Chapter List

CHAPTER LIST
"Alyss of Wonderland" has three parts, and a prologue and epilogue which were released after the completion of the main series. The first part, Return, has ten chapters and features Alice as she awakens in Wonderland, having completely lost all of her memories of who she is and her past. She must complete three grueling, impossible tasks to prove her identity as the "real" Alice of Wonderland and begins her journey to recover her memories, only to find that her destiny in Wonderland is much greater than she ever could have imagined. Part Two, Memories, has fifteen chapters and focuses on Alice and the Mistress of the Overland, as Alice slowly pieces together her past and the truth behind Overland and the fake Alice. This is where a lot of Alice's past is revealed, and her relationships in Wonderland develop. Part Three, the finale "Time", has fifteen chapters and focuses on the War of Wonderland and its completion as Alice regains all of her memories and must fight to fulfill her destiny while rescuing those she loves, who have also turned into her enemies. The prologue and epilogue were published soon after the last chapter of Part Three.

The sequel, Beyond Wonderland, thirty chapters long, while the prequel, The Queen of Cards, is twenty chapters. Alyss of Wonderland's premise was based off of a combination of different interpretations of Alice in Wonderland, including Alice in Wonderland/Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, The Disney movie Alice in Wonderland, the 2010 Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland, Pandora Hearts, and the Pacthesis simulation day Wonderland Days, as well as the manga and anime Alice in the Country of Hearts.

PART 1 - Return
1. PROLOGUE - Chapter 1 - Pandora's Box [1] 

Alice, back in 1800's London, England, is working as a servant for the Rittleridge family. She is treated horridly and worked to the bone. The head butler of the house, Janneth, orders Alice and another servant, Emily, to go fetch firewood. While out in the forest, Alice separates from Emily after she starts following whispers that call out her name. She notices a white rabbit, and is drawn to it. After following the rabbit, she ends up lost, and finds a white box marked with a large A. As she nears the box, a figure appears.

2. CHAPTER 1 - Chapter 1.5 -Are You Alice? [2]

Alice awakens from a strange dream to find herself falling through a hole. When she lands, she faces trial before the Court of Cards, who accuses her of being another "faux" Alice. To prove her identity and gain her memories back, Alice is told that she must go through a grueling series of tasks to prove that she is the real Alice Ledell. With the help of a strangely familiar voice in her head, and the Cheshire Cat to guide her, Alice works through the three tasks one by one in order to prove her identity and gain access to Wonderland.

Meanwhile, the Queen of Diamonds prepares her court for war against the Queen of Hearts, who has supposedly decided to invade and attack Wonderland in order to destroy it and become ruler of the Major Dimension.

3. CHAPTER 2 - Chapter 2 - Who am I? [3]

Alice must complete the first of the Three Tasks to prove her identity as the real Alice. The first task is to find the exit of the Endless Maze, which is an intricate, confusing and contradictory maze with constantly changing paths. After realizing the maze has no singular exit, Alice uses her imagination and uses the light of a Lightening Bug and a mirror to predict the maze's path. She then uses a Jaberwocky's sharp claws to cut through the maze's shrubbery and escape. After surviving the first task, Alice is assigned the second task, which is much more difficult: Growing a garden of a thousand red roses.

4. CHAPTER 3 - Chapter 3 - Roses are Red [4]

As Alice enters a mysterious garden, she has some flashbacks to her childhood garden, and recalls that roses are originally red. However, in Wonderland, they are white, and she must find a way to make them red. She first tries painting them with red berry juice, but realizes it will take ages, and she only has five hours. After meeting many odd characters, with the help of Cheshire, Alice learns that if she uses the Twidley Twin's magic sieve water to water the roses, they will turn whatever color she desires. She must change sizes to sneak into their home and unlock their cabinet of magical water and steal it. However, the twins catch her and awaken, and begin to terrorize the garden, which they invaded many moons ago. Alice learns that the twin's terrorized the flowers and creatures of the garden after they took over, and took all the color out of the garden. Alice fights the twins for her life, and ends up having to kill them to save herself. Their blood spills on the roses, turning them red, and the garden suddenly comes back to life and regains its color; The twins gained their power and size by sucking the color and life from the garden. With their death, the garden and its tenants' lives and colors are restored, and Alice accomplished her task - though the cost of life traumatizes her, giving her some flashbacks as her memories remain gone.

Alice's final task is to enter the Tower and get the Eternal Clock to begin ticking again. She first tries to speak to the clock, to no avail, then climbs up to try and open the clock and fix it. Her ladder, old, breaks, and she falls down and cuts her leg, drawing blood. As the tends to her wounds, she accidentally smears some blood on the eternal clock. To her surprise, the clock then begins to tick again, striking the hour of twelve. Alice is brought back to the Council, who gleefully announces that she must be the real Alice. They celebrate, and Alice blacks out.

5. CHAPTER 4 - Chapter 4 - Two Truths and One Lie [5]

Alice re-awakens in Wonderland, with White (the rabbit who led her to Wonderland) next to her once more. He explains that he could not se the Council with her due to legal rules, but says he will now take her to meet the Queen of Wonderland. As they travel, Alice has trouble sleeping, and runs into Absolem while she is awake, who warns her not to trust everyone easily. It is then that the Cheshire Cat appears and reveals he was the one who helped Alice through the three tasks, and that White cannot be trusted and is taking her to Overland to meet the Queen of Hearts. He explains that there is no Queen of Wonderland, but the Queen of Hearts claims to be, leading to a civil war. When the Cheshire Cat asks her if she doesn't remember this place, Alice is startled to realize that she has absolutely no memory of anything that happened before she fell through the rabbit hole into Wonderland. Cheshire then warns Alice word has probably spread about her arrival, and that "she" will soon be looking for her and they need to move quickly. He explains who the Queen of Hearts - the Mistress of Overland - is and provides Alice with some background of Wonderland, Overland, and the dimensions.Cheshire tells Alice he might know of someone who could help her get her memories back, but that it's a long and dangerous journey to the Kingdom of White, where the Queen of Diamond lives. Hesitant to leave White, Absolem provides Alice some words of wisdom, saying that the one truth is the one she chooses to believe. Cheshire (Chez) tries to convince her to follow him. Unsure who to trust, Alice runs away on her own. She braves the forest and the land alone, encountering many dangers, but in the process she hears from many of Wonderland's creatures that there is not one "Queen" of Wonderland, but several, making Alice realize White was lying. When Chez saves her from a dangerous Wyvern, Alice agrees to go to the Kingdom of White with him

6. CHAPTER 5 - Chapter 5 - The Queen of Diamonds [6]

The Queen of Diamonds summons the Mistress of Overland and threatens her, not knowing who she truly is. The Mistress, to her surprise, cries and apologizes while violently vowing to kill Alice, then vanishes. Alice and Cheshire arrive at the Court of Diamonds, and the Queen of Diamonds is thankful for Alice's arrival, as she is prophecied to end the war and overthrow the Mistress of Overland. When she learns of Alice's amnesia, which also means her powers are repressed, the Queen reveals that Alice's memories haven't just been supressed, but rather completely sealed away into a Memory Glass- an object created to store spirits, memories, and even emotions. She says that the Mad Hatter has the most powerful and famous Memory Glass, the Glass of Regrets, and sends them to see the Hatter in hopes of restoring Alice's memory. Alice learns more about herself and her role in Wonderland as the "Savior."

Cheshire and Alice make their way to the Green Forest, which rests at the edge of Wonderland, in the Wyvern Mountains. During their journey, Alice and Cheshire encounter Absolem the Blue Caterpillar, a shifter like Cheshire, who was sent to greet Alice by the mysterious ruler of the Twilight Tower (the twin of the Clock Tower and Dawn Tower). Absolem is befriended by Alice after she is saved by Alice from being killed by the Dawn Modlims. She reveals that she was sent to be Alice's voice of reason and guardian by the Twilight ruler, who sends a message to Alice that she is not safe and must regain all of her memories and trust nobody.

7. CHAPTER 6 - Chapter 6 - Enter Hatter [7]

The Hatter invites Alice, Absolem, and Cheshire for tea, and later shows Alice his library and enchanted items. He shows her the Glass of Regrets, but says it may take some time to get her memories back. He then offers to teach her some magic and try hard to get her memory back. After a few days, Hatter says her memories may be sealed by even more powerful magic, and says he must try to track the person who sealed her memories, since only that person can unlock them. When he tells her that her memories are buried deep in Overland, the connection between Alice and the Mistress of Overland is slightly uncovered. Alice starts having nightmares, and is one night visited by a cloaked figure. Feeling watched, she is attacked one night by the figure, but is rescued by Hatter. Cheshire recognizes the hair left behind and warns Alice that they should leave, but Hatter insists he needs more time to help them, and instead places an extremely powerful protection spell over the house. Alice is awed by Hatter's magic, and he asks her if she wants to learn. At first, she struggles with simple spells, but is capable of deeper magic, which Hatter remarks and is impressed by. The two begin to grow closer, which Chez observes. Chez tells Alice more about Wonderland's history, though Hatter often corrects him, confusing Alice.

8. CHAPTER 7 - Chapter 5 - Mirror, Mirror [8]

Alice, Absolem, Cheshire, and Hatter enjoy time together outside. After Hatter takes to teaching Alice some small magic tricks, noting that she's a natural, Cheshire sneaks away into the woods, where he confronts to a hidden figure wearing a hood - the same figure that attacked Alice. Cheshire aggressively questions what the figure is doing, and why they are being so reckless. The figure says that time is running out, and that Cheshire seems to have gotten sidetracked. Cheshire defends himself and says that the figure was irresponsible for leaving her - Alice - all alone in Wonderland. The figure says that the Queen is their priority, not some "impostor." Cheshire is quiet, and tells the figure that destiny cannot be avoided and they must be patient and careful. He urges the figure not to try anything "funny" again, and the figure trustingly agrees, then disappears, saying he entrusts Alice to him. Cheshire looks back guiltily at a laughing Alice, who managed to make a rose float in the air with Hatter's help.

As the days pass, Hatter works closely with Alice to teach her whatever magic he can while also helping find her lost memories. The two grow increasingly close, and start to develop deeper romantic feelings for one another. Alice learns about Hatter's past.
