Mousie's Big Adventure

As you all know, my name is I Am Mousie. Me familiar of Atira. She wonderful witch married to the Wizard Lucam. He big time wizard, and very proud of himself. He no longer student at mansion. Me call him Big Guy, and bite him on nose when he get too full of himself.

Mostly me live in Atira's room at Mansion. It really fun place and me love it here. There lot of other familiars here, but no other mice. There are lots of birds, cats--Ugggh--including that snooty Professor McPurr; she think cause she scribe for Atira she better than other familiars. Some are strange creatures like tall black and white bird called Wills, and the new ones, the Purple dragon called Royal, and his grey buddy, Sterling. I don't know what to make of them yet.

Like most familiars, me no need care from Big Guy or Atira, but they do provide me with lots of Tasty Cheese. Me love Cheese...Tasty Cheese, Blue Cheese, Swiss Cheese, Brie, Monterrey Jack, Port wine, Mozzarella....me could go on forever. But, mice not really live on cheese; Mousie also eat fruit and grain.

The other night me set out across the grounds to find grain. The short grass next to the mansion smelled sweet in the fresh spring air. The birdie on the roof chirped at me and called me "pretty boy." He look like Elese; she think me pretty too. These budgies think they are so smart, but me cute, not just pretty.

Me head north through the thorny brambles, and move carefully around the nothing at the center. Me like the feeling of the long grass rubbing my fur and I rustle through it. Me enter the apple orchard and enjoy the smell of the apples. Me nibble on one. Me like juicy apples too.

Me scamper across the sand. The sand under my feet tickles. Then me enter forest and enjoy smell of pine needless and the wonderful foresty smell. Much nicer than the muddy bog with dark murky puddles. Arachne Mardox wander by; she mansion ghost, but she no bother me and me avoid her.

Me enter another bog, see Ravell blackbird in bog, He no find wizard yet, looks lonely. Many times me find strange items in the world, baseball, big stick wood, mirror, all kinds of things. People lose so many items, they must be careless. Me find an area with bumpy sand and rocks. Me have fun sliding down rocks but hard to tell sand from spring frees; me slip onto it and it feels cold and wet. Me no like that feeling. Ick.

Some nights me go into the maze. Me no see why Atira finds it so difficult and slow; me just zip under brambles, but tonight me follow new path. Me see huge pavilion out on island in lake. It beautiful--marble tiles, all colors. Me start toward it to explore.

Suddenly me hear cry for help from tiny island. A beautiful brown mouse girl is huddled there crying. Me hop from tiny island to island. Me only fall in water once. Finally me get to her island.

She say her name Melissa. She no have wizard and she scared. A falcon familiar flies over, and she shreiks. She sees many big birds flying from mansion and she thinks they seek her for dinner. Me talk to her; tell her about mansion, about being a familiar. She like me, want to be my familiar. Me wonder if it possible for familiar to have familiar of its own.

Me tell her about Atira and her room, with wonderful cheese. Oh yes, and Big Guy too. She not sure, specially about Big Guy, but she scared to stay where she is. Me keep talking, and at last she agrees. She come home to mansion with me. Me write Madam Esmerelda to see if I can have familiar of my own; in the meantime Melissa live with me in Atira's room. We very happy. Me have good adventure and make new friend. She like tasty cheese too!

Me wonder how long it will take Madam Esmerelda to respond to me.
