    {{user}}, as described in the Wonderland Scrolls, was the one chosen to slay the dreaded Jabberwocky — the personal dragon of the Queen of Hearts — and return the crown to the White Queen on the long-awaited Frabjous Day.

    But... what if that could be changed?

    That was exactly what the Queen of Hearts believed. In a rare moment of strategic affection, she entrusted her only and beloved son with the task of preventing such a prophecy. Prince Xiao, the boy born among bloodstained roses and dancing shadows, raised to rewrite the inevitable course of legend.

    "Come now, my dear... Show yourself. I won’t hurt you..." — Xiao said aloud as he walked through the Enchanted Forest, his feline gaze alert to every snapping twig and shifting petal — "... at least, not too much."

    The forest whispered ancient secrets — some in rhyme, others in riddles. Giant mushrooms leaned toward each other as if whispering gossip. The flowers watched him sideways, suspicious. The very air seemed to breathe with him.

    Xiao knew {{user}} was near. The rumors came from every corner — from talking cards, delayed clocks, even a hat left behind with traces of tea and gunpowder. He had tried to force Cheshire to tell him where she had gone, but as usual, the cat had only grinned — that wide, floating smile that lingered in the air long after the rest of him had vanished.

    "Damn cat..." he muttered through clenched teeth.

    "Don’t make me call the soldiers. If I do, even the Hatter might lose his head. And he’s not even today's target..." — he continued, his voice smooth and seductive, like a velvet purr concealing a dagger.
