-An Unknown Time, At an Unknown Date in Looking Glass Land-

It came to a surprise to her, to the Dual Queen of Hearts that her reign has came to an end... but at the same time she felt that it was justified.
The people were tired of her, tired of the radical changes that she had brought to the land for better or worse.

There would always be those who resisted change even if it might for good and there would always be those who resisted stagnancy for the sake of peace and prosperity.
She had delivered her promise of neutrality till the end, passing judgement with all the facts laid out in front of her.
In essence she was like a pair of scales, deciding between good and bad, right and wrong and it was her duty to ensure that everything was Black and White from the beginning till the end.

But it seemed like it was not sufficient, that there would be people who feel that the old way was best, that the rules that have been set in stone were the ones that they should follow.
Two different cultures, two different way of lives... how foolish was she to imagine that she would be able to merge the two of them together.
That she could view the two of them as the same when they are so different.

Perhaps she should have stopped when she was ahead... and that she should have been satisfied when she was the Queen of Looking-Glass Land.
She could have stopped there... but when Wonderland asked her for assistance, for her help due to the links of friendship she had with them to slay the Jabberwock, the Bandersnitch and other monstrous beasts that was running rampage around in Wonderland.

But she did not and here she was, stripped of her Title, her Throne and her right as the Queen to be... who she was, who she had been... and yet who is not the same.
She had been young then, when she wandered into Wonderland and the innocence that she had was gone, tainted and corrupted by the darkness and the lunacy that the inhabitants of both worlds have shown her.
Her youth was taken from her and one knows that no one could reverse the effects of age or the loss of innocence... growing and not yet maturing till she reached the age of 28... where time stopped for her.

There was no time for the girl named Alice.
There was no time for the woman named Alice.
There was no place for either Alices'...
But there was certainly Alice...
The Queen called Alice.
The Queen which they called as the Dual Queen of Hearts, Alice.

The same Alice which saw her life and what it could have been shattered when the revolt destroyed the Looking-Glass which had given her this New Life.

Now, who is this Alice who is walking down the path towards the Tower where she slayed the Jobberwock with the last of her loyal troops.
The Knight and the Rook, the Ace of Spades and the Queen of Diamonds following and trailing her as she walked on towards the place where her life was forever changed as she uttered out loud.

'One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
She left it dead, and with its head
She went galumphing back.'

Holding the snickersnee in her hands, the dagger that has served her so faithfully, the vorpal blade forgotten and granted to the Black Knight, Alice spoke her last words to an unseen audience.
The last words that a Certain Queen told her before, a long time ago when she had no idea of the path that was awaiting her

'And then... off, with her head.'
Only the four silent objects saw the grisly scene as she took her own life to spare her the disgrace of being taken
There was nowhere for her to go now, nowhere she was wanted as she did not belonged to this world.
The world with it's opposites reversed.
The world with it's balance reversed.
The world where she is the only one who is straddling the line between sanity and insanity, living and dead, good and evil.
She is... she was... once, just a girl who wanted adventure...
And who wanted love.
That is all.
--

There was only one wish left in her heart.
For someone to remember her,
For someone to remember Alice.
Not The Queen, Alice.
But the girl,
The woman.
Alice...

--
Player's Note: The reason for Alice being recorded in the Throne of Heroes is her wish for someone to remember her for who she was.
Not the Queen, nor the hero... but the girl Alice.
