On the balcony of the White Queen's castle, Alice, Bayard, and the Queen herself stood against the pillars. Alice, now in a comfortable dress, leaned her elbows on the flat surface of the railing. She sighed while tapping her fingers worriedly.
"Worried?" The White Queen asked, noticing Alice's frown.
Alice stopped her tapping before glancing to her right. "Very." She admitted. She pushed herself up slowly. "My own aunt sacrificed herself and I don't know if she's even alive."
The young girl continued to stress herself out as the thoughts ran through her mind. The White Queen smiled sympathetically before grazing her hand on the telescope next to her.
"You must care for her dearly."
Alice turned immediately. "I do." She paused a little as she remembered small moments she had with her aunt.
"She has always inspired me. Besides my father, she was the only one who didn't see me like a mad fool."
She turned to rest her arms on the edge once again, her hands kept her head up as she rested her chin.
"She's been everything to me. Aunt Y/n didn't have anyone to listen to, she created her path yet she strayed from it when she pleased to do so."
The White Queen let out a faint hum. "I had hoped to have a champion by now." She sighed.
Alice bit the bottom of her lip gently. "Why don't you slay the Jabberwocky yourself? You must have the power." She questioned her.
The White Queen let out a soft sigh. "In the healing arts. It is against my vows to bring harm to any living thing." She moved herself around gracefully as she spoke.
She flinched back as a bug got too close to her face. She made a small face before waving her hand around to get rid of the small pest.
She smiled before letting out a small chuckle. Then, she moves around the spyglass before placing her eye against the smaller end.
With a wider smile, the White Queen pulls back. "We have company." She then walked away so she could greet those who were coming.
Alice moved over quickly and grabbed the telescope. Her eyes gazed over the small crowd that was walking over a hill.
The Tweedles were holding hands, McTwisp was behind them with Mally on his head, Bayard's wife and some pups were running behind, and the Dodo bird from before was following slowly with a limp.
A frown formed on her face as she saw a lack of both the Hatter and her aunt. She grew worried as she continued to look over the group once again.
Tweedles, McTwisp, Mally, Dodo Bird, the pups. Tweedles, McTwisp, Mally, Dodo Bird, the pups. Tweedles, McTwisp, Mally, Dodo Bird, the pups, Hatter-
Alice froze as two figures came over the hill. They were further back from the others. Y/n held a sleeping pup in her arms while Hatter had his arm looped through one of her arms.
He chatted enthusiastically with her as Y/n smiled in response. Her arm lacked a sash as her wound was now better.
Bayard hung off the top of the edge as he too was eager to see who was coming to the castle. Alice bent down and held the spyglass up. "Bayard. Have a look." She offered.
The dog's eye looked through the glass and his tail started to wag quickly. He could see Bielle and his pups.
They were okay.
He was overwhelmed with happiness as he couldn't speak. All he could do was pant and wag his tail.
