I have missed you. Oh, Elphaba, I have sent in motion the events that will make you the most famous Witch in all of Oz! Before you know it you will be The Wicked Witch of the West!" Maleficent exclaimed, as she peered into the cradle that held her daughter. The Dark Witch was overjoyed to see her daughter was awake and looking up at her with large brown eyes.

Just then Chistery, the most loyal of all the winged monkeys, tugged on Maleficent's dress before asking, "What about the Prince Fiyero? There is no doubt when he turns of age he will do all that he can to protect Princess Galinda."

"Let him try," Maleficent said, as her eyes narrowed. "But there is no way he will be able to stop myself, The Dark Witch, and my daughter The Wicked Witch of the West!" The castle then erupted with the sinister cackle of Maleficent. Once she calmed she stroked her daughter's cheek and whispered, "In time, Elphaba, Oz will be ours."
