Fractured Fairy Tails: Return to Wonderland

by Unknown Tale


Two - The Red Griffon

Twilight Sparkle peered through the bench to see Gilda. "Who in Equestria is that...?" she asked herself.

"Shh...!" Rainbow Dash replied, quieting Twilight.

"The Wandering Knight, speak her name!" Gilda requested.

"Colgate," Rarity replied.

"No way," Twilight mouthed.

Gilda yawned. "Could it be something cool like Minuette or Silver? Maybe Midnight?"

"Nope, just Colgate."

Gilda sighed. "What else do you want to know?" Rainbow Dash then ran to Gilda.

Rarity ran over to Rainbow and said, "What the hay are you doing here? Go find that Rabbit and Knight." Rainbow Dash flew off. "Tell me, Red Griffon... tell me about our strategy."

"I can't do that right now, somepony is watching," Gilda replied. Twilight Sparkle turned around. "Listening."

Twilight teleported to Rarity. "I'm not a spy, just a traveler known as Twilight Sparkle."

"You could be an Alice," Gilda taunted.

"ALICE?" Twilight repeated. Rarity put a hoof in Twilight's mouth.

"We'll talk more about that at another time Ms. Sparkle. Now, Gilda, please have no further interruptions, I need to know more about our enemy."

"They have the fearsome... JABBERWOCKY." Rarity gasped and took her hoof off Twilight.

"What's a Jabberwocky?" Twilight asked.

Gilda turned to Twilight and said, "Cheshire Dash usually recites the first lines, but I know the Jabberwocky has fangs that bite and CLAWS THAT CATCH. He lives in the Tulgey Woods and hides in every known area. That terrible Jabberwocky causes nothing but trouble in that part of Wonderland. They say when you get through those woods and past the Jabberwocky, you'll be back in the Hall of Doors. But, I digress. The Jabberwocky is known to show up when you don't even notice like the Jub Jub and the Bandersnatch. They too live in the same area. I don't know what's stronger in that woodland area. I'll keep checking."

Twilight stood silent for a moment. "Is there any known way to defeat the Jabberwocky?"

"Can't tell, the poem wasn't finished. It could be anything." Twilight facehoofed. "That didn't solve any questions. All I can think of is a simple blade, but what?"

Rarity then said, "Before you go, please introduce yourself to Ms. Sparkle."

Gilda then said, "I am the Red Griffon, you can call on me anytime, BUT IT BETTER NOT BE A STUPID QUESTION LIKE WHY CAN'T I DIVIDE BY ZERO. Now if you two excuse me, I gotta finish reading a book." She dived back into the water and mysteriously vanished.

"Twilight, you are free to roam this area, but don't go too far," Rarity said.

"Yes, your majesty," Twilight replied. She walked off down the pathway.
