Bolda the Bright woke up early in her cozy Viking home. She felt excited because today was the spring egg hunt in the village. She grabbed her wooden helm and smiled, ready for adventure!
In a corner of the room, Glimmer Puff floated happily. The sparkly ghost giggled and danced in the air, eager to help with the day's fun.
Bolda stepped outside and breathed in the fresh spring breeze. She saw meadows full of colorful blooms. She could not wait to find all the hidden eggs!
Shimmering in the grass was a single rainbow-striped egg. Its shell gleamed under the warm sun, hinting at a sweet surprise inside.
Bolda laughed when she saw the shiny egg glimmering in the grass. She gently picked it up and placed it in her woven basket, being calm and careful.
Glimmer Puff floated closer, pointing to a slip of paper hidden under a bright patch of daisies. Suddenly, a gust of wind nearly snatched it away!
Bolda ran after the fluttering clue, her braided hair swaying behind her. She grabbed it just before it flew off, but the letters were smudged by the morning dew.
At the edge of the meadow stood a tall sign carved with Viking runes. The symbols looked old, telling tales of hidden treasures and brave deeds.
