"And how long ago did the Wizard come?"

"He came twice. Once when...before I was born. The second time when I was only a child, he came in a balloon and was instantly hailed as a wizard."

"So... for all you know it could have been bad before he showed up as well."

"It was gradual, after he came. He couldn't just change everything overnight. He gradually denied Animals more and more rights, he drained the Quadling swamps where I was living at the time to mine the rubies, and later went after the Arjikis. All of these things were fine when I was a child. Animals could hold jobs, and the Quandling swamps were healthy and thriving."

"Well, it might have been worse before. Power vacuum and whatnot." Spike shrugs. "Everything's complicated with politics."

"What power vacuum? Oz was ruled...well, by Ozma's regent, but there was a government in place before he came along and killed those in power." And she was convinced the Wizard had, despite the lack of evidence.

"Do you know that? In the books he wasn't particularly murderous. Just stupid."

"They were story books. They also didn't mention the draining of the Quadling swamplands. But no, I was a child at the time, and even though I've seen quite a few things in mirrors, I never saw what happened to Ozma."
