The Inheritor [Twisted Wonderland FF ft. OC]

Chapter 1-01 ~Midnight Hanging~

~Twisted Wonderland~

???

It was late by the time Himemiya and Grim had reached their dorms. After taking a quick bath and tidying up, they immediately went straight to bed - fatigue consumed their bodies as they delved into a deep sleep.

Or so the young woman thought.

Not when she suddenly found herself in a somehow familiar dark and endless space. And there she stood in the middle of it, all by herself.

"Where...is this place?" she asked herself as she looked around.

And as if someone or something was answering her question, a mirror suddenly appeared in front of her - big and wide enough for her to see her whole full body as she stared at her own reflection with wide eyes.

But what happened afterward took her even more surprised when the mirror shone brightly that the young woman had to cover her eyes. 

And once the blinding light was slowly dissipating, Himemiya slowly peeled her eyes open, only to find that her reflection was no longer shown in the mirror but instead, it was replaced with scenery that she had never seen before.

"...urry...! Hurry...!"

The sound of panicked voices reached Himemiya's ears and much to her surprise, it came from inside the mirror.

She watched in awe when she saw trump cards with faces and hands and legs running all over the place in a hurry, carrying buckets and brushes in their hands.

"Hurry! Hurry!" one of them shouted as he and the others reached an area where there were many trees with blooming white roses planted around the place.

In all honesty, it was a beautiful sight despite the lack of colours of the scenery she was watching.

Until one of the trump card people did something that caught her off guard.

"Hurry and paint the roses red!"

And right after that, the same trump card figure brushed one of the white rose with red paint. 

The sudden bright red colour splashed into her view as it was the only colour that she saw inside the black and white scenery. 

"Hurry before the flowers wither!" another one of the trump cards did the same as the previous soldier did.

The actions of the trump card people left Himemiya in shock as she watched them covering all the white roses with their red paints. But what completely caught her interest was when one of the trump card, an Ace of Clovers said afterwards.

"Hurry! We need to paint all the roses red!"

"Paint...all the roses?" Himemiya asked in wonder. It certainly piqued her curiosity. But unfortunately, none of the trump card people was able to answer her question.

Until a young girl appeared.

She had a long hair with a little black bow on top of her head and wore a short-sleeved blouse. The young girl cautiously entered the area, looking all around her in great wonder and awe until she saw the trump cards painting the roses.
