History
The Boiling Sea is a location that Alice and Cyrus travel to, during one of their many adventures in Wonderland. They come to a halt at a cliff edge, where they are able to get a scenic view of the sea as the sun is in the horizon. One of the sea's main characteristics is the constant steam that rises from its sizzling waters. At the cliff edge, Cyrus proposes to Alice, and she happily accepts before he can finish his whole speech. This tender moment is cut short by the Red Queen, who orders her guards to seize the two lovers. While Alice is held down by the guards, Cyrus begins to get dragged away, but he breaks free to rescue her. The Red Queen quickly gains the upper hand by magically throwing Cyrus from the cliff edge and into the Boiling Sea to his death. Alice watches as her true love falls downwards and through a steam cloud, obscuring her from seeing him plunge into the scalding water, but she assumes the worst, which is that Cyrus died. In actuality, after Cyrus passes through the steam cloud, Jafar's flying carpet catches him in time before his body hits the sea water and then whisks him away. ("Down the Rabbit Hole")
