The Troublesome Royal Boat Trip

            This story took place in the time of the Vikings in a far away land unknown to most citizens of the world. It was called Odesse. There lived a royal family in a royal kingdom. The queen and king had a daughter named Lemon.

            One day, Lemon went out to sea because she had a love for marine life. She said she would be back in three days. The queen sent six servants after her beloved daughter to make sure she was safe.

            On the way, they met many dangers. They came face to face with a sea serpent who created giant waves to make their journey more difficult. The boat was swaying and shaking really badly.

            After a day had passed, they finally reached on island. It was a strange place, more for aliens than humans. Lemon and her servants were getting hungry and saw some flower petals. Some of her servants tried them first and started to lose their memories, so Lemon quickly went to her other servants to warn them, but it was too late. They were all so hungry that all of them had eaten the petals and become mindless, everyone except for the princess that is.

            Just at that moment, a Cyclops came and took all of them into his cave to be cooked and eaten. First, the Cyclops ate two of Lemon’s servants. Now it was all up to Lemon to save everyone. Then Lemon had a fantastic idea. She tied the Cyclops’ ear around its eye and escaped out of the cave with the rest of her servants. They got into the Cyclops’ boat and rowed away. The Cyclops never got them because he didn’t know how to untie knots. That’s why he didn’t wear laced shoes.

            On the way home, Lemon told her servants where they were going and they turned back to normal. The way home wasn’t easy either. The princess got hypnotized by some music and dancing mermaids, so the servants had to tie her to the boat’s mast so as not to crash. Then they came across a six-headed monster who tried to block their way. Lemon threw a sock at one of its heads and it fled. But soon enough, they ran into a whirl pool. Lemon climbed the mast and released the flag and they were saved.

            A day later, they were struck by lightning and got separated. On the third day, Lemon was still not home and the king and queen were worried, but still waited for her.

            On the sixth day, Lemon finally arrived home with no boat and no servants. She was exhausted. Lemon quickly ran into the castle to tell her journey.
