"Whoa! So this is Main Street!" Grim exclaimed, looking at the path and statues in amazement.

"It's a nice path while heading to class." The girl said in agreement, before looking at the statues in curiosity. "Though these statues do look..."

"Scary." Grim finished, crossing his arms. "I didn't get a good look yesterday, but what's with them?"

"I don't know, but..." They looked familiar to the girl, although she pinpoint why they did.

"This granny looks especially snobby." Grim pointed at one specific statue.

"You don't know the Queen of Hearts?" Another voice asked, surprising the two.

"Queen of Hearts?" The girl tilted her head, now facing the newcomer. It was a student, with red spikey hair and a heart on his face.

"Is she important?" Grim asked.

"In the past she was the queen who lived in the Rose Maze." The newcomer explained. "She was someone who valued rules and discipline above all, strict in all things from the March of the Card Soldiers to the color of rose bushes."

"It was a land of madness where all submit to her rule." He said. "Why you ask? Because or else it was off with your head!"

"That's terrifying!" Grim cried.

"It's cool! I like it." The boy smiled. "Nobody would listen to a queen if she's nice all the time, right?"

"That's true..."

"But, a nice queen would have more willing to listen subjects." The girl thought out loud. "And while sometimes it's good to be strict, when does it draw the line to tyranny?"

"Like offing someone's head for a small mistake like a rose's color?"

"It's just how it was." The male said, almost baffled at the girl's words. "If she heard you say that it would be off with your head."

"Then that proves my point." She said firmly. "A queen doesn't have to be nice all the time, but if she's a tyrant or overly strict like that then it's only a matter of time before a revolution happens."

The two males looked at her in shock, causing her to realize what she said. "S-sorry, don't know what came over me."

"By the way..." Grim said, trying to move the conversation along. "Who're you?"

"I'm Ace, a fresh-faced first year. Nice to meet'cha." The newcomer replied.

"I'm Grim, a genius who'll become the greatest-" The girl nudged her foot at him, shutting him up. "Hey!"

"I'm (Y/n), basically the cleaning girl for now. It's very nice to meet you." She held out her hand to him, smiling. The male smiled back and shook it.

"You've got an odd sounding name."

"Ah...w-well I'm not from Twisted Wonderland. I'm foreign." She quickly said, making up what she hoped was a good excuse.

"Ah, cool."

"Hey, Ace." Grim called. "That lion over there, with the scar. Are they famous?"

"Of course!" Ace replied. "This is the King of Beasts, who ruled the savannahs."

"However, he was not born to be king. But he took the throne through effort and elaborate planning." He explained. "After becoming king, he even allowed the loathed hyenas to live in his kingdom without discrimination."

"Ooh!" Grim exclaimed. "He was a rock not held captive by his status!"

"That...doesn't seem right." The girl muttered, catching the two's attention. "I mean...lions and hyenas are natural enemies. And not to mention introducing hyenas where they weren't originated from could lead to the circle of life and ecosystem to crash."

"What do you mean by that?" Grim asked.

"Ah. Well everything has it's place when it comes to animal kingdoms. That's how the planet survives. It's like the hyenas are an invasive species, that'll wipe out the lion's main food source. The entire ecosystem would go in chaos, the circle of life won't recover until it's brought back to it's glory."

"Also..." She looked up at the statue. "I wonder, exactly what sort of planning did this king do? If it's overthrowing the previous king with malicious intent then that's not honorable..."

"I highly-"

"Who's that lady with the octopus legs?" Grim asked.

"Oh? That's the Sea Witch, who lived in a cavern in the deep sea." He said, eyes narrowed at the girl now. "Her purpose was to help all unfortunate merfolk."

"As long as you could pay the price, she could transform you, help you find love. Anything." He explained. "If it was within her power, there wasn't anything she couldn't do. They say her prices were pretty high though..."

"That's what it costs for 'anything', huh?" The girl asked, staring intensely at the octowoman. Her eyes were dulled, almost like she was in a trance.

"What? You gonna say something about her too?" Ace asked.

"Huh?" The girl blinked, regaining herself. "Oh sorry...I don't know what keeps coming over me."

"Just spit it out." He huffed.

"Well...I mean that could easily be used as an advantage for anything the witch wanted for herself." She explained. "Like, if she managed to manipulate someone into handing over a kingdom to her? I don't know...it just seems fishy to me."

"Ha!" Grim laughed. "Nice pun."

"Yeah..."

"What about the man in the big hat?" The cat monster asked.

"The Sorcerer of the Sand." Ace said. "He was a cunning vizier to a foolish sultan. And he saw through the fake prince, who was actually a street rat trying to deceive the princess."

"Deceive?..." The girl mumbled, eyes dulling once more. "No he wasn't...he was trying to win her heart, because he was in love..."

"You'd say something?"

"No." She immediately replied, sending hostility from the male. "Keep going, I'm listening."

"Well, he got a magic lamp basically and became the most powerful sorcerer of all!"

"Whoa!" Grim said in awe.

"They say he became sultan after that."

The girl didn't pay attention to the two, now looking at the statue next to the Sorcerer. "The Evil Queen..."

"Actually she's the Beautiful Queen." Ace corrected. "Everyday she checked the 'beauty ranking' in her magic mirror. And when it looked like she might fall from the number one spot, she never hesitated to do anything to get it back."

"Like kill her daughter."

"Huh? Why would you say that?" Ace chided. "Like the queen had a daughter."

"But-"

"What's with this guy on fire? Just looking at him gives me goosebumps." Grim shivered.

"The Lord of the Underworld!" Ace responded. "He ruled a land crawling with evil spirits on his own! No doubt he's extremely skilled!"

"Isn't he a god?" The girl asked. "He's supposed to rule over the dead, but be fair about it. Reward those who did good, and punish those who did heinous acts."

"It's a detestable job, but he did it without ever taking breaks." Ace continued, now ignoring the girl. "And his sincerity won over Cerberus, the hydra, even the titans, to fight for him."

"To take over Olympus that is..." The girl said, now glaring at the statue. "Even trying to kill Zeus's baby in fear of losing."

"What of the last one? With the horns?" Grim asked, now standing in front of that statue.

"That's-"

"Maleficent." The girl interrupted.

"Her title is the Witch of Thorns, she's from the Magic Mountains." Ace said. "Noble and elegant, even within the seven she's top class in magic and curses."

"She can summon lightning and storms. Cover an entire country in thorns. Her magic is on a whole other level!" Ace said. "There was even a time she transformed into a huge dragon!"

"Makes sense, considering she's a fairy." The girl replied quietly, crossing her arms. "Just not so good, placing a curse on an innocent baby and all."

"They're all so cool." Ace praised. "Unlike a certain tanuki."

"Eh?"

I think I'm just gonna leave notes at the end of every chapter. Probably ask a question and maybe have a vote depending on what happens

Anyway, I think I'll ask a question. Why? Because I want to fangirl over these bois with y'all (not because I'm too shy to become friends with people in the fandom, nooooo-).

So, who's you're favorite? And who's your least favorite?

Just want to see what y'alls taste is lmao

For me, I absolutely love Riddle. Don't know why, but he's just so cute I want to pinch his cheeks and kiss him. (It could be because *cough* he could step on me and put that collar on me *cough* BUT YOU DIDN'T HEAR THAT FROM ME-)

Least favorite? Honestly the only one I have a negative opinion on is Sebek. Idk why, he's just...annoying to me. Like dude, shut up about MalMal, pls

So yeah, I'll probably ask for who's your favorite for specific dorms when we get to the beginning of their respective parts.
