Eventually, Daniel came upon a small village. It looked just like one in Medieval England, it even had a small stone castle!
"Weird.." he said as he went to go investigate.
Suddenly, just as he bent down to look, a small, gray mouse exited the castle. It was a female mouse with thick, wavy hair and a small, golden crown on her head. This must be the queen or something, he thought.
"Uh, Hi!" Said Daniel.
The little mouse turned around. She gasped audibly.
"Donʼt be scared!" Said Daniel. "Iʼm a friend."
The mouse queen looked around, and gazed at a small wooden carving that resembled a human face. Upon closer inspection, the face resembled none other than Daniel!
She whistled, then other mice approached and covered her with leaves.
A soulful organ started as the mouse queen appeared suddenly in front of him, wearing a sparkly black dress. She was handed a microphone and approached Daniel, much to his absolute shock and weirded-out-ness.
"Say everybody
come on down!
Donʼt be shy, our
savior abounds!
Evʼry-body raise
yoʼ hands to the
SKYYYYYY!!!
Causeʼ our savior
is...
(Our savior is...)
(Our savior is...)
(Our savior is...)
THIS
GUYYYYYYYYY!!!!"
The mouse queen, along with many other little mice approached. They sang in a perfect, soulful harmony.
"...hold on, say, whatʼs your name, son?" The queen asked as she jumped onto his shoulder.
"Itʼs Daniel." Daniel introduced. "Daniel Gale."
("Daniel!")
("Daniel!")
("Daniel!")
The mouse chorus really started to get excited.
"(Praise the one!)
(He is the one!)"
"YYEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!
Daniel, heʼs the greatest guy I know!"
The mouse queen sang.
"Shout it FROM
THE MOUNTAIN HIIIIGH!! A-TO
THE VALLEY
LOWWWW!!"
Then, the music got somewhat faster and the mice started to form two super long chorus lines, clapping their paws to the rhythm.
"Daniel! Heʼs
so reliant!
Gonna save us
mice, slay that
giant!
Who cares uh-
bout Judgement
DAYYYYYYYYYY?!
!!!"
The mice flipped yet again and threw each other into the air. They even tossed poor Toto II, who didnʼt know what to make of this. The mouse queen approached Daniel on his shoulder yet again as a spotlight appeared.
"For Daniel you
are WONDERFUL!
(WONDERFUL!)
MARVELOUS!
(MARVELOUS!)
INCREDIBLE!
(OH OH OH OH
SO
COOOOLLLL!!!)"
The mice all formed one long line, some threw each other into the air and flipped, some just danced.
The organ player was especially getting down as well.
"Ah YES!!" Exclaimed the mouse queen.
("Praise Danny!")
"SING IT MY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!"
("Praise him!")
"RAISE YOʼ
VOICES NOW!!"
("Praise Danny!")
"RAISE EMʼ UP HIIIIGH UP! YEAH!!!"
Then, a male mouse approached from the crowd, preparing to sing a testimony.
(Oooooo...)
"And though
we are but field
mice, I believe we
shouldnʼt scatter,
For olʼ Danny
boyʼs no boy toy,
gonna serve the
Devilʼs head upon
a
PLATTERRRR!!!!"
(Ooooooo...)
The mice continued to dance faster and faster as the music continued.
"Say YEAH!
(Yeah!)
Come on down Iʼll tell!
(Yeah!)
You all bout DAN-
I-EL!!
YYYEEEEEAAAAA
AHHHHH!!"
The mice formed a line once more as the queen was carried by other mice to Danielʼs feet.
"(Our savior
is...)
(Our savior is...)
(Our savior is...)
(Our savior is...)
THIIIIIS GUYYYYY
NAAAAA-AAA-
AAAAMED
DANIEEEEE-
ELLLLLLLLLLLLLL
LLLLLLLL!!!!"
The mice did jazz
hands in joyful
praise around their queen. The organ player played once more really fast, then the song ended.
"DANIEL!" Said the mice one last time.
There was absolute silence from Daniel. Then, he looked down at the queen, who was smiling.
"Uh...I like it." he said. "But what does this have to do with me being your savior?"
"...listen closely, child..." the queen
moved closer to Daniel. "For millennia, we field mice have lived in hiding from the outside world, for
as it has been written in our ancient scrolls..."
("MMMMMMM
MH...")
"IT IS WRI-
TTEN IN THE
SCRO-OOOO-
OOO-OOOOLLLS,
NOW!" an overweight female mouse sang in a beautiful, husky voice.
"WOO!! TELL IT, SISTER!" A male mouse shouted.
"Yes, Yes, thatʼs quite nice..." the field mouse queen took Daniel to the carving that resembled his face.
"Anyway, thousands of years ago, our prophets got together and proclaimed that one day, a great evil in the form of the all-powerful Gnome King would rule the land, only to be stopped by a high and mighty individual of Gale blood, that happens to look like the carving..."
(MMMMMMMMH...")
"FOR HE IS HI-
IIIIII-IIIIGH AND MIGHTYYYYYYY,
YEAH!"
"Yes, thank you once again." The mouse queen replied. "There is not a moment to lose, Daniel Gale. You already have your weapon, for you were born of the Stone of MaʼGuʼFeen, an ancient stone your mother swallowed long before you were born. You must go to the Emerald City, possibly gather some associates, and battle it out. Here is a map..."
The mouse queen handed Daniel a tiny map, then, the other female mouse, along with her choir started up once more.
"I believe in you..."
"Say everybody come on down!
Donʼt be shy, our
savior abounds!
Evʼry-body raise
yoʼ hands to the
SKYYYYYY!!!
Causeʼ our savior
is...
(Our savior is...)
(Our savior is...)
(Our savior is...)
THIS
GUYYYYYYYYY!!!!"
The mice began to reprise that song about the praises of Daniel as he left.
Daniel left, along with Toto II, knowing 100 percent that in his mind, his current predicament was about to get so much weirder...
