" who is absolem? " Alex asks as he and (Y/N) was being led deeper into the forest. " he's wise. he's absolute" the white rabbit said, " he's Absolem," the twins said at the same time. they walk into a large mushroom forest surrounded by light blue mist, Alex looked closely ahead of him and saw a big blue catiplier in front of them smoking. " who are you?" the catiplier asks. " Absolom?" Alex asks as he waved the smoke out of his face, " you're not absolem. I'm absolem. the question is, who are you/?" Absolem said," Alex." Alex replied as he looked around in confusion at the weird and strange forest. " we shall see. " abslem said as (Y/N) steps next to Alex. " what do you mean by that?" (Y/N) asks as she defends her friend. " I ought to know who I am." Alex said with a bit of anger. " yes, you ought, stupid boy" abslem said as Alex scoffs in anger, " unrool the oraculum." abslem said as the white rabbit hops in front of Alex and (Y/N) to unroll a scroll in front of them on a small red mushroom. 

(Y/N) and Alex look at the scroll in awe, " what is this?" (Y/N) asks, " the oraculum, being a colendrical compendium of Underland. " the white rabbit replied as Alex kept looking and saw different pictures of war and destruction, " it's a calendar." he said. " compendium. it tells of each and every day since the beginning. " abslem said, " today is grilling day in the time of the red king." the white rabbit said as they saw a drawing of all of them looking at the scroll right now. Alex raised an eyebrow in confusion before they hear abslem say, " show him the frabjous day". " Mmm. yeah, frabjous being the day you slay the Jabberwocky." Tweedledee say as Alex looked at them in shock, " sorry? slay a what?" he asks, " oh, yeah. that being you, there, with the vorpal sword. " Tweedledum say as Alex and (Y/N) look and see a drawing of Alex dressed in armour and fighting a large black dragon light create. " no other swords can kill the Jabberwocky, nohow." " if it ain't vorpal, it ain't dead." Alex shakes his head as he takes a step back in disbelief, " that's not me!" he said. " I know." the mouse said. Alex takes (Y/N)'s hand and started to lead (Y/N) away but she stops him. " resolve this for us, absolem. is he the right Alex?" the white rabbit asks abslem. " not hardly," abslem said before he vanished in the blues mist. 

 the creates turns to Alex and (Y/N), " told you." the mouse said, " oh, dear." the white rabbit said as they started walking towards Alex and (Y/N) as they steps back in fear. " I was so certain of you." the white rabbit said to Alex who still had (Y/N)'s hands in his. " I'm sorry I don't mean to be the wrong Alex," Alex said. Alex thinks for a moment before he said, " wait, this is my dream." Alex said as he turns to (Y/N). " what are you saying Alex?" (Y/N) said, " I'm going to wake up now and they'll all disappear." Alex then pinched himself and (Y/N), " ow," she said before Alex opens his eyes and saw that they were still in the forest.  " that's odd. pinching usually does the trick" Alex said to himself in confusion, " I could stick you if the would help" the mouse said as she draw her pin sword from her holder. " it might, actually. thank you." Alex said as the mouse nodded, " my pleasure." she said before landing at Alex's feet and stabbing him in the foot, " ow" Alex said before hearing a growling sound in the distance.

then a large creature with teeth smashed through the forest as armoured red cards followed behind. Bandersnatch!" the twins said in fear as Alex and (Y/N) gasps in fear. Alex grasped (Y/N)'s hand and starts running through the forest and the red cards catchers the others. " keep running!" (Y/N) called out to Alex as she looked behind her and the create getting closer to them. Alex stopped in his track as (Y/N) kept running. " it's only a dream. nothing can hurt me." Alex said to himself as he turned to face the creature as it came charging towards him, (Y/N) stops and see that Alex stopped in his track, " Alex" she called out as she ran back to him. " can't hurt me. can't hurt me."  Alex said to himself before the creature went to attack but the little mouse jumped on top f the create and stabbed its eye with her sword. the creature screeches in pain and it scratched Alex's arm as it moved around in pain. Alex hissed in pain as (Y/N) grabbed Alex and leads him away from the monster. as the knight pulled away the creates of Sunderland, a man walked up and picked up the scroll from the floor and looks at it. he looks at the drawing of Alex and gap as he realized who that boy was. he quickly hops on his horse and rode off out of the forest. 

Alex and (Y/N) made it out of the forest and down a pathway but came to two pathways. they saw a sign pointing in two directions. " which way should we go?" (Y/N) asks as Alex thinks, " I don't know" he replied before (Y/N) hears a birch screech from above them. she turns to see a large bird swooping down to grab Alex. " Alex!" (Y/N) called out as she shoved Alex away from the bird as she was grabbed in its talons. Alex stood up quickly and watched as the large bird carried (Y/N) away, " (Y/N)!" Alex called out, " ALEX!" 

the bird carried (Y/N) through the air as the wind hit's her face, she tried to remain calm. but then they came towards a large red and white castle, (Y/N) looked in shock as the bird carried her inside and drops her to the ground, (Y/N) landed on the hard ground with a thud, (Y/N) groans in pain before looking up and seeing the red armoured card soldiers in front of her, she gasps in fear and shock as they grabbed her by the arms and dragged her into the castle. 

" Someone has stolen three of my tarts!" a man yelled out as he slammed open his throne room doors. the man was dressed in a red and black royal outfit with a gold crown with dark red diamonds on it. no one answers as the man walked into the throne room where a line of fog henchmen stood in front of him as he walked towards them, " did you steal them?" he asks one of them, " no, your majesty" one of the frogs said before the kind walked to the next frog. " did you steal them?" he asks another, " no, your majesty." then there was a moment of silence before the king walked back towards the third frog. " did you steal my tarts?" he whispers to his henchmen, " no, your majesty" he said in a low voice, but then the king noticed something to eh corner of the frog's lips. the king looked at the frog in anger as he said in a firm voice, " squimberry juice." that's when the frog panicked, " I was so hungry! I didn't mean to!" the frog said, " Off With His Head!" the king yelled out before he started walking towards his throne, as the frog was grabbed by guards, " my family! oh, please, please don't! I've got little ones to look after!" the frog yelled out as he was dragged away. " go to his house and collect the little ones. I love tadpoles on toast almost as much as I love caviar." the king of hearts said, " yes, your majesty" his henchmen said as the king sat on his throne. then knave walked in with the oraculum scroll in his hand, " your majesty." he said as he bowed to the king of hearts, " llosovic stayne, where have you been lurking?" the king of hearts asks. " majesty, I have found the oraclum." llosvic said before he throws he scroll out as it rolled on the ground. the king looked at the scroll and scoffs, " that? looks so ordinary for an oracle." the king said. " look here, on the frabjous day" llosvic said as he pointed to a drawing of Alex fighting the jabberwocky. " I'd know that tangled mess of hair anywhere. is it Alex?" the king of hearts asks, " I believe it is." llosvic replied. the king raised an eyebrow as he said, " what's he doing with my Jabberwocky?" " he appears to be slaying it." llosvic said making the king stand up from his throne in anger, " he killed my Jabberwocky?!" the king asks in anger. " not yet, but I will happen if we don't stop him." llosvic said, but then two guards came in dragging (Y/N) with them. 

" who is she?" the king asks, llosvic looked at (Y/N) and said, " she was with Alex in the forest, your majesty. she must be a friend of his." the king of hearts looked at her in awe, she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. the king of hearts walked up to (Y/N) with a smile, " I must say, for someone who roams around with alex, he curtenly picks the really pretty ones to be friends with. whats your name?" the king of hearts asks, (Y/N) didn't say a word making the king chuckle. " if you don't answer, I will have your head, understand?" the king of hearts said making (Y/N) scared, " (Y/N). my names (Y/N). i haven't done anything, please let me go" (Y/N) begged, " I can't let that happen, you see I just been told that your friend with a dear enemey of mine, by the name alex." the king said, " I don't know who you're talking about" (Y/N) said, " don't play a fool to me, darling. I know you are friends with alex, now you are going to tell me where he is or will I have to do this the hard way. " the king said, (Y/N) shook her head, " I don't where he is" she said, this makes the king scoff, " very well." he turned to llosvic, " find him, find alex, Now!" the king yelled out as his guard started running out the building, " and you" he said as he points to (Y/N) making her gasp, " you came become someone very special to me, maybe a queen if you would like. that would be nice wouldn't it." he said in a flirty tone, (Y/N) felt like she wanted to be sick as she said, " I'll never be your queen, my heart only belongs to one." " well, you don't have a choice in the matter, lock her up in my room and don't let her leave." the king of hearts said as guards grabbed (Y/N)'s arms and dragged her away. once (Y/N) was locked in the king chambers she looked outside the window as she watched as llosivc and some guards left the palace looking for Alex, she was now worried that the man she loves would be hurt by this mad man. " please be safe, Alex" she whispers to herself. now all she could do was wait for her knight in shinning armour to save her from the tower.
