Silas went to sleep that night, as he drifted off he found himself in a dream world, being fully conscious of what was going on. In front of him was a throne on which a woman was sitting who seemed to be in her early thirties. He head was deep red and almost reached the floor. A golden crown decorated with a ruby heart was on her head. She was wearing a white Victorian collar, a tight corset which brought her boobs out. Her lower body was covered by a long dress with a red, black and white color scheme. In addition to that she wore high boots and white sleeves. She was sitting on her throne with her legs crossed. Silas approached her in slight confusion, even though knowing that she was the woman who spoke to her earlier. Her crimson eyes stared into Silas' soul, luckily for Silas his soul wasn't the most innocent. [color=crimson]"Hello young one. I have a lot to talk about with you."[/color] her filled red lips said. [color=orange]"Okay, sure."[/color] Silas replied. [color=orange]"Just a few minor questions..."[/color] he paused. [color=orange]"You claim to be the 'Queen of Hearts' what does that mean?"[/color] [color=crimson]"Queen of Hearts is merely a title, or nickname, in our world. My true name is Anastasia, you may address me as that as well."[/color] [color=orange]"I like saying 'my queen' a little bit more."[/color] [color=crimson]"Oh, splendid. I came to this futuristic world without magic to search for someone able to handle my power inside of their body. And after exploring your memories, you seem to fit the bill quite nicely. However I am looking for someone by the name of 'Alice'. I want to destroy her world, this one. And don't worry you may come along with me to Wonderland as reward for helping me. But for things to be set in motion I need my accomplices. The Knave of Hearts, and Jabberwocky. I brought them along but they have probably been searching for a body themselves as well."[/color] [color=orange]"That sounds like a reasonable explanation. I would be glad to help you in your cause. If it is power I get as reward."[/color] [color=crimson]"Power you shall get my sweet boy." she handed over a blade to Silas. "This is the Vorpal Blade, don't be frightened when you wake up with the blade in hands, it is used to control the Jabberwocky. Seek him out, his host most likely will comply, and else you can use your powers."[/color] [color=orange]"My powers...?"[/color] [color=crimson]"Did I not explain that? My powers should have manifested through you, they are the powers of psychokinesis. You can control objects and organisms at will. You are able to read the thoughts and memories of others as well, although a direct kiss is needed to do so."[/color] [color=orange]"Awesome. I'm really hyped to do this!"[/color] Silas replied in excitement. [color=crimson]"Now hush little boy. Get your rest and I will speak to you tomorrow."[/color] Silas fell into his deep slumber and awoke with the Vorpal Blade in hand. He stood up and threw the blade in the air and used the psychokinesis to levitate it in the air. He snatched it out of the air and a playful grin appeared on his face. ----------- The Duchess was just enjoying a nice meal, prepared by her cook in her manor in Wonderland, when the Cheshire Cat paid a visit to her again, the cat being her reckless pet of course. The cat got word that the Queen of Hearts, along with the Knave and Jabberwocky headed off to the world of Alice. Duchess asked if the Cheshire was also heading there, and he was. Duchess pushed her meal aside and requested her cook to watch the manor while she was gone, as she was out to settle a score with the Queen. No, she didn't have any emotional attachments to Alice. She only had been a bother for her throughout her visits, and almost caused her to be beheaded if she wasn't saved by her own cat. The Duchess headed to the looking glass and her spirit went to the other side. She roamed the skies not finding a suitable host with an innocent soul. She spotted a girl who was walking alone to her school, she seemed to be slightly older than 10 years but seemed to emit a mature personality. She found her host. Charlotte was heading towards school, making pace as the school bell would ring soon. It was then that she suddenly felt something enter her, making a brief stop as she felt it, but quickly continued on walking. [color=olive]"Hello young girl."[/color] a soft, calm voice spoke. [color=yellow]"Uhm... who is there..."[/color] Charlotte's had widened by the shock of the sudden voice, despite no one being near her. [color=olive]"Do not worry child, it is me, Duchess. I would never hurt a sweet little girl like you."[/color] [color=yellow]"Whoever you are... you are beginning to frighten me..."[/color] Charlotte said, as she continued walking as she feared she might be late otherwise. [color=olive]"You're already such a pleasure sweet Charlotte. I will not bother you anymore, please have a nice school day. I will talk with you after you finish it."[/color] she said. [color=olive]"However be wary of your new power, don't try to poison any consumable things, it would be a disaster."[/color] her tone of voice suddenly changed to one more aggressive one. [color=olive]"Don't poison anyone."[/color] she said ruthless. [color=yellow]"I won't miss Duchess..."[/color] Charlotte said freaked out and quickly hurried into her classroom.
