Chapter 1 – Fated Journey
Innocent eyes roamed the lush greenery around him. The wind picked up the sweet aroma of flowers around him, the scent reminiscent of his home.
Home. His home. A twang of pain tugged at his heart. He missed his home dearly, but it was a journey he had to make. Every year around this time, his people had to make a journey around the Alcheringa to deliver joy in the form of chocolate eggs to the children. This year, his mission was to travel to Lagendia, a land he was familiar with only through tales from the Elders. The land of hope and peace in the past but now shaken by monsters and a sense of impending doom.

The Easter Bunny shifted his backpack against his slight furry frame. His loot this year was unlike the rest – Magic Gold Eggs and an Invisible Dragon Wing. No chocolate eggs for the children of Lagendia it seemed. With darkness tearing at the land, the little ones needed something more powerful to give them hope.
As he walked on, the Easter Bunny reached for his backpack in a subconsciously protective gesture. His little furry paw brushed worn-out canvas, a dark hole forming at the right side of it. Wait… what? A hole?
With a gasp, he swung his backpack to the front and came face to face with his worst fears. His backpack had torn through at the right side, a hole as big as his fist mocking him. The Easter Bunny’s heart hammered wildly as he unzipped the bag to ensure the contents within was safe. The Magic Gold Eggs were all accounted for and he heaved a sigh of relief. He rummaged further and his heart skipped a beat.
WHERE WAS THE INVISIBLE DRAGON WINGS?!!
The Easter Bunny broke out in cold sweat, his heart now in a wild thumping frenzy. Did he drop it somewhere? He couldn’t remember, and it was a long, long road to backtrack. Oh, the poor children of Lagendia, they would have no hope this Easter! And the Elders would absolutely make rabbit stew out of him! He had to find the Invisible Dragon Wings somehow!
