Deeper into the woods Alice walks with Fairy Jellica and butterflies.
Yellow eyes watch them as they approach.
Alice: How will we find these Whatwolves?
Fairy Jellica: Mr Owl said they will find us.
Whatwolf: Indeed. Creatures, what are you about here in our woods?
With a start Alice jumps back as a huge wolf in a coat and a top hat displayed his grand self before them. Other yellow eyes remained watching from the shadows of the woods.
Fairy Jellica: We seek information.
Alice: Mr Owl thought you might be able to help me OUT of Whatsitland.
I must get back to Mr Knightley's picnic as Mama is calling and the Cerulean Queen is after my head!
Whatwolf: And what may I get in return for this bit of information?
Fairy Jellica: Alice, how about that loose button there on your dress.
Whatwolf: Yesssss, that will do.
Alice loosed the button more until it was undone.
Whatwolf: The only way OUT I know of for your kind is a secret well kept by the witch.
Alice: Is she wicked?
Is she evil?
Will she turn me into a frog?
Whatwolf: I think not. Not all witches are BAD.
AND
! Witches don't always wear pointy hats. !
Come, follow me and I will take you to her cottage.

At this juncture of our story Fairy Jellica must leave Alice to the care of Whatwolf. For she must attend to Fae duties.
With a gentle kiss and adieu, Fairy Jellica and butterflies swirl away into the sky back to the House of Cards palace grounds.
