**Chapter 6: A New Haven in Wonderland**

The next morning, the Jabberwocky gently woke Alice from her slumber, his deep voice rumbling like thunder as he said, "It's time to go, little one. We have a long journey ahead of us to reach the kingdom of Queen Miriana, the Queen of Diamonds." Alice stretched her tiny body and yawned, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after a good night's sleep. She climbed onto the Jabberwocky's back, and he spread his massive wings, taking to the skies. As they soared through the Tulgey Wood, Alice marveled at the breathtaking scenery below. The snow-covered trees sparkled like diamonds in the morning sun, and the air was crisp and clean. After a while, the Jabberwocky descended, and Alice saw a beautiful castle in the distance. The castle was made of crystal and shone like a beacon in the sunlight. As they approached the castle, Alice saw a elegant queen standing on the balcony, waving at them. The queen was tall and slender, with long, golden hair and piercing blue eyes. She wore a stunning diamond-encrusted gown, and her presence radiated kindness and warmth. "Welcome, Jabberwocky, and welcome, little Alice," the queen said, as they entered the castle. "I am Queen Miriana, the Queen of Diamonds. I am so glad you have arrived safely." She smiled at Alice and said, "I see you are quite tiny. But do not worry, I have just the thing to help you." Queen Miriana led them to a beautiful dining room, where a delicious-looking cake sat on a table. The cake was labeled "Eat Me," and Alice's eyes widened with excitement. Queen Miriana said, "This cake is special. It will restore your normal size." Alice took a bite of the cake, and instantly, she felt herself growing. She looked down and saw that her body was returning to its normal size. As she grew, Alice felt a mix of emotions. She was relieved to be back to her normal size, but she was also going to miss the unique experiences she had as a tiny person. She looked around at the beautiful castle and its inhabitants, feeling grateful for the kindness and hospitality they had shown her. Queen Miriana smiled and said, "I'm glad to see you're back to your normal size. Now, let me introduce you to some of my friends." A young boy with a mischievous grin and a top hat appeared, bowing low. "I am Tarrant Hightopp, but my friends call me the Mad Hatter," he said. Beside him stood a hare with a large smile on his face. "And this is Thackery Earwicket, the March Hare," the hare said, bowing low. A small, brave-looking mouse with a sword at his side stepped forward. "I am Mallymkun, the Dormouse," he said. "It's an honor to meet you, Alice." Alice was charmed by the group's warm welcomes and their eccentricities. As they chatted, Mallymkun leaned in and whispered to Alice, "I have a secret to share with you. The Bandersnatch that chased you yesterday? I was the one who took out its eye. I've been keeping it as a trophy." Alice's eyes widened in surprise, and she felt a sense of gratitude towards the brave mouse. The Jabberwocky, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and Mallymkun all seemed to be devoted to Queen Miriana, and Alice felt grateful to be in their company. She knew that she had found a new haven in Wonderland, and she was excited to see what adventures lay ahead.
