Chapter 3

Hello Alyss.

Are you Alyss?

Yes, yes you are. I'd recognize your face anywhere.

Step into the light.

Move a little closer.

No, I know that's fire. It's meant to be.

This is Wonderland.

It's not yours. It's much worse.

There exists an Alice. Not an Alyss, an Alice.

Alice.

Remember when Dodgson promised to record your history faithfully? Remember waiting four long years for your history to be published and revealed to the world? Now remember your disappointment. When you picked up that book and saw what he thought of your adventure. Dodgson thought you were lying, that you were making up funny little stories to entertain adults. He mocked your tales and everyone you were acquainted with. He ruined your life.

And his book has formed the basis for this world.

This other Alice, is a monster, a tyrant, a vicious villainous creature worse than Queen Redd could ever hope to be. She made an entire world for the sole purpose of torturing its inhabitants. She recreated your world in her own image to spite you.

What about your royal tutor Bibwit Harte? He was paraded around as a sort of court jester for a while, laughed at and tortured for fun, until he was shrunk to the size of an ant and was flattened and killed.

General Doppelganger, the commander of the Royal Army, has been bifurcated into two jabbering oafs, who cause pain and suffering wherever they go, seeking to please only their evil desires.

You royal bodyguard is in grave danger. He has been kidnapped by his counterpart in this Wonderland, and I can only imagine what's being done to him.

And me? I am forced to live life as an artificial being, placed here only to be RUTHLESSLY MONTROUSLY TORTURED AND TORMENTED UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

Try using your imagination.

Oh dear. Your imaginative powers are restricted here.

Here.

Take my eye.

Kill Alice. Doing so will transform our world into a utopia not unlike yours. We'll have crystal buildings and turquoise amphitheatres. We'll have jollyjellies, gummywads and tarty tarts. We'll probably even have a heart crystal.

Alice is here to torment us further.

Kill her.

Your Wonderland isn't he only Wonderland that needs you.
