If four worlds are too many i apologize... but my beloved land of Oz needs a Renaissance, in a matter of words. So, welcome, traveler from beyond the rainbow, welcome, to Oz...

Enter: Illua
The portal opened, and lita stepped out of it. All around her, mindless soldiers were busy making black mages out of mist, of any and all races. She couldn't help but shudder as a bangaa and viera black mage were led out of the Mist-machine. They reminded her too much of Vasil and herself. She finally came to the place she was going to.
"Illua," She said, pounding her arm to her bosom and bowing a military bow. Illua turned. "I have captured three of-"
"I know already," Illua interrupted her. "With two Grimiores"- she ran her hand over a Grimoire with a rabbit motif-" I know anything that happens in my story. Get back to work. You're being slow with your job- odd, considering your reputation."
Lita stifled a reflexive attack. Who are you to judge my methods? She thought bitterly. Remember, Illua,... there's a reason I keep attention to detail...
The Awakening of the Waltz:Prelude
Jill woke up with a slightly fuzzy feeling. She heard Kakashi yelling.
"YOU IDIOT VEGETABLE!" he was shouting. " Jill's one of the undead! Only a Death spell can wake her up!!! Not Life!"
"S-sorry..." Jack was cowering. Darnit... Jill thought. He's a red mage... how can i marry him like that?
"It won't matter what spell you cast," a viera rattling a keychain told Jill that she was in a cage."in a while, you'll all be resting the enternal slumber, real or not..."
"What do you mean 'real'?" Kakashi demanded.
"Well, I see that undead lass," The viera's eyes glinted."And the jack-o-Lantern as mere shadows, storybook characters. Mages like you-" she tilted her head to a winged mage near the back of the room-"And him as the simple puppets you were manufactured to be. But then again, everyone's someone else's puppet- until they cut the strings."
She walked out again, and Jill got up to observe the Black Waltz.
Reveal: Jack's Mentor
"Alright," the girl said."You're learning pretty fast, Jack."
"Thanks! But," Jack looked at her as seriously as he was able."When can I learn some of your shadow-magicks?"
"Those," she smiled."Are mine, and mine-"
"PRINCESS!" a black mage ran towards them.
"Halt!" on the other side, a young woman in military uniform- General Jinjur- strode up to them. "Madam, you are under arrest for illegal use of black magic-"
"The princess ain't goin' anywhere," Kakashi grabbed the girl." But to her home-HalloweenTown."
"Wha-?" Jack was confuddled.
"Jack, I guess it's time you learned my name," the girl smiled her wide, haunting smile."I'm Jill Skellington- First Daughter of The Pumpkin King."
A sudden peal of thunder resounded above them.
To Detract from the story: Jack meets Jack
Cause Jack Skellington bears SO many resemblances to Pumpkinhead, and Jack-of-Oz wants to be the perfect son to... well...ANYTHING, I found this pic perfectly cute!
Enter: The Uninvited Guests...
"That princess, always hopping off to other worlds, eh?" Kakashi Solitaire, a black mage of a serious rank-and serious ego- yawned as he stepped out of the portal. A woman with white hair and sorrowful eyes followed.
"Where are we again?" she asked.
"Neh.. Calendula said the Realm's name was Oz..." He flashed his trademark smirk."Pretty dumb name, don'tcha think?"
"...Oz?" She trembled. "... Let's finish this quickly."
"Alice?" Kakashi cocked his head."Is there something dangerous about-"
"Yes, very dangerous," Alice interrupted.More for me than for you...She added silently. "Let's find Jill and leave, quickly."
