Alex would also have been given some memories of what he saw when he was killed, and the thing on the other side (Leobtav's god the so-called Ashsinger, etc). We're not done with Tollysalmon by any means either.Yeah, Alice's Cheshire Cat is referencing 'Cheshire' referring to someone grinning, but the origin is disputed. Cheshire refers to something from the county of Chester in England, and the cat grinning might be because so much cheese, milk, and cream was produced there. Also, in the early 1800s there was a bit of local folklore relating to poorly painted sign of a lion that looked more like a cat, or possibly cheese molded into the shape of a cat, with the cat's head being the last piece eaten (the Cheshire Cat in Alice always having its smile being the last part to vanish).My Cheshire Fiend is pretty much referencing that lingering smile, since the Cheshire Fiend just appears as an illusory smile without much else. And for them being Helekanalaith's child, I think I might have already mentioned that before once, but yes, the Cheshire Fiend is indeed his kid.</blockquote>
