[PP-F25] Alice is Lost

[Mari 1]

Tumbling, twirling, whirling and falling….

Down…

Down…

Down…

 

“OOmph…”

Ceres landed unceremoniously with a thud on the ground. She sat up, rubbing her head. “Owww… what happened…” Another grumble as she stood, a little shaky from the constant spinning. Where was she? A glance around caused Ceres’ eyes to squint, it was bright….very bright. “Huh.” A tilt of her head as she stared up at….what was she looking at exactly?

It looked like a road that had twisted and twirled in the air above her, covered in obnoxiously bright colours of pink and yellow.

“Mista Tybalt?” Ceres called out, taking a few shaky steps forward. Did he actually somehow whisk her away to some kind of wonderland? The entire place felt like it was something out of Alice in Wonderland. Ceres felt two emotions fighting within her, amazement - that something like this existed in Aincrad, and that he was able to pull her here. Then…concern, where was he? Why was she alone? Ceres was used to being alone. She spent most, if not all her time in Aincrad alone.

What did he say? Something about being his Alice?

“Oh!” Ceres clasped her hands together in delighted realization. This was a quest, right? All she had to do…was find the right rabbit. Easy! Ceres glanced down at the floor. A yellow brick road. A toe tapped the brick. “I could follow the yellow brick road…” She mumbled. “But…that’s the wrong movie so…” A spin on her heel as she turned round and went the opposite direction, where the spiralled road turned into a obtuse red colour.

“Where, oh where are you, little white rabbit?” Ceres would call out, even going as far as to pull out a carrot from her inventory, waving it in the air. “I have a juicy carrot for you.”
