You all have heard the story of "Alice in Wonderland," am I right? Ha. I bet so. And I also bet that you think that everyone was evil and mean to poor Alice for not getting her out of harm's way, huh? Well trust me we did. We tried everything to get her to safety, and not for the reason you think. I am called the white rabbit in that silly little book, but no one ever asked my real name. It's Whitey. Whitey John Rabbitson, and believe you me, it is not fun to find out that they made a fairytale of our story. Either world, be it your world of America where she was raised, or be it in Underworld, where she was born, she is always in danger now. Up there she is in danger of being a slave, and down here she is in danger of being put in jail or having her head cut off by her own aunt (if you can even call her Alice's aunt. Yuck.) But I am skipping ahead of myself. I should start at the beginning, back when she was born.
A few years ago, in a pearly white palace decked out like a set of cards, a little girl was born. Sadly though, it was a time of war down here for us. We were in a war between the White Knights of Peace, and the Red Cards of the Bleeding Hearts. Our Queen knew that she would not make it through the war. After she was born, Alice was sent away from our world and all of the fighting, to be raised by the humans in the world above. It was a great sacrifice, but it was necessary. Alice was sent to an orphanage in the country of America. Hattro Maddison left a note with her, explaining her name and birthdate, nothing else. The Queen figured she would be safer that way. Her aunt knew nothing of her existence. After two years, the white queen died of a poisoned weapon. Our Queen still held many secrets, (we still did not even know if the rumors of another child were true) most of us had left after Alice was born. Many secrets were still hidden, so we still did not even know what our own men had hidden.
She was supposedly the last obstacle that the red queen (as we call her) had to face. The Knights who knew of Alice and her existence fled, and escaped to help the villagers. The others were already dead or slaves. After the villagers and the other people were safe, we each faked our own deaths and went above ground.
Dorris Mouswit and Mark O'Harren, those are two knights that are as good as any, stayed down almost all of the time and helped the villagers, like … what was his name… oh yes, like your Robin Hood. Only they are not big birds, any who, this story will contain the memories of all of us, which we have gathered.
