Traitor: The Live and Times of Fiyero Tiggular

Disclaimer: The only characters I have any claim to are Maziar, Sandhya, Master and Mistress Tenmedows, and my interpretation of the brief character Avaric. The others are not mine.

A few notes: Fiyero’s skin tone and tattoos from the Maguire novel are used in his appearance. Some details may come from the original source of this world and L. Frank Baum’s vision of Oz. Also, I’m aware of how painfully common this is, but I never found one that started before Shiz. Also, I'm putting this up a bit early because it's lighter than If We Let Them, despite the Clairvoyant!Yero angst. This story is dedicated to danderson, who gave me the confidence needed to break my hiatus a lot sooner than expected. May you get several more stories with 300+ reviews.

Introduction:

Perhaps it is too soon to publish this biography. Perhaps we have waited long enough. Yet Glinda the Good and King Scarecrow have commissioned me to write the biography of one of the most famous and lusted-after men in contemporary history. The same one that proved himself a traitor to the Wizard in the end, siding with the Wicked Witch of the West.

I know why I was asked, with several professional authors would write this tale better than I ever could. I knew him. My family served his; my mother and father still work for Prince Maziar of Winkie Country. More importantly, I not only served Fiyero personally, we felt we were like brothers. I don’t remember my feelings about being told to work, but any memory I have of the Prince is pleasing. I would still have to tell others my tale if this were a much greater man writing it.

While I know he could tell where his story ended and mine began, I never could. It’s times like this I wish he were still around. Share a drink with me at a pub. Tell me it’s nothing compared to ruling a country or finding someone that he has to pretend to fear. Nothing will bring him back. And let me know when I delve too much into my story. So this may end up our biography and not just his.
