PART TWO of The Looking Glass Wars ¨ Alice rips up her drawings of Wonderland and decides to be a normal, respectable girl, the kind of girl her mother wants her to be. ¨ She sees Queen Genevieve in the mirror, telling her not to forget who she is. Alyss ignores it. ¨ She never talks to Charles Dodgson again. ¨ She grows into a beautiful woman. Men adore her. ¨ She is very intelligent and concerned with the lives of the people around her, especially the poor. ¨ She meets the Queen’s youngest son, Leopold. ¨ He immediately falls in love with her, but she doesn’t love him; she is still in love with Dodge, though she refuses to think his name. ¨ After years and years of searching, Hatter Madigan finds Alice in Wonderland, then finds Charles Dodgson, who tells him that Alice is at the Palace. ¨ When Hatter tries to enter the Palace, he is shot and chased down the street. ¨ He finds a puddle and returns to Wonderland. ¨ He meets Dodge, who is now a strong, handsome man, and has spent his entire life trying to overthrow Redd. ¨ Dodge is courageous and fearless, risking his life whenever possible. He always takes the most dangerous and important missions. ¨ Dodge takes Hatter back to their camp so he can recover and then jumps in the Pool of Tears so he can find Alyss. ¨ Her Imperial Viciousness is livid when she hears from Jack of Diamonds that Hatter Madigan is back in Wonderland and Alyss is still alive. ¨ After she kills The Cat, she tells him to take some Card Soldiers, jump in the Pool of Tears, and bring back Alyss’ head. If he doesn’t, he will slowly and painfully lose all of his deaths. ¨ Alyss agrees to marry Prince Leopold; after all, Dodge probably doesn’t even exist, and if he does, she won’t ever see him again. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Symbol; color: rgb(152, 72, 6);">¨ She and the Prince have a masquerade.
