For Madness, Comes a Price

Wonderland's Tale

Previous Chapter

Before Solitaire had even came to the existence of Wonderland. Wonderland didn't exist. Instead, Wonderland was made up of three kingdoms. I, Cresent, the ruler of the Heart Kingdom was ruling with another. The one I called my special somepony, my husband Corrupted Darkflame, a handsome midnight grey pony with deep red striped mane and tail. He was a mighty powerful Pegasus who well, liked to research and play mind games with the neighboring kingdoms. You see, wonderland had not become wonderland since it was at war with Cardell in the Madness region and the Spadians, in the spade and club region.

I could never really tell why they couldn't pick a better region name but that's just how they were.

The Madness region used to be a big and I would not lie, they were a Mafia country all sorts of villains and nastiness happened there. The Club and Spade's however, they were a quiet and peaceful kingdom, always relying on their many friend's across regions. By friends I mean spies.

Now my kingdom was strong and powerful, we relied on knowledge and magic. We didn't have many threats but when it came to them we found our way around, lies, secrets, blackmail... you name them. Hardly anyone could be trusted and everyone knew that.

The reason we were all at war was because the Mad Hatter had declared that our countries should join and be ruled under one leader. He wasn't brought and raised under the madness land. No one knew where he had come from but he made himself very know on how much power and how much he knew how to stir our countries into pure chaos. He announced a meeting for him and the three leaders to discuss this matter as a tea party at the border and center of wonderland. Though it didn't go according to plan, Our "tea party" was used as an assassination event killing one of the club and heart leaders and the madness big boss.

We were all shocked, all except the Mad Hatter who was giggling insanely at the whole event. This Mad Hatter was Solitaire's Great Grandfather who we call the Mad Joker. He was the only Stallion that forced us to create the peace treaty and Join the kingdoms otherwise his power would cause the whole world to burn to ashes. It was only 3 years later that chaos stirred up again once another meeting was put into place for the King of Wonderland.

Where I had become a dangerous soulless creature by my own husbands and the Mad Jokers hands. They had secretly came up with a plan for me to kill or go on a killing spree to murder the rest of the leaders, in which they had succeeded. Corrupted Darkflame had became King of all wonderland and had me and the Mad Joker right in his hooves. I had no sense of mind, but I know I was locked up in chains. I was not an alicorn when I was queen. I was a regal and once beautiful unicorn. Alicorn's were classed as monsters and dangerous creatures that would eat and tear at the flesh of any pony or stallion that would cross their path.

It had come to them that i was a great asset to their devious plan, though i thought otherwise. My main objective was to be free and cause eternal chaos throughout the regions and perhaps the world.

The Mad Joker had soon found himself a mate, though the relationship was terrible in many eyes who were not criminals, Corrupted on the other hand was soon finding himself driven to madness, causing the countries to wager war on each other. They were blind of my rising power as i was hidden away in the throne room, just under the throne itself. I was growing hungry for the power and flesh of the creature that made me this way, it was my main plan.

It was fortunate that the guards had left my cage open one night and i slipped out grabbing the horses in my power feeding on their flesh to gain more of my strength before moving onto the main course, i was the one who caused Darkflame to go into complete madness, I stripped him of his power and every memory except where he had transformed me, i etched it into his mind completely. What evil creature would i be if i didn't let my prey suffer?

The Mad Joker ended up getting himself killed from his adventures leaving his wife and his own son, Solitaire's father ,Baticuron, to fend for themselves. I clearly shown my power and drove the land back into chaos, feeding off the power of gifted unicorns until Allicen arrived, I couldn't do anything to her. Baticurion had done something to keep me from harming her they were the ones who sealed me into Allicen's Purifying vase. It had kept me there for many years only to slowly crumble into pieces not long after Solitaire was born, I was becoming a threat to Wonderland again. Of course Baticurion had tried several attempts to keep me in chains or remain me into the vase but it wasn't happening. He then resorted to imprisoning me into Allicen's body but the spell rejected it forcing him to seal me into Solitaire. Each time she hit her birthday my attacks had grew more and more viscous on people, No matter how Purple mare tried she could not contain me to her limits. I would have always found a way out to control her, resulting in her mothers murder.


"ENOUGH!!" Solitaire cried out "I do not want to speak of this, that memory, that nightmare.... should not be spoken of"

A sudden silence entered the room as Solitaire panted, sweating from the endurance of Cresent's appearance out of her body. Her violet hooves digging into the fabric.
"My... Mother was murdered by Cresent, My father grew to hate me and lock me in the castle and away from people Until my dad came to me drunk, trying to kill me with a knife. I was the one to escape the palace and forcing my dad to banish me, Now here i am"

Cresent looked at Solitaire and chuckled "Seems I hit a delicate spot then... shame though."

"You're mocking me again Cresent... I don't want to force you back in the prison again, i'm not going through the pain of that again, so either you seal yourself away or just make it hard for yourself i suggest you stop speaking"

"Well Solitaire you certainly snapped dead easily, fine..." Cresent replied
