Have you ever heard of this story?
It was rumored that there was a dream. In fact, this dream was so small that nobody knew who dreamt it, or if it would ever come true.
The dream had started to think about how they could stay relevant, and not fade away.
“I don't want to disappear.”
“How can I make more people dream of me?”
The little dream brainstormed ideas, and almost gave up, but then came up with a solution.
“I will make humans live and dream within me.”
The very first ALICE that had first entered Wonderland, was not an ordinary human. It was from the opposite of Wonderland, Nilspace. It was a Nilinstance that managed to crawl its way up to Wonderland. Jx1 carried a sharp claymore, using it to cut down creatures that had resided within Wonderland.
The amount of blood it shed caused a bright red trail to always follow behind Jx1.
One day, however, Jx1 was caught and locked away as a fugitive. No one knew why.
If only jx1 did not make that bloody trail, none of this would have occurred.
The second ALICE, one who also was from Nilspace but was not a Nilinstance—was a singer who went by Sean. Sean would sing songs in the wonderland, attracting animals, people, and even dangerous creatures.
His voice and his halo were interesting aspects of him, and his halo seemed to glow ever-so-slightly when he sang.
Sean sang more and more, and not only attracted the living, but the dead as well. Skeletons had walked towards the source of the singing, and would sit down to listen to it.
Sean could not stop, so he kept singing until he couldn't. Until his vision blurred and until he coughed up blood. Even then, it seemed like that attracted more people.
That ALICE was one of a blue orchid, a beautiful, bright blue flower.
He had been attacked by a group of creatures one day. The flower that was once so bright and vivid, had turned dull. As it withered away, so did his corpse.
And even then, he was admired by all those who enjoyed his singing.
The third ALICE was a young boy around the age of 13. He was something that stood out in the wonderland—he was innocent.
The ALICE, Brandon, had unintentionally attracted thousands of people. They had all worshipped him, and formed a country under his name.
Brandon was made king of the country, and could not do anything to stop it. The only thing he could do was delude himself into thinking that he would be cherished like this forever. He feared that one day, he would fall from the top, and would become nothing again.
He continued to rule from the top with pains in his heart.
During this time, there were two twins that had entered Wonderland. They were following a path in the forest.
They had tea beneath a orchid bush, before something was dropped on their table. A invitation card from the castle was—
The ace of hearts!
The fourth ALICE was not a single individual, but instead two children who were siblings. They wandered through Wonderland for fun and out of curiosity. Even when they met creatures, or were faced with countless obstacles, they had kept going on.
The stubborn little sister, Hailey, and the (almost as stubborn older brother), Ethan, were close to reaching Alice's wonderland, however..
That was long discarded, and nobody knows what happened to the siblings after they encountered the first ALICE. It is said that one of them is forever wandering Wonderland, never wanting to wake up from their dream.
The sibling that had lived, was unable to wake up from their dream.
They carried the headless corpse of their sibling around, hoping to find anything so that they could be bought back.
