Prologue: Once Upon A time
You've probably heard this story before Right? About the scared little girl Alice who found herself lost in a place, she called wonderland.
Well, that same little girl returned to wonderland and started a rebellion against its evil ruler the red Queen, or as you all know her the Queen of hearts. Alice almost won but the red queen had a secret weapon.
The Jabberwocky! A terrifying dragon-like beast. The beast outnumbered them, but Alice Was prepared and she almost killed the beast had the red queen not interfered. Alice was shot with a poisoned arrow.
She would have died if it weren't for the white queen. Her potion saved Alice's life. However, Alice had no choice but to leave. She Promised to return one day, to finish what she started. But she never did. For she soon fell in love with a man in her world.
The man's name was Damion Grey and he was an artist. They married and soon Alice was expecting a child. However, the child was not what anyone expected. "It's a boy!" She heard her husband whisper in her ear.
Alice laid sweating in her bed she could hear the sound of her newborn son crying. "D-Damion?" She cried her husband's name out. "Shhh, my love I'm here." She smiled up at her husband his green eyes gleaming in the dim light.
Alice sat up much to her husband's dismay. "I want to see him." Alice my love please- you're not well. I want to see my son! He sighed and took a small bundle and held it out to her. Alice lifted the blanket and gasped.
Her son was not what she expected. The poor boy had a disfigured face and a crooked spine. She stared at the baby in silence. "Something must have gone wrong." I'm sorry my love. The deformed red-haired baby opened its eyes and smiled up at its mother.
Alice smiled at her newborn son. "He's perfect", Alice said stunning both her husband and the doctor. She's delirious. The doctor said. The doctor tried to take the child from her arms, but she refused to let go.
I-I want to keep him. Damion looked at his wife concerned. "Are you sure?" People have judged me for less. I won't do the same to my son. He nodded. Of course. What are you going to name him? She thought for a moment and smiled.
Quinn. A unique name for a unique boy. She said smiling down at her son. For the next few years, the boy grew up happy and content with his parents. Alice not wanting to expose her son to the life she had lived in decided to keep her son hidden from the outside world.
Her husband bought a large mansion in the country far from the rest of society. The boy spent his childhood running around the gardens and playing pretend. The boy, like his mother, had a very vivid imagination.
His favorite person in the whole world was his mother. He would spend hours listening to her stories. She had traveled the world. She once owned her own trade company and even had her own ship. But she had given it all up to take care of him.
Quinn's favorite story however was the stories of Wonderland, a place his mother had gone to many times before. There were talking animals and magic and anything you could imagine.
He even imagined that he visited wonderland with his mother. "Mother" Yes my dear. Have you ever gone back to wonderland? Only a few times. Don't you remember you were there too? Oh right. Can we go back tomorrow?
I'm sorry sweetheart but we cant. Why not the 9-year-old asked pouting. It's not safe there right now. Bad things are happening. But one day everything will get better. I hope I can go back one day. Maybe you can.
But tragedy soon struck for Alice grew gravely ill. The little boy cried as he stood at his mother's bedside. "Don't forget about wonderland Quinn. Promise me you won't forget." The ten-year-old boy nodded tearfully. I promise.
But he soon forgot about his dreams of the past of his childhood fantasies. He grew up. The news of Alice's death reached wonderland, Or Underland as it was called by those who lived there.
Alice's friends mourned her death, but they knew that the hope for Underland lay in her son Quinn. And it's on this day Nineteen years later that our story truly begins!
