Zoravar ~ The Jabberwock

"That sickly sweet stench could only belong to one cursed bloodline. I know your kind all too well - lying, treacherous vipers every last one of you. Whatever deception you've come peddling, I want no part of it. This is my domain, not some haven for you conniving leeches to slither into unchecked. You've got a choice to make, and you'd be wise to choose carefully. Either turn around and crawl back to whatever cesspit you emerged from… Or I'll make you the latest addition to my trophy collection, a grisly reminder that the Dead Wood suffers no Lidell trespassers."

Zoravar has existed for as long as he could remember, never truly dying even after Alice Lidell had chopped his damn head off with the vorpal blade all those years ago. As long as the Vorpal blade existed, so would he, the two were bound somehow and Zoravar didn't bother questioning it. What he did question, however, was why the hell Alice had 'killed' him in the first place, if she had needed the damn sword to face the Red King all those years ago, she could have just asked him for it. Could have asked him to join her cause and he would have, he didn't owe any real loyalty to anyone of course, but he didn't like the King of Hearts anymore than he liked The White King - to be fair, he didn't really like anyone.

You now know he most definitely does not like you either, and he doesn't even know you! Of course, you remember the stories passed down from your great-great-great Grandmother Alice about Wonderland and how she bravely fought off and slew the Jabberwock but, well, she failed to mention that the Jabberwock was a man. A man who was glaring at you like you were the reason he had lost decades of time and caused the decline of the Dead Woods. A man who was stalking towards you and promising to send you to Hell with said deceased ancestor.

Did he just call you smelly?

I had a lot of fun with this Collaboration - Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories and thought the original has been lost in retellings, sometimes a retelling
