(derailed fairy tale)

Alice was extremely bored while sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: once or twice she peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations. “What’s the use of a book”, thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?” Suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

The girl noticed that the rabbit said to itself, “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!”. Thinking about it afterwards, Alice mentioned that she might be surprised by that, but at that moment it seemed quite natural. But when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, looked at it and then hurried on, Alice realized that she had never seen either a rabbit with a waistcoat-pocket or a watch to take out of it, so she started following that rabbit, burning with curiosity. She ran across the field after it and was just in time to see it pop down in a large rabbit hole.

In another moment, down Alice went after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again. Her falling was extremely long so she began to think that it wouldn’t finish. But suddenly she came down upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

Alice looked around her. The first thing she noticed was the violet sky. She had never seen anything like that earlier. The girl thought she had just hit her head, but even in the next few minutes the sky didn’t change its color.

“He-he-he, who are you, little girl?” suddenly said the voice from nowhere. “I’m sorry mister, but where are you? I don’t see you,” answered Alice. After thatm a big black cat with yellow eyes appeared on the nearest tree. “Oh, yes, where are my manners? Let me introduce myself. I’m Shadowcat. So, who are you? I’ve never seen you before.” “I’m Alice, a human child. You look so cute. I love black cats. Could you please explain to me where I am? I just followed a white rabbit, jumped into its hole and found myself here.” The girl was quite confused, but her new familiar seemed kind.

“He-he, little human girl, welcome to Raymoor — the city of an endless miracle. Our magic portal will show you all the gems of our sightseeing spiral, he-he…”
