Back at the castle, the fighting had ceased, at least for the moment. Everyone had a confused look on their face when they saw I was returning alone.
"Oh, where's everyone else? Worry not, my friends, everything will be explained soon. But right now, I have a job for you all."
Both the rebels and the Hearts soldiers eyed me curiously.
"I need you all to rally the towns people. Tell them there's going to be a major announcement about the future of Wonderland right at the front gates of the castle."
The soldiers began talking among themselves.
"And uh, what's dis announcement gonna be about?" One managed to ask.
I smirked, "Patience, child. All will be known in due time. Which means the faster you get all the townspeople here, the faster you'll hear the news."
I heard a few people cheer, surprisingly, and head off. Soon I was the only one left near the castle. With a silly smile on my face, I turned my head towards the forest, wondering when Jubiah and Miranda would show up with the good news, and more importantly, with my cane.
But through the corner of my eye, I could just barely make out an old man carrying the lifeless body of a woman in all white.
