The Cloud Castle

Top Secret Communication

"It's from the Seven Roses Unit!" Paulina cried,  recognizing the symbol stamped on the package.
   Before I could open it, the squeal of a ringtone came from inside. I quickly opened the box and found a cell phone in it. Will Mystery's face Popped up on the screen, and I pressed the speakerphone button.
   "Will! It's nice to hear from you," I said.
   "You, too, Thea," he replied. "Hope you don't mind the special-delivery phone. This phone line is highly protected, and only used in an Emergency."
   "Is that why you're calling?" I asked.
   "I'm afraid so," he replied. "There's a problem in the Land  of Clouds."
   "The Land of Clouds?" I asked. The Thea Sisters gathered closer to the phone, anxious to know more. 
   "It is one of the secret fantasy worlds," he explained. "I believe that it is  in danger."
   "Did a new crack appear on the map in the Hall of the Seven Roses?" Nicky asked. The map was a Magical one, and a crack meant that a fantasy land was in trouble.
   "That's Exactly what happened," Will confirmed. "I must travel to the Land of Clouds as soon as possible."
   "Do you need our help?" I asked. 

Will Mystery and The Seven Roses Unit

Will Mystery
   He is the head of the Seven Roses Unit, a research team that studies fantasy worlds- the worlds inhabited by characters from myths and legends.

Hidden HQ
   The Headquarters of the Seven Roses Unit is hidden beneath the ice of Antarctica. Only the members of the unit know how to find the entrance.

Crystal Pendants
   Researchers who work for the unit receive a crystal pendant  in the shape of a rose. It contains their ID and allows them to open doors throughout the headquarters.

The Magical Map And The Crystal Elevator
   In the heart of the unit, inside the Hall of the Seven Roses, a magical map shows all of the fantasy worlds and their state of health. When a world is in danger, a crack appears on the map. Also in the hall is the crystal elevator, which leads directly to the fantasy worlds. Only Will Mystery can operate it.

Thea Stilton And The Thea Sisters
   Thea and her students became agents of the Seven Roses Unit due to their great talent as investigations. They work undercover, and when they receive a request for help, they are always ready to lend a paw.

"Of course!" said Will. "That's why I called you. You are the perfect agents for this job. When can you leave?"
   I looked at the Thea Sisters, who were beaming with excitement.
   "Right away!" I replied.
   Will smiled. "Great! I will send our helicopter to pick you up at Sunset."
   "We'll be ready," I promised.
   The call ended and I turned to my students.
   Everyone's eyes shone with enthusiasm.

We Were Ready To Set Off On A New Adventure!
