This story is in the world of Geronimo Stilton. So everyone is a mouse

There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. No fear or pain for the Queen at least. Queen Kabra punishes her people unfairly.

Queen Kabra

If you drop a slight piece of a candy wrapper 2 miles away from her castle, you will have a line burned on your arm. That also happens if you talk when you’re still chewing. There are many more rules. She has guards all over the place to watch you. The only place with absolute privacy is the bathrooms. But you can’t even be sure of that either… Once you get 10 burns you will be executed painfully. The Kingdom of Misery has a large population, but we are still losing citizens rapidly. I just hope someone will save us from out misery…

Boom! The speaker always scared everyone. It made that sound to make sure we pay attention. I expected Queen Kabra to go on about how she expects us to be miserable and to not break the rules or else. But I was surprised when it wasn’t the Queen who squeaked, “Queen K-Kabra is out of town. A-And I-I n-need all the c-citizens of the K-Kingdom of M-Misery to come to the c-castle at o-once.”

I wondered why the voice was so nervous and shakey. But anouncements on the speaker were always important and were expected to be obeyed. I hurried over to the castle and saw others doing so too. When I arrived, I saw a mouse I’ve never seen before. He wasn’t the Queen’s guards, I’m sure, what he wore was differend. He was wearing shiny gold and silver chainmail armor with a sword strapped into his belt. He had on a gleaming helmet with a orange feather in it. But with his glasses on his snout, he looked more like a professor than a fighter. I wondered what he was doing here.

“I h-have come to tell you about my q-quest,” he stammered, he looked so nervous he looked like he was going to pee his pants!, “a-and my name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton.”

Geronimo Stilton

“The knight that saved the Fairy Princess and Sterling?” someone shouted.

“Um…Yeah…And my q-quest is that I-I-I a-am,” he cleared his throat, “I am going to save you from your misery while Queen Kabra is out of the Kingdom.”

There was a lot of applause. When it died down the mouse continued, “I am going to the C-Cave of Fear, to retreive a half of a ruby heart that w-will reverse this place and make it The Kingdom of Happiness instead of Misery. But I also have to go to the Waterfall of Pain, which has the other half of the ruby heart. And I am letting you know so that y-you can assist me any way you c-can.”

Half Rubie Hearts

There were lots of cheering and shouts.

“Th-Thank you for listening.” He scurried away and reappeared at the bottom, “Well, my journey starts! Where can I find some horses?”

3 Days later
The Queen has already returned a day ago, but people were still cheerful as they walked around carrying out their daily routines. We were confident that Geronimo will get the job done!

Crash! The sound echoed from not very far away. I turned and saw Geronimo hurdling towards me! I dodged just in time for him to fall right on his snout onto the ground. This must happen a lot in Geronimo’s life since he simply picked himself up, blushed, and hurried to the castle. Curious, many followed him.

After we came 2 miles from Queen Kabra’s magnificent castle, we hid behind bushes in case Queen Kabra were to punish us. I was on my 9th line. One more, and I’m dead. So I climbed a tree and concealed myself behind the leaves and peeked out.

Geronimo hesitated at the door…and hesitated…and hesitated some more…until finally…he hesitated a bit more and thatwas when he called for the Queen and waited. The Queen sat on a gold coloured throne being carried by 5 men.

“For what reason have you called me?”

“See Your Highness,” he didn’t finish the sentence. He touched the half hearts to the Queen’s heart.

Suddenly Queen Kabra did something we have never seen her do before. We didn’t know she was even able to do this. She smiled. A happy, pleasant, non-fake smile. She beamed at all of us and then all our sadness just faded away into nothing. We didn’t know what sadness was. Everything was awesome! The Queen happily anounced the new changes for the Kingdom. This will be The Kingdom of Misery no longer. Instead it will be The Kingdom of Happiness!

Something brushed up against my foot. I looked down slowly, expecting to see some sort of spider, but it wasn’t. Nothing like that.
It was a hairy…thing. I don’t even know how to describe it. It stared at me with it’s tiny black dots of eyes. He was blue and slimy, I noticed that he left a blue stain on the sidewalk. It had been following me. Then I noticed the tongue, it looked just a human tongue, but imagine that the tongue had been licking a blue lolipop with hairy sprinkles on it. THAT was what it looked like. It was just bobbing and weaving inside the body, I could barely see it behind all that hair.
I screamed and shoved my boot into it’s mouth and it flew backwards and crashed into a red fire hydrant where a dog was ah, taking a little wee. Surprisingly I didn’t hear a dog barking and growling or possibly whimpering and screaming. But I heard nothing. I looked and saw the dog peeing on the alien and it just dripped all around the alien onto the floor. And the dog turned to sniff it or something, but saw nothing unusual. A mom and a little kid came and the kid said, “Mom look! There’s blue paint on the floor!” Then they walked past the blue blob without even a second glance. Why can’t they see the blue guy? I wondered. Before I could take a picture to you know, show people, a guy crashed into me, and mumbled sorry. He had dark long hair, but not that long. And he wore a orange T-Shirt. When the boy got near the blue alien the thing changed. It became a huge hairy blue gorilla 3 eyed thing. The guy clicked a pen and the pen expanded into a sword. He raised his hand and the drinking fountain exploded. The water swirled to him and he blasted the gorilla thing in it’s eyes and bouth. Then he leaped onto the wave and as fast as lightning he used his sword and sliced the blue thing to golden dust, which blew away in the wind. And into my eyes. “Ahh!! My eyes!”
The boy looked at me and said, “It’s just sand.” then he looked like he was thinking really hard, “It uh..Must have came from the beach.”
“No it isn’t! It’s like a blue alien sliced into a million teeny tiny pieces!!”
“Yeah, chased like 20 of those little guys here. Wait, you saw that?”
“Well duh, pretty hard to miss. And last I checked, swords were illegal here.”
“This is bad.” he started muttering things I couldn’t quite catch, stuff that sounded like, Big Three, the prophecy, gotta make a plan.”
“I know right? Aliens are coming!”
“No, it’s not that,” he said, “where are your parents?”
“Dude, why do you care? And it’s parent. Singular.”
“Whoa that’s bad, you’d better come with me.”
“No dude, I know about kidnapping and you look like a kidnapper with that sword and shield.”
“Well trust me, I’m not a kidnapper.”
I raised an eyebrow.
“Okay what am I supposed to do? What’s your name anyway?”
“Your name first.”
“Sheesh, fine, Percy Jackson.”
“Like the book? And it’s Claire.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t read.”
“I know about you, you’re dyslexic and ADHD.”
He looked really surprised, “Do you uh, know that you’re a you know, demigod?”
“I am??”
“Might.”
“I wish I could be one.”
“You’re weird, being a demigod is dangerous, and how do you know what that is?”
“I read.”
“Hmm…You’re not dyslexic. You should get to camp. Would you’re uh, mom or dad mind if you’re gone?”
“Course not, they don’t even pay attention to me, and it’s my mom.”
He looked alarmed, “Oh no. Okay come on we need to get you to camp fast.”
“Why are we in a hurry?” we started running.
“Prophecy, Big Three, you might be one of them, powerful, know who you are, monsters.”
“Oh okay, good explanation.”
“Sorry, we’ll explain everything come on!” we ran until there were a lot of trees, the trees got taller and taller. We came to a tall pine tree.
“Thalia’s tree right?”
“How do you know?”
“I read.”
“This is in a book?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s impossible!”
“Well it is.”
“Uh come on!” he lead me into a sort of camp. There was a lava wall, spewing boulders and lava and shaking. Like 50 cabins were lined up around in a U and there was a big house in the corner.
“The Big House.”
“What? How do you know all this? Oh right, you read.”
“Who’s this? A newcomer?” a guy came over. He was a human on the top, but he was a horse on the bottom. His tail swished back and forth.
“Yeah, this is Claire.”
“Chiron,” Percy interupted, “she somehow knows a lot about demigods, but not only that, she knows a lot about US, she knew I was ADHD and dyslexic and she knew about Thalia’s Tree. She says that she read it from a book.”
“Ahh,” he said, “Rick has been a spy after all, he is an author yes?”
“Yeah, Rick Riordan.”
“What? He’s the enemy?” Percy said.
“I’m afraid so.”
Percy looked panicked, “We are doomed!! He told the whole world or something about us!! Can monsters read?”
“Well even I don’t know this information. I didn’t know this information would be useful.” Chiron said as he scratched his beard.
Suddenly a girl burst into the clearing, she was big and wore a XXXL Camp Half-Blood T-Shirt, “HEY!! PRISSY!! Where’s Leo! I have to KILL HIM!!! HE PAINTED ALL OUR SWORDS PINK!!!
“Clarisse, please, calm down.” Chiron said, “We are having a conversation.” He told her what we were talking about.
“Hm…Well a newbie huh?”
“Yep,” I said.
“Too skinny to be an Ares kid, maybe you’re an Aphrodite kid?” she laughed.
“WHAT??? NO WAY!!”
“I mean look at you, a pink T-Shirt? And a necklace and bracelet? That’s all girly stuff.”
“IS NOT!!” suddenly I felt a weird feeling, like I was going to throw up, but instead of barf, it was wind. A blast of winter wind, but not from my mouth, but from around me. I remebered a long time ago, in 5th grade, we went on a field trip to a museum, when I went to the bathroom, I saw snakelike lady who tried to attack me. I remember how wind had pushed her backwards out of the bathroom. The teacher saw her trying to kill me and threatened to call the police. The weird lady disappeared into smoke. No one believed me when I said that she was half snake. It all made sense now. I was a huge fan of the Percy Jackson series, why hadn’t I realized? The winds blasted Clarisse into the toilets.
Chiron looked at me, “Well, I believe we know who your godly parent is.”
“Zeus, God of Lightning, Lord of Sky, and King of the Gods.”
