Heart of the Wonderland

In a distant memory I’ve shared with Alpheratz over the months we spent together, I let my consciousness merge with it once more.

This is the only way to save Alpheratz, its citizens, the land, and the memory of its existence. I must change the memory at the Heart of this realm.

Some time ago, Alpheratz showed me a vision of the realm's Heart. Its memory controls everything in this realm, and I have the power to alter it.

My memory of it is enough to show me the path I must follow. There is no need for my physical body; I need only my consciousness to be there.

My eyes shut as my consciousness slipped away from my body like the sudden blow of a whirlwind. It felt as if I were plucked from the comfort of my bed in the early morning—irritating and uncomfortable. Like a snail picked from its shell.
