Anyway, the community was a small fishing village, where I made my wealth with the taxing of the townsfolk (perhaps a little too much, I do admit now, regretfully). With this money, I had myself knighted, even though I never fought any battles. I lived this life in a sense of pride and entitlement until one fateful day---
On that day, a mysterious, old, traveling woman came through town selling her wares of magic. I wanting to have that magic for myself, but she, knowing I meant this for evil gain, spirited me away to Wonderland as punishment for my evil deeds. Upon coming into that land, I was made personal footman to the Red Queen, something that would have caused great pride, if I hadn't been turned into a sort of half-man, half-fish creature as further punishment.
The frog-footman, a distant relative of mine from somewhere, is my counterpart in service to the Duchess. I do not like him, as this stems from my past life with him in the land of Archelia, however I do not remember this life whatsoever. I only know that I hate him still but thankfully feel myself superior to him because of who I serve in comparison with his mistress.
See more of my crazy adventures and those of my friends starting next Thursday, 11/20 at the Bellview Grange's Theatre Convivio's production of "Alice in Wonderland".
