"I have to say, your reasoning was spectacular. However, if you seek the charm, Wonderment himself keeps it. Anyhow, Ace?"
"Ah, yes. Alice Liddell. I have to say, you did well. From the outside, you appeared just like all the other Liddells. But with Majesty Cherie's Crossroad, here, your true colours were shown."
"By Cherie's law, I am forbidden to read out your results, however, I believe that Cherie would like to give you a personal piece of advice."
"Quite. I have to apologise for making you journey here without result. So for a bit of compensation, I shall write down your future in Wonderland, however you can only access this manuscript through the riddles of the Cheshire cat or if you manipulate the future."
"The Ace will take you back to the castle at the end of the Rabbit hole. Thereon, the Cheshire cat will assist you."
"You will do well. I would like to help you more, but you're out of my hands now. Your fate belongs to Wonderland. Oh and, I believe the Cheshire cat has a different colour now. Your Alice scared him so much."
"Farewell, sweet Alice. We shall meet again."
*oh, sweet Cherie*
More than can be seen. Her daunting appearance shows a gentle heart, albeit perhaps one laced with frost.
"Alice. Let us return."
That jolt- I was getting sick of it.
And now- alone, and back in the shabby castle. Exactly where I entered from. Except this time. I spied a snowflake blue tail dart out of sight.
Cheshire, you're mine.
