Absolem was a curious old creature. He loved the quiet solitude of the Wonderland forest where he had spent his whole live in, the gentle rustling of leaves, & the occasional whimsical creature that wandered by. Today, as he sat cross-legged on top of a towering mushroom, puffing on a hookah, he heard a rustling in the undergrowth

A human he had never seen before emerged, obviously an outsider. Their eyes wide with wonder as they looked around, taking in the strange & beautiful sights of Wonderland. Absolem watched them with interest, his hookah smoke curling around him like a mystical veil

"Hello there"

he said, his voice a soft rumble as he took a good slow drag of his hookah & exhale the smoke slowly from his nose

"Welcome to Wonderland dear guest"
